Are you really saying not buying a MR is "about as disrespectful as it gets" but suggesting that Patek "spent five minutes" on the 6301A is "constructive" criticism? Really? Of course Patek combined elements of different models into the 6301A. A new case material and dial is pretty normal for a Watches and Wonders submission. |

Why buy a Phillipe dufour time only over a Patek minute repeater? It’s evident reasons such as hand finishing (hand done guilloche dials, handworked anglage) come into play because a minute repeater is leagues above a 3 hander. Yet when I mention those factors, he suddenly doesn’t care about them. Dont get me wrong , I love Patek minute repeaters. In fact, the 6301P is my favourite. Hence why I criticise the 6301A because I feel that there is 0 innovation in neither the dial nor the movement . Whats ironic is the 6301P is a play on Phillipe Dufours grande and petite sonnerie. I would advise you and the gentleman in question to read up about them (there are only 8 in the world). Then come back to me and tell me how good the 6301A is. You know what I think should’ve been released as a unique piece? A version of the 5308P. What a watch. That is Patek at its best - split seconds perpetual calendar chronograph minute repeater . Not copying dufours designs and changing dials . Why did Patek not invent the grand and petite sonnerie? It could’ve . Now it has the opportunity to go further with a 3rd sonnerie for minute chimes.

Did you or did you not approve of the 5208T when it was "just" a different version of the 5208P with "only" a different dial and case material? "Zero innovation" as you would put it. |

I’m not trolling, the 5208P and 5308Ps have in house produced movements that are unique to Pateks DNA. The 6301A has a movement copied off Phillipe Dufour with half of the finishing quality . I’m not sure what your point here is .

Now you malign it as watch with a copied movement. You’re clearly just spouting off to be contrary. If you’re going to spout off, at least be consistent. |

Dufour used a late 18th century vallee de joux design, while the movement in the 6301 was designed by Patek for the grandmaster chime. |
