They are better at fooling customers with cheaper mechanical finishing.
But first, I should say that your personal Patek is very nice and please enjoy it. I have no intention to make anyone feel even a moment of challenge about their own watch. These are all lovely watches.
Okay, now back to it:
For Patek, you don't go from 5k pieces produced to 60k+ pieces without corners being cut!
It could be that larger cheaper, machine anglage looks more impressive than a more narrow, actually hand finished movement when given a quick glance at a distance.
I've bought an entry level classique and the movement is lovely with two interior angles which you won't find on a Lange or even much higher end Pateks.
I think Patek is far superior over Breguet at building hype in the brand.
I would consider an older geneva seal Patek to be a different story, of course. A calatrava from 2007 or something similar would make a lovely watch to own and gives up nothing to any equivalent watch.
And again, enjoy what you have, these posts are just nit-picking, ultimately.
Breguet Finishing VS AP/PP/VC
my breguet is finished at least as nice
Why compare?
Breguet movements are hand finished, Patek are not.
Great answer, thank you!

Thank you for your reply, and no worries, i love to hate Patek.

Yes, of course, but at that price point, you find ALS and Breguet will compete on those terms, or thereabouts, with higher end finishing and interesting movements.
