For the person who is very knowledgeable about finishing they will see all the extensive lengths Patek Philippe went to. For the most knowledgeable, they will even find areas of improvement! These photos can mean a lot to different people. Exquisite post....
Not sure how I missed the original post

but seldom if ever have I seen better taken photos of an iconic movement and watch. I am hoping that the 240Q in my 5940G will have a similar high level of craftsmanship. Photo borrowed from SJX as my watch remains in my dealer's safe! ...
Thanks Patrick!

I'm not sure I explained the jewels as well as I would've liked. I don't want to give the impression that there is a large amount of oil, but I think the shape is more so that the watchmaker has an easier and more accurate way of placing the oil.
It's definitely true...

The friction part wasn't part of my consideration, but it's definitely true less surface area to rub on. Great job researching it! Kudos! Yes, definitely the hole itself has some curvature to it. Not the actual jewel in its entirety. I wasn't very clear a...
