In the spirit of absolute transparency, Patek Philippe has opted for an open architecture for the Ref 5303 Minute Repeater Tourbillon that exposes the hammers and the gongs on the dial The gongs are attached directly on the inside of the caseband to maximise sound transmission.

The unprecedented exposure allows one to view the full operation of the minute repeater, something every connoisseur wouldn't be able to resist activating over and over again when the watch is in their hands Interestingly enough, this is one of the rare times that Patek Philippe has made the tourbillon visible on the dial side See also: What better gift than the gift of time - check out these feminine Patek Philippe watches.
