The Patek Philippe 6301P Grande Sonnerie replica watch is a masterpiece of exquisite design, with a grand and small chiming mechanism, as well as a minute repeater and a new patented jumping seconds hand.
This new manual-winding Calibre GS 36-750 PS IRM is very complicated, as it consists of 703 parts, despite the fact that the movement itself is only 37mm wide and 7.5mm thick. With three patents and the use of silicon components, this is a movement that is very modern in construction and design.
In Patek Philippe swiss replica watches usa words, the 6301P Grande Sonnerie is a “derivative” of the Calibre 300 found in the behemoth Grandmaster Chime 6300G. With a platinum case designed in wearable size, the 6301P is a special timepiece with a rare complication that is very subtle.
Although this movement is relatively compact, it does require a lot of power to perform all these highly complex functions. Patek Philippe 1:1 replica watch solution consists of two twin barrels connected in series, one dedicated to the running train and the other to the striking mechanism.
Since the 6301P is a carillon, it has three gongs, each tuned to low, mid or high notes, which together produce a beautiful percussion sound. The hour strikes on the lowest-pitched gong, and the quarter hour strikes in the order of high, low and medium.
Running at 25,200 vph, the movement provides a 72-hour power reserve for the luxury replica watch and a 24-hour power reserve for the percussion mechanism. Thus, when fully wound, the 6301P Grand Sonnerie will strike the full hour and quarter hour throughout the day for 24 hours.
Use the case’s slide switch at 6 o’clock to activate the petite, self-sounding Strikework mode, which only sounds on the hour. The same slide switch can also be used to activate silent mode, in which the striking function is turned off, although the minute repeater can be easily activated by pressing the inset pusher at 3 o’clock in the crown.
With the third system used here, the mechanism uses wheels and release levers to unlock the gear train every second, Patek Philippe replica watches online shopping which is a boon given the energy consumption. I’m sure the pleasure of seeing the second hand jump to 60 immediately with the chiming is not easy to tire of.
The case design is decidedly dignified, a typical decision inherent in Patek Philippe, and underscoring that this piece is designed to be heard more than anything else. Measuring 44.8mm wide and 12mm thick, this is a very slim piece that offers stealth with a platinum case.
In a very quirky and unexpected move, Patek Philippe wholesale of aaa replica watches china chose to paint the hands with luminous light, which is ironic since it developed a striking mechanism to show the time in the dark. Given the discreet and reasonable size of this watch, the owner might actually wear it and wonder when it gets dark.
The Patek Philippe 6301P Grande Sonnerie is an absolutely hidden masterpiece from Patek Philippe at the end of the year, and I really hope to get my hands on it soon.
