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. |
