SERVICE
We recommend that you have your watch
serviced at least once every five years. For this
purpose, we suggest you take it to an Authorized
Patek Philippe Retailer who will send it to our
Geneva manufacture. You can then be assured
that your watch will be inspected and overhauled
by a qualified master watchmaker at Patek Philippe
headquarters in Geneva. The master watchmaker
will completely disassemble the movement
and then inspect, clean, and lubricate all the
individual parts prior to reassembly. All functions
of the watch will also be tested in detail and the
escapement regulated if necessary. Finally, its
rate accuracy will be monitored and precision-
adjusted for a further period of at least two weeks.
The case and the buckle will be polished as per
your instructions and your watch will be returned
to you in mint condition. The entire process will
take several weeks because each watch must
undergo a complete series of tests to fulfill the
strict quality criteria of Patek Philippe.
If you have any questions regarding the
maintenance of your watch, contact the
Authorized Patek Philippe Retailer nearest you or
our International Customer Service department in
Geneva, or visit www.patek.com.
WINDING
Your watch has a manually wound movement which
when fully wound has a power reserve of at least 48
hours. We recommend that you wind your watch daily
at about the same time, preferably in the morning.
Turn the crown clockwise gently and steadily, and stop
when you feel resistance. Excessively forceful winding
could damage the movement.
We advise you to wind the watch before you put
it on. This way, you can avoid lateral pressure
on the winding stem which, in the course of the
years, could damage the stem tube.
The same applies to handsetting. Please use your
fingernails to pull the crown out and turn it gently
between two fingertips.
PATEK PHILIPPE SEAL
The Patek Philippe Seal is a global emblem of
quality that applies to the completed and fully cased
watch. It covers the movement, the case, the dial,
the hands, the pushers, the straps and bracelets,
the clasps, as well as all other components that
contribute to the accuracy and aesthetic appeal of
a watch. It takes technical, functional, and design-
related aspects into account and also covers the
visual appearance of the watch, its rate accuracy
and dependability, as well as the quality of the
customer service to which its owner is entitled. It
encompasses the entire know-how and the unique
facets that govern the development, production,
and long-term maintenance of an exceptional
timepiece.
