Patek Philippe introduces the 2024 Only Watch 6301A

[eggonawindow]

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 .

Patek’s minute repeaters are currently amongst greatest watches in the world and deserve to be critiqued with that in mind

I corrected an information you posted wrongly and in return I get these personal attacks on my taste.

I just learnt from your post above that I have bought a Simplicity. Tell me more about me please?

Fair enough, I will go and "read" more about the 5168G.

You posted earlier in the thread that the 6301P is your favorite minute repeater.

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.

Ok fair enough, I’ll go work on myself.
Until next time,

It is a beautifully finished piece but a piece unique for a charity auction.
We don’t all need to like every release from Patek and every watch they design isn’t for everyone of course. Some modern pieces won’t please the traditionalist and vice versa. There will be fan boys who “love” everything Patek release to keep their ADs happy and then more cynical folk who say the good old days of Patek have come and gone. The reality is probably somewhere in between.
It’s clear the last few years of their production releases have been largely uninspiring.

What would be nice would be with the ever higher and higher pieces they are charging for like the likes of 5226, 6119 calatrava and mid tier complications such as 5396, 5205,5326g, we see some of these traditional techniques and beautiful finishing back in at production level not just top tier one off pieces.

Just to be clear, the movement in the 6301 has nothing to do with Dufour's grande sonneries.

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