I'm not sure and not home with the tool at the moment. The one I bought had two different tip sizes.

For a Patek 5167 the larger tip size is the one to get 1.3 mm. The tool 6825 is fantastic. way easier than the 7825.

Whatever size you get, make sure it’s Bergeon. More expensive than knockoff cheap ones but you don’t want a low quality tip against your watches!! They can break. They can break and you just scratched your minute repeater. Sadly this has been my personal experience
