MAINTENANCE

CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN
Your watch is delivered with a certificate of origin
that indicates the movement and case numbers. The
certificate is valid only if it is dated, signed by an
Authorized Patek Philippe Retailer, and completed
with your name. It guarantees the authenticity of
your watch and validates your warranty privileges
for a period of two years after the date of sale. The
unique movement and case numbers of each watch
are transcribed into the workshop journals. With
this information, you may have yourself entered
in the Patek Philippe Register of Owners and will
International Patek Philippe Magazine
obtain the
of charge.

QUALITY CONTROL

Like mechanical movements, Patek Philippe's
quartz movements are subject to several weeks of
tests and inspections to verify their rate accuracy,
reliability, functional integrity, and overall
appearance. They do not leave the workshops
before they thoroughly fulfill all of our quality
requirements, agreed to be the most stringent in
the entire Swiss watchmaking industry.

ACCURACY
Patek Philippe quartz movements leave our work-
shops with a rate deviation ranging from +127 to
-18 seconds per year. Fluctuations in position, tem-
perature, or air pressure, the presence of magnetic
fields (as produced by most electronic devices,
metal detectors, household appliances, etc.) as well
as vibrations and other factors may also affect their
accuracy. If you notice that your watch exhibits such
irregularities, please do not hesitate to take it to an
Authorized Patek Philippe Retailer or an Authorized
Service Center where no effort will be spared to
assure that it is adjusted to meet your expectations.
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. It is advisable to have
a water-resistance test carried out every year on
your watch. This is a simple procedure that takes
only a few minutes at a properly equipped point
of sale.
