Does anyone know what is Patek's criteria for their approval of minute repeaters? My SE doesn't know for sure but he said Patek HQ has approved the application for another customer who already owned a 5204.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I went to the Saloon not too long ago and was really disappointed. The reception was very very very cold. I got to do tons of tours in many different manufactures and independents but not Patek. I also went to the museum and wasn’t impressed. In the SA own words, the Saloon is like any other AD, they get allocated certain pieces every year and they sell it to their locals and perhaps other VVIP that have had profile over the years. The only benefit to visiting the Saloon is you can try any piece. But that’s it
