If you have your eye on a Philipp Plein watch, of course you want to be sure you are dealing with an original. These stylish watches are extremely popular, which unfortunately also makes them a target for counterfeiting. In our Watch News, you will discover 5 indispensable tips to help you distinguish an original Philipp Plein watch from a fake. A real watch is cool, a fake is bad luck!
Philipp Plein is quite strict in choosing sales channels. Only genuine dealers and reputable watch shops sell this watch brand. Check the reviews of the shop where you plan to buy a watch and also check how easy (or difficult) the return process is in case you don't like the watch.
Once you have received the watch, always check the packaging and the warranty. Of course, you only do this after ordering so make sure you can easily return the watch (see point 1) in case of doubt. A genuine Philipp Plein watch is always delivered in a luxury box (Philipp Plein has very special 'skull' boxes) containing an original guarantee certificate and serial number. Is this missing? Then that's a first red flag.
See an offer that seems too good to be true? Chances are it is. Authentic Philipp Plein watches are exclusive and are not sold at extremely high discounts. The latest collections are not just on sale. However, you will find old collections reduced in price.
An original watch feels solid and is made of high-quality materials such as stainless steel, real Leather or robust silicone straps. Fake models are often light and feel cheap. At Philipp Plein, the valve cover of the watch always bears the brand logo and a type designation.
The Philipp Plein logo is always tightly printed or engraved, never crooked or vague. Also note fine details like the dial, crown and engraving on the back of the case. At Philipp Plein, this is well cared for and of fine quality.
The best way to be sure of authenticity? Buy your watch from an official dealer like WatchXL (we supply guaranteed original Philipp Plein watches directly from the manufacturer).
A genuine Philipp Plein watch is an investment in style and quality. By looking critically at details and buying from reliable outlets, you can avoid disappointment. At WatchXL, you are always assured of an authentic and unique watch that will last for years.
