10800
Dreams are mostly blur ... same with this dream watch ...
It should have 8 scalings per second as it beats with 28.800 A/h, and not 5.
This is with possibly all (?) Patek chronos.
It looks like a dream chrono, but if you approach your dream closer and pay attention to details, with a clear mind: it showes faults.
BUT: never mind!
A Patek is not soemthing that measures itself with the mundane world ...

A technical question on Caliber 28-520 and 5980/5960
The following technical question would merit an interesting discussion. Caliber 28-520 used in Patek 5980 and 5960 has a central seconds hand that is used as a timekeeping seconds hand that can be kept permanently running ( even when the chronograph funct...
excellent question
the chrono second hand can run continuously and DOUBLE as a second hand because of the lack of friciton in the 28-520 and evenly distributed energy to the chrono modual and time keeping, BUT does not replace or act as the real second hand. Internally, the...
Thanks. It endorses my view on accuracy then...
Thanks very much. Therefore it appears that it would always be in inadvisable approach for any watch to try and use the chrono-seconds hand to double-up as a time-keeping seconds hand also. Each time the chrono seconds resumes its work as a time keeping s...
A precision
Hi, Indeed the 5980 (and 5960) doesn't have a permanent seconds hand. Time is indicated only by hour and minute hands. Due to the construction of the calibre you can let the chrono engaged permanently if you want, meaning also that you can use the central...
Patek thus ignores the importance of the central seconds hand in time-keeping.
I did not say that the watch will become inaccurate. I agree that even when the chrono functions are engaged , the time-keeping minutes hand will continue to keep its accurate time, however the seconds hand when reset from chrono-seconds to timekeeping-se...
And more questions
If the chrono-seconds hand is left running as a permanent timekeeping-seconds hand, then it would also lead to the chrono-minute hand and the chrono-hour hand ( in the sub dial at 6' O clock) running continuously. This leads to the following questions 1. ...
