Recommandations
WATER RESISTANCE
Although your watch is equipped with a water-
resistant crown, the presence of the minute re-
peater pusher do not ensure the water-resistance
of the watch, or even a total protection of the
case against humidity.
Therefore, exercise care to ensure that liquid does not come
into contact with your watch.
SERVICE
We recommend that you have your watch ser-
viced at least once every three to five years. For
this purpose, we suggest you take it to an Au-
thorized 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 mas-
ter 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 de-
tail 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 pol-
ished as per your instructions and your watch will
be returned to you in mint condition. The en-
tire 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 nearest Patek Philippe Authorized
Retailer, our International Customer Service department in
Geneva; or else visit www.patek.com.
CHANGING THE CASE-BACK
Your watch comes with a sapphire crystal case-
back and an interchangeable solid metal case-
back. Only qualified master watchmakers at the
Patek Philippe workshops in Geneva are autho-
rized to perform this change.
PATEK PHILIPPE SEAL
The Patek Philippe Seal is a global emblem of
quality that applies to the completed and fully
cased watch, encompassing the movement, the
case, the dial, the hands, the pushers, the strap
and bracelet, the clasp, as well as all other com-
ponents that contribute to the accuracy and
aesthetic appeal of a watch. It takes technical,
functional, and design-related aspects into ac-
count and also covers the visual appearance of
the watch, its rate accuracy and reliability, 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 mainte-
nance of an exceptional timepiece.
