I had heard of a ~200k demarcation by Ben Clymer
That Patek was the best (excluding certain indies obviously) on pieces greater than $200K. So that's the only "authoritative" thing i had ever heard (other than looking at photos on here!)
Tiers of finishing at Patek
Hello all! Anyone feel comfortable describing tiers of current day Patek finishing? For example I’m curious if a 324 based 5320 is has better finishing than a calatrava 324? Or is it all pretty similar until you get over 200k? Does an annual calendar 5396...
I think the finishing level
stuff on-line is more of a myth than reality. I think all PP movements are finished the same. Some high complications have more parts, than a Calatrava. which are also finished as say any manual chronograph.

This has been discussed a few times before, so have a look in the forum for it!
Machine finished up until minute repeater and rattrapante, which are better hand-finished, iirc.
