Care and maintenance
PATEK PHILIPPE SEAL
The Patek Philippe Seal applies to the entire watch,
including the movement, case, dial, hands, push-
ers, strap, and clasp as well as to all other facets
that contribute to the precision and aesthetic per-
fection of the timepiece. It covers the technical,
functional, and aesthetic factors, but also rate ac-
curacy, dependability, and customer service qual-
ity. Additionally, it reflects the maker’s know-how
and all other assets needed for the development,
production, and long-term maintenance of an ex-
traordinary timekeeping instrument.
WATER RESISTANCE
Your watch is fitted with different types of seals
to protect the movement against the ingress of
dust and moisture and to prevent damage if it is
immersed in water. Nonetheless, we recommend
that you prevent direct contact with water if your
watch has a leather strap.
CHANGING THE CASE BACK
Your watch comes with a sapphire-crystal case back
as well as with an interchangeable solid-metal back.
Only our watchmakers at the Patek Philippe work-
shops in Geneva are authorized to replace this back.
SERVICE
We recommend that you have your watch ser-
viced every five years. The best way to do this is to
bring your watch to an Authorized Patek Philippe
Retailer who will be happy to forward it to our
workshops for you. 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 watchmaker will completely disassemble the
movement, clean all of its parts, then readjust and
lubricate it during the reassembly process. 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 two weeks. The en-
tire 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 the mainte-
nance of your watch, contact the Authorized Patek
Philippe Retailer nearest you or our International
Customer Service department in Geneva, or visit
