POSITIONS OF THE WINDING CROWN
Crown pushed in: to wind the watch (1).
Crown pulled out: to set the time in either direc-
tion (2).
WINDING AND POWER RESERVE
We advise you to wind the watch before you put
it on. This way, you can avoid lateral pressure on
the winding crown which in the course of the years
could damage the winding stem or its bushing.
The power reserve of your watch is displayed on a
subsidiary dial at 12 o'clock. The hand indicates the
number of days the watch will continue to run. The
display is very precise. As soon as the hand enters the
red sector on the scale, you should fully rewind the
watch again.
To best benefit from the high rate accuracy of your watch,
you should fully wind it once a week.
SETTING THE TIME
To set the correct time, gently pull out the crown
and turn it in the appropriate direction. Then
push the crown in again, completely.

Recommendations
WINDING
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 to the crown or the
crystal, its water resistance may be impaired.
If your watch has a leather strap, we recommend that you
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.
