Patek Philippe AQUANAUT LUCE CHRONOGRAPH Mode D'emploi page 8

CHRONOGRAPH
The chronograph is started and stopped with the
pusher at 2 o'clock. It is reset to zero with the
pusher at 4 o'clock, whether the chronograph
has been stopped or is running. When you press
the pusher at 4 o'clock while the chronograph is
running, this triggers the flyback function: all the
chronograph hands fly back to zero and instantly
start a new measurement. Conversely, if you first
stop the chronograph by pressing the pusher
2 o'clock, actuation of the pusher
cause the chronograph hands to return to the zero
position and stay there. When resetting the chrono-
graph to zero, make sure you press the pusher
4 o'clock firmly and squarely in the middle.
Note: If the chronograph function is not needed, the chrono-
graph hand can continue to run just like an ordinary
sweep seconds hand. This will not cause premature wear
of the clutch mechanism or reduce the power reserve.

CAUTION
On 5968 model, the crown must be com-
pletely unscrewed before you can wind the
watch or set the time.
Please wind the watch and set the time before
you put the watch on. This prevents lateral
pressure on the winding stem. Please use your
fingernails to pull the crown out and turn it
gently between two fingertips.
Never pull out the crown in a humid environ-
ment or underwater: the water resistance of
your watch is assured only when the crown
is pushed home (and screwed down).
Correction push pieces should be actuated
exclusively with the correction stylus that
was delivered with the watch. The use of any
other tool could damage your timepiece.
If your watch has stopped running, rewind
it by hand before performing any corrections
or adjustments (about 10 clockwise turns of
the crown).
Do not perform any date correction between
9 p.m. and 1 a.m.
Every year, the date must be corrected five
times – at the end of each month that has
fewer than 31 days.
Avoid pressing the second strap's metal catches
against the case, so as not to scratch the bezel.
Only an Authorized Patek Philippe Retailer or
an Authorized Patek Philippe Service Center
is qualified to change the strap.
