Wonderful! And thank you, Kalle, for the way you speak!👍
Beautiful watch but the star of the show on Chronoglide is always the rust, arbor wear and oil slicks. And Coffee
Not really my taste, but a VERY beautiful movement and i can appreciate the craftsmanship. Great channel!
Love that you show us the hidden beauty, what fine "ART"
With my limited skills I not worthy to visit the museum but enjoying this video thank you Kalle🤩
😍amazing, your passion for your work is brilliant, keeps me watching🧐
Even though you share about truly amazing watches all the time on this channel, this one really does take the cake! From what I understand, these are pretty much one-off handmade watches, yet they have a quality of work and uniformity that would be typical if you had to make a million identical watches. Hopefully, you will have some more videos about the internals. Perpetual calendar mechanisms are always fascination!
stunning watch
Gorgeous movement and watch. 🎉
I had the exact same experience at the Patek museum. All those incredible watches side-by-side results in that nothing seems to really stand out on its own. I enjoyed myself, but I can imagine the main public is not to understand the true greatness that is showcased there.
De tranen van gevoel biggelen over mijn smoel! Wat een masterpiece! Dank dat je dit met ons hebt gedeeld. Betreffende het museum.... Jaaaaaaaren geleden ( schoolreis Christiaan Huygensschool ) het museum bezocht en toen al zwaar onder de drukinkt, ik bedoel indruk. Heden ten dage zal het nog wel veel "erger" zijn maar wil toch nog een keer gaan kijken. Nogmaals bedankt🙂
Oh, that would be a great opportunity! 😊
The Patek Philippe logo on the rotor has four numbers 3 in it 😉
Beautiful perfection.
As many requests on this channel is to finally see an assembly video - maybe, this could be an excellent movement "candidate"...? BTW, great hint on visiting the Museum in Geneve...
Lovely work of art, it would be my second dream watch affter a breguet.
Reason is I love history and boy does breguet have history. :D
Patek Philippe are always exceptional & beautiful, finely decorated thru in & thruout! 👌❤️
I will never say this enough: take off your watches on a soft landing zone: mattress, couch, etc.! Never near ceramic wash bassin, granite flooring , etc. as to avoid major shock to sapphire glass & delicate movement!
On another note: beautiful video 👍❤️👌😍
Amazing watch, glad to see it , thank you !
Kalle....surely you know we are all getting excited thinking that we will get to watch this on live stream.
That would be awesome, but he did say that it is already disassembled and is in the safe in parts.
@mercuriall2810 agreed.....but surely he had his cameras going....and a 12 part miniseries will be streamed......eventually.....
@@bolgerguide I certainly hope so.
Perpetual calendar mechanisms in relatively modern watches are often all about functionality and tend to lack the beauty and fine finishing found in antique movements.
Since this movement carries the Geneva Seal, each and every part, every edge, hole, wheel and spring must be finished and free of any trace of production/machining marks to at least 4x magnification, wire springs aren’t allowed either, so I expect that the perpetual calendar parts would be beautifully formed and finished like the rest of the movement.
@mercuriall2810 it will. PP has their own Seal now. Best.
@@bolgerguide Yes, it will, or it couldn’t carry the Geneva Seal. The requirements and rules for this Seal make for interesting reading and leave no room for unfinished parts or surfaces. The rules for springs, levers, cams and jumpers guarantee a beautiful perpetual calendar mechanism, too.
I feel Patek Phillipe creating their own seal, without oversight and standards imposed by an external body allows them some latitude, but I doubt they’d ever compromise their standards for lack of external checks and balances.
From my limited understanding it was Patek Phillipe’s adoption of silicon hairspring technology that left them ineligible for a Geneva Seal on movements that use silicon hairsprings.
The requirements for the Geneva Seal do evolve and are updated. If Silicon hairsprings and other escapement parts are ever allowed, it will be interesting to see whether Patek choose to use the Geneva Seal again or not.
What a beauty 😍😍
patek wauw mooie kalle bedankt!! echt een prachtig uurwerk het balanswiel is ongelooflijk mooi !..idd dat museum staat al een tijdje op mijn wishlist. omg een uitdaging maar ik ben zon slechte inbreker... nee dit is wel even wat anders !!!
The exquisite craftsmanship is a marvel. Staggering. In awe. Great video
Absolutely amazing workmanship and quality, I can only dream!

Beautiful
Gorgeous! A true mechanical piece of art. ❤
Lovely!
beautiful!
Oh, my! Wonderful!!! You really pamper us!
Yes Kalle, simply WOW!!
Good afternoon from Zwolle city :)
Hi kalle, Thanks for sharing. One does not easily get the opportunity to view such a watch up close.
Beautiful watch with awesome decoration. Is it me or just paralax because: the cote de geneve of the balance wheel part does not seem to line up with the other bridge? I know, sometimes I’m nagging too much, ocd comes to mind!😂
An exceptional and beautiful watch, but I can’t help but notice the lack of any sharp internal angles on any bridges or cocks.
This is a sign that all of the anglage was machine applied and polished by hand using a rotary tool. This is a far cry from the labour intensive traditional way of applying anglage.
Patek Phillipe are not the only very high end brand who seem to be avoiding sharp internal angles.
More recent F.P. Journe and most A Lange & Sohne these days also lack any anglage of sharp internal angles.
I’ve seen older movements where they clearly added lots of these incredibly difficult features, with sharp internal angles present purely for the sake of it, just to show off how good they were at finishing. Some of Phillipe Dufour’s work comes to mind.
Wauw. Schitterend uurwerkje weer. Zijn de huidige Pateks ook zo mooi opgebouwd en afgewerkt? Zie eigenlijk op YT nooit een Patek die uit elkaar wordt gehaald.
Great video, if I can kind of half assemble it, can I work half time at least? =P
Thanks much, and did you give the owner a proper scolding?
Serviced a patek a while back, good watches but I'll be honest a bit to over engineered, not that I'm complaining but for a buyer 😆
What is it with rich people dropping their watches ? I have a load of "aliexpress specials", all of which cost me less than £100, and I have never managed to drop any of them....
What is my secret "hack" ???? Easy, I never, NEVER, attempt to put on or take off any watch without sitting down first.
This, along with keeping watches/jewellery on a cloth and never directly on a table, has preserved my pieces even though many of them are 40 years old and in use daily.
Are you able to get parts?
Come on !! Those are not screw tips but pins.
I'm not a big fan of finishing that has no functional benefit, and I'm certainly not willing to pay extra for it. I'm also curious how "transparent" brands are about finishing: are the non-visible parts finished just as well as the parts that can be seen through the caseback?
I do appreciate the finishing, but you are right regarding the finishing often being present only on surfaces that are visible through the case back. Panerai are notorious for doing that, and they’re not cheap watches, either.
This watch will have some form of surface finishing, with no machining marks visible under 4x magnification, because that is a requirement to carry the Geneva seal.
I feel there is also a lack of transparency regarding what is hand finishing and what is machine finishing.
I notice this movement lacks any sharp internal angles on the cocks and bridges with anglage.
The reason there are no sharp internal angles is that no machine can yet perform anglage in a sharp internal angle. This means that the anglage on this watch was machine applied, and perhaps finished by hand using a handheld rotary tool.
This is a far cry from the hand applied anglage performed by Phillipe Difour and the like.
It is interesting, and perhaps telling, to see that even brands like Patek Phillipe, more recently F.P. Journe and most movements by A Lange & Sohne have moved away from sharp internal angles.
Big scratch on the glass, expensive repair I guess.
