Patek Philippe modified non‑indexed double‑P 324 movement.
- Modified with a non‑indexed weighted balance (adjustable screws).
- Movement re‑finished with gilt engraving.
- Fitted with an 18K solid gold rotor.
This is a top‑tier custom upgrade for the Patek Philippe 324 movement. The key improvements are:
- Non‑indexed weighted balance – replaces the standard regulator with a free‑sprung balance and adjustable weighted screws, improving precision and mimicking the architecture of modern Patek calibers like the 330.
- Re‑finished bridges with gilt engraving – the movement has been fully disassembled, bridges re‑polished (Geneva stripes, chamfering), and the engravings filled with gold, achieving a factory‑level aesthetic.
- 18K solid gold rotor – upgrades the winding mass to solid gold, enhancing both winding efficiency and visual luxury.
Why this matters:
For custom builds such as the 5711 or 5167, this modified 324 movement offers the closest possible match to a genuine Patek movement in both function and appearance, at a fraction of the cost. It represents the highest tier of custom movement work – true non‑indexed regulation, authentic finishing, and a solid gold rotor – making it ideal for discerning collectors who demand perfection without paying genuine movement prices.
