Patek Philippe 240

Probable

Base for a large family of Patek complications. A micro-rotor in 22k gold sits within the movement outline; a full rotor in a watch presented as carrying a 240 is inconsistent with the caliber.

Ultra-thin automatic wound by a micro-rotor recessed into the movement plate rather than riding above it — the alternative solution to the same height problem the 920 solves with a peripheral bearing.
