Introduction of the New Patek Philippe Grande Sonnerie Black Dial Watch replica

Patek Philippe Grand Complication Grande Sonnerie black dial watch replica Ref. 6301P is the brand's first watch, "presents the Grande Sonnerie in its purest form as the epitome of horological complications," plus the compact Sonnerie and minute repeater, a watch collectors' The long-awaited combination.

The Dial

The dial is, once again, in the same vein as the Patek Philippe 5370P replica, with its black Grand Feu enamel base. On its glazed surface are white gold Breguet numerals and leaf hands coated with luminescent material. The display remains extremely classic, with central hours and minutes, a small seconds at 6 o’clock and two power reserve indicators – at 9 o’clock for the movement and at 3 o’clock for the sonnerie mechanism.

The Case

At 44.8mm x 12mm, this Patek Philippe Grand Complication wristwatch copy is a somewhat large diameter but not excessively thick wristwatch, especially given its complexity. The movement itself is the new Patek caliber GS 36-750 PS IRM, which is itself 37mm x 7.5mm – but there is quite a lot going on in those tight quarters, about which more in a minute. The case has one other little detail, which is a diamond set in between the lugs, as is customary nowadays for all Patek platinum-cased watches. I think normally we would find it at 6:00, but of course, that position is taken up with the function slide. The dial is quite a lovely thing – black grand feu enamel over a gold base, with long, delicate, tapering leaf hands – which, surprisingly, have lume on them.

The Movement

On to the movement. The caliber GS 36-750 PS IRM has a three-day power reserve for the going train, and a 24-hour power reserve in full strike mode. As is generally the case for a grand strike watch, there are separate mainspring barrels for the strike works and for the going train (the crown winds the mainspring for the going train in one direction and the mainspring for the strike mainspring; there are two mainspring barrels for each train, for a total of four). 

As for the sonnerie, the Patek 6301P replica is equipped with three gongs instead of the classic twin-gong configuration – with three different notes: high, medium and low. This architecture requires more space and more energy but provides a more complex and richer sound to the striking mechanism. All three hammers are identical in shape and size to provide a uniform strike of the gongs. Another challenge in the search for a perfect “Patek sound” was the use of platinum for the case, known to be more demanding than gold.

The sound of the sonnerie is relayed as follows: hours are indicated with low notes and quarters with a succession of three strikes (high, low, medium, played once for the first quarter, twice for half hours and three times for 45min). At each quarter, the grande sonnerie automatically chimes the hours, followed by the number of quarters – which makes a total of 1,056 strikes per 24 hours. A petite sonnerie mode is also included, in which the watch only strikes the hours at full hours, and quarters at quarter hours, without repeating the hours. In silence mode, the chiming complication is deactivated. A trigger at 6 o’clock between the lugs is used to select the mode.

The Function

In addition to the grande and petite sonneries, the Patek Philippe 6301P replica also comes with a minute repeater function, which strikes the time “on demand” by pressing the pusher located in the crown at 3 o’clock. The watch then indicates the hours with low strikes, quarters with triple notes and finally the minutes since the latest quarter with high notes.

Another novelty for this Patek Philippe watch replica is the use of jumping seconds, a first for a grande sonnerie. Inspired by another watch for the 175th anniversary, the Chiming Jump Hour reference 5275, the new Grande et Petite sonnerie watch features a dead-beat seconds function equipped with a system that consumes less energy than a traditional remontoir. Again, a fairly complex mechanism that is exposed in a deceptively simple manner on the dial.

The watch is worn on a classic black alligator strap with a fold-over clasp.
