There are four variations of the PP caliber 215:
- caliber 215
- caliber 215 PS
- caliber 215 PS FUS 24H
- caliber 215 PS LU
All are manual wind movements.
From Patek.com:
As the name implies, these movements are wound by turning the crown. The tensioned mainspring drives the wheels inside the watch as it gradually relaxes. Whether ultra thin, cut-away “skeleton”, simple or complicated, the manually wound movement is greatly appreciated by aficionados of traditional watchmaking.
