To me it is not harmony
In my view, watch seems to be designed without harmony.
1. The hour markers on the upper half vs those in the lower half..the upper hour-markers are very long, virtually creeping into the dial while the lower half markers are tiny (of course to allow for the sub dials)and the difference in the two halves is thus creating a very unbalanced effect on the dial.
2. The pushers are rather too big for the 40mm case and sticking out a long way
3.The dates 27 and 5 are made smaller to allow for the sub registers. Again disharmony for me. Also the date is the most used function and it would have made eminent sense to have creates a digital indication (which , some how does not seem to be patek design philosophy). The date sub register is thus looking cluttered.
4. The date- pointer hand is lost while passing on top of the moonphase disk owing to the dark back ground of the sky. Pointer hand on the dates 11 to 21 will actually obscure the moonphase partly.
5. Both the chrono seconds hands are of same color. Ideally the second chrono hand which catches-up ought to have been of a different color to allow easy differentiation.
This is to not take away the credit from a beautifully designed caliber. It is the dial design that spoils it for me
Always fun
To me it is not harmony
An excellent analysis.

Nobody has mentioned that cute little chin yet.
