That is a question asked around here for many years.
If you give only the absolute best the “haute horlogerie” label, it is not in this club. It is not the finest flyback big date chronograph movement out of Germany circa 2000. That would be the L951.1 of the same-era Datograph.
The Cal. 61 finishing is a step up from what is typical in mid-grade movements like the Zenith El Primero or Glashütte Cal. 37. It has a lot of handcrafted character, but not a dogmatic adherence to the ABCs of fine finishing. Reminds me a bit of the best IWC movements. There is no doubt it is special, even if it cannot be strictly classified. As we say, a unique duck.

Thanks! I forgot about that list and thanks again for confirming what level this caliber belongs to!
I'll keep researching about this watch and before pulling the trigger I'll most likely ask a few more questions over here
Has been one of my favourites for years...
TLDR: Big enthusiast of the Panograph, so I wrote a bit more than expected. I bought a Panograph secondhand in 2009. Likely due to this forum - I’ve been semi-active here for a while. I visited the factory in 2010, a side trip to a conference. At the fact...
can Cal 61 be considered haute horlogerie?
I thought that was the case but based on the last couple of comments I'm not so sure anymore

thanks for the picture and your review of the watch, specially as an owner
I never thought of a bracelet but I have to say it looks really good. I visited GO manufactory a couple of years ago and it only reinforced my need to own something special from them
