Recommendations
WATER RESISTANCE
The case of your wristwatch is fitted with different
types of seals that protect the movement against
dust, humidity, ingress of moisture. However, if
your watch receives a blow the crown or the crys‑
tal, its water resistance may be impaired.
If your watch has a leather strap, we recommend that avoid
exposing it to water altogether.
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 Autho‑
rized Patek Philippe Retailer who will send it to
our Geneva manufacture. You can then be assured
that your watch will be cared for by a qualified
master watchmaker at the Patek Philippe head‑
quarters in Geneva.
The master watchmaker will disassemble the mo‑
vement and then inspect, clean, and lubricate
all the individual parts prior to reassembly. The
watch will also be tested and the escapement
regulated if necessary. Finally, its performance
and rate accuracy will be monitored for a period
of two weeks.
The entire process may 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 service issues, please
contact your nearest Authorized Patek Philippe Retailer or
our International Customer Service Department in Geneva.

WINDING
When fully wound, your wristwatch has a power
reserve of at least 40 hours. We recommend that
you wind your watch at about the same time
every day.
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 qua‑
lity 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 develop‑
ment, production, and long‑term maintenance of
an exceptional timepiece.
