Setting The Time - Patek Philippe GENEVE PERPETUAL CALENDAR CHRONOGRAPH Mode D'emploi

INSTRUCTIONS
WINDING CROWN
The winding crown is used to manually wind the
watch (position 1) and to set the time (position 2).
WINDING
Your watch incorporates a manually wound move-
ment. Fully wound and with the chronograph dis-
engaged, it will continue to run for at least 55 hours.
We recommend that you wind your watch at about
the same time every day, preferably in the morning.
Turn the crown clockwise gently and steadily, and
stop when you feel resistance. Excessively forceful
winding could damage the movement.

SETTING THE TIME

To set the time, gently pull the crown all the way
out and move the hands in either direction. Once
you have set the correct time, push the crown home
again. The day/night indicator allows you to verify
whether the time displayed by your watch is between
6 a.m. and 6 p.m. (white) or between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.
(blue). When you turn the hands clockwise beyond
midnight, the calendar displays will advance as
well. We advise against turning the hands coun-
terclockwise across midnight because this would
desynchronize the calendar displays; however, it
would not damage the calendar mechanism.
Your watch has a stop-seconds mechanism that halts
the seconds hand as soon as you pull the crown out
to position 2. This allows you to synchronize your
watch with an acoustic time signal to one-second
accuracy. As soon as you push the crown home (posi-
tion 1), the seconds hand will start running again.
