Patek did upgrade...
Hi Bruno. I only own 5146, with the 324 calibre.
A few months ago, while I was doing my homework prior to the purchase, I saw a number of adverse comments on the accuracy of the 315 calibre, and it was not a matter of just one second per month. It made me wait for a new piece with the 324, whilst one with the 315 was available. Perhaps I was just naive.
I do not think I would change a watch I like just to get a 4 Hz movement, but I welcome Patek's change to a calibre that is easier to regulate and does not seem to attract so many complaints about accuracy.
Thinking of upgrading....What do you think
I have now been told that the new 324 movement that has been fitted to the 5146 for some time in the USA and other countries. Is due to arrive over here in the next few weeks. And I was considering part exchanging my cuurrent Y/G for a W/G with a cream di...
I don't see this as an upgrade

More Accurate, Perhaps?
At 28,800 vibrations per hour versus 21,600, isn't the calibre 324 supposed to be more accurate than the 315?
not necessarily
Patek said a customer would not notice any difference , being more accurate would make a differcence. On the other hand, who cares if a watch loses 1 secon more or less per month.

BCL many thanks for your post....
As a matter of interest, how has the accuracy been? And which 5146 did you get?
