The Patek Philippe caliber 26-330-SC is a basic 3-hander automatic movement with a date calendar complication.
At the time of this article, the 26-330 S C is found in 34 watches in the Patek Philippe catalog, including the Nautilus and Aquanaut.
Among the models using this movement, the 26-330 S C is also found in the controversial Cubitus collection of watches which were introduced in October 2024.
Variations:
The 26-330 S C actually has two versions depending on the date location, which also affects the printing on the datewheel.
- 26-330 S C/430 – Date at 3:00
- 26-330 S C/ 435 – Date at 6:00
There is also a similar cal. 26-330 S, which is a true no-date version.
Accuracy Rating:
Patek Philippe movements, such as the 26-330 SC being discussed on this page, leave the factory tested at an average accuracy of -1 to +2 seconds per day.
