Patek watchmaker told me..
Apr 16, 2011,23:12 PM
The Patek watchmaker at the London Salon told me not to be concerned about the noise in my 5296 Calatrava. Apparently the new 324's are louder due to the zirconium bearings used in the rotor.
He said a lot of people came back concerned about the noise as it's louder than previous Patek offerings. Nothing to worry about and just due to the long life bearings used which require no lubrication.

i wondered what they had changed to incur the noise from the previous calibre.
Music for me as well

I got so excited the first time I heard my 5711 doing that sound! It`slike music for me as well, but it seems that it makes this noise not wounding, but when it's just rotating. It seems to me that it wounds clockwise, and runs lose counterclockwise, doin...
