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.
service
We recommend that you have your watch serviced
every five years. For this purpose, we suggest that
you bring or send your watch to an Authorized
Patek Philippe Retailer or an Authorized Service
Center. This gives you the assurance that your
watch will be entrusted to hands of a qualified
Patek Philippe watchmaker in Geneva or at an
Authorized Service Center.
The watchmaker will completely disassemble the
movement and then clean and inspect all parts
and lubricate them in 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
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 the maintenance of your
watch or need the address of the Authorized Patek Philippe
Service Center nearest you, contact our International Customer
Service department in Geneva, or visit www.patek.com.
