Patek Philippe

nothing out there....?

 

Is there no information on this calibre?

The Patek website only has superficial info like the number of bridges and the frequency of the balance.  Nothing that explains how the unidirectional winding ststem works or shows an exploded view of the parts.

I found an exploded view for the cal 240 movement online but nothing for any of the newer self-winding movements.

Is no-one else interested in the technical aspects of the movements?
