Reviewed the catalogue explenation ...
but it was not a fruitful explanation given by Patek in their 2009/2010 catalogue as the sketch is too rudimental in explanation.
A shame.
However Jim's observation is the valuable aspect here and the logical connection that I have done is only a result of his observation.
The use of a small months wheel and a satellite wheel instead of a big 48 months wheel is information that was available in a review of the 5159.

Patek 5159G operational observations: Pleasantly surprised...
I had an opportunity to borrow a friends 5159 G for a month to see how a retrograde PP feels like as I always had reservations about this movement. I am a great fan of 5050, but finding one in a condition I like has been unproductive. The sticking retro d...
It is a must (at least for me) to try ...
a watch on your own wrist, before buying. Even better it is to "test ride" it that long, but dangerous as well :-) The 5050 looks almost "protestant" compared to the 5159, but the latter has probably some more "spice" in the long run. Both have to run fla...

If you are a dreamer and not a businessman:5050. If a businessman who wants to dream:5159
I understand, as many others too, your reservations regarding these two watches and the retrograde hand. But as Oliver is saying: I also do not think that Patek has produced something that does not work reliably. However the 5159 changes in movement are t...
Nice review Jim! How come...
...the date change completes before midnight but instantaneous for end of month?? Good luck with your hunt !! Cheers, Gordon
I might have the answer why the date and month change simultaniously and istantaneously ..
... but the day not! It is quite simple: your observation means that the day wheel is linked to the 24h wheel. The day is always succession: Monday, Tuesday, ... and hence a direct connection to the 24h wheel is "enough". The months and date are connected...
Thanks Moritz for the explanation which sounds logical.
Looking forward to reading more from you on this topic. Gordon

I think
Patek corrected the retro hand problems long ago and the new watch has a 323 caliber and not the older 315 caliber. As for the dates being partially cut off, virtually every watch this company makes with multiple complications and dials has overlapping di...
