Normal Use - Patek Philippe 5204 Mode D'emploi

SPLIT-SECONDS CHRONOGRAPH
The two seconds hands are started and stopped by
consecutively pressing the button at 2 o'clock.
To read a lap time without stopping the chrono-
graph, press the button in the crown (split-seconds
button); this will stop the split-seconds hand only.
When you press the split-seconds button anew,
the split-seconds hand will swiftly catch up with
the chronograph hand again. Repeat the process to
obtain further lap time readings.
We advise against running the chronograph per-
manently; this could cause premature wear of the
mechanism.
