Swiss vs. Swiss made?

Perhaps I missed something?

Here are the criteria as of January 2017:

The movement is cased up in Switzerland,
The movement is Swiss,
The manufacturer carries out its final quality control inspection in Switzerland and should bear a ‘Swiss Made’ label
For ‘Swiss Made,’ the watch’s production cost (as a whole) must be Swiss-based and should comprise at least 60% in total; however, if it is a mechanical Swiss watch, there should be at least 80% of the production cost that is connected to the operations conducted in Switzerland.
For the Swiss made quartz, the cost of production should reach 60% and must be generated in Switzerland.
Moreover, it is clearly specified that the technical development of a ‘Swiss Made’ and Swiss watch movement must occur in Switzerland, including the smartwatches.

So what is the other 20% for this watch?



As opposed to my 5711



I know Patek created their own quality seal and left the Geneva seal. This seal appears to be about quality.

Anyone have any insight about the swiss vs swiss made on a current watch?

Thanks
