Does anyone know what the large metal "dot" is on the back of a 324 movement?

I've always wondered what the dot is for, is it the backing of a screw that has the screw head on the dial side of the movement? Is it something else?

It can be seen in the photo below at 2:00 on the Patek movement.

It is part of the crown winding mechanism, if you wind it you will see that it moves
