Any reason why PP Grand Complication Perpetual Chronos...
...seem to be limited to 30 minutes? Even the new (and beautiful 5172) has that time limit. Maybe it's traditional, but it's not very practical. Would it be that difficult to change the limit to an hour? Just a thought...

Of course...
but that is an Annual and not classified by Patek as a Grand Complication (perpetual). I would just really love to see a 60-minute chrono on a version of the 5172. I can't imagine it would make any difference price-wise.
Yes, I know...
my reply was poorly worded. What I meant was I'd like to see a 'lowly' watch like a 5172 with a longer chrono function.
You are correct...I suppose I was thinking about 'affordable' watches...
but bank accounts are relative : )
And my wife is working on her next IPO...
but we're not there yet : ) Besides, far too thick for my taste even if I had the cash.
Tradition alone, IMO.
I do wish they were longer, making the chrono complication much more useful.
Or a three dial
version to afford 12 hours. Curious why they do not do it on a dress watch.
