PPF Factory has introduced an exciting upgrade with its release of the new generation Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711, featuring the Caliber 26-330SC movement. As a significant technical breakthrough, the 26-330SC movement marks a considerable evolution over its predecessor, the 324 movement.

The new 330SC movement integrates all components such as the balance wheel, gears, and hairspring into a single module, representing a pinnacle of craftsmanship. The fonts are laser-engraved and the bridge is adorned with Geneva stripes and perlage patterns, enhancing the watch’s overall aesthetics and luxury feel.

Notably, the automatic rotor undergoes a transformation with its angle modified to a smoother crescent shape. The central axis of the rotor now features a ruby bearing, which is a safer alternative to the previous screw locking mechanism.

A critical technological advancement in the 330SC is the inclusion of a functional transmission wheel, replacing the decorative silver wheel with a genuine gold wheel. This perfect four-stage acceleration system stabilizes the torque from the mainspring to the escape wheel, improving power transmission efficiency and ensuring stable non-fluctuating oscillation, effectively preventing the second hand from ‘trembling.’

One of the key enhancements of the 330SC movement is the hack seconds mechanism. It employs a traditional watch chain that halts the balance wheel when the crown is pulled out. When the crown is pushed back in, a slight pulse is generated to help reactivate the escapement module.
