Patek Philippe

The Patek 177 is the Frédéric Piguet 21: it is a simple, very old, thin and efficient handwind movement used by several brands.

Designed to be worn a daily basis!

Hi,

The Piguet 21 has been indeed used in many watches for a very long time, among them many Cartier and Blancpain watches. I've never heard of any lack of reliability.

Is it a relatively easy watch to service, find parts, etc.?  I love the cleanliness of the dial and am hoping the movement matches in simplicity (and durability).  How would you compare it to the JLC Ultra Thin cal 849?

Hi,

I prefer the JLC calibre.

Both watches should be serviced only by their makers IMO.
