If there is a battery, it is a bad cheap fake. If there is a mechanical movement, it is a bad and cheap fake, but a bit less bad and cheap.

It's a quartz movement so there is a battery. I was hoping it's legit lol.

Could you point me to what are the signs that its a fake?

Patek made very few quartz watches, this is not one of them. Diamonds looks cheap. Overall quality looks cheap.

Alright Thanks!
Didn't know patek only made a few quartz watches. Could you point me to a resource where I can read more about the quartz watches that patek did make?

Also the diamonds and the overall quality looking cheap could also be due to the fact that its extremely dirty, like its so dirty that I wouldn't wear it without getting it cleaned even if it wasn't a fake.

I'm just wondering if theres a list of quartz watches that patek made that I could check to see if I can find a match. A fake also needs to be modelled after a real, right?

Whatever, this is a fake. Go to an AD if you want…
