CAUTION
Please wind the watch and set the time before
you put the watch on. This prevents lateral
pressure on the winding stem. Please use
your fingernails to pull the crown out and
turn it gently between two fingertips.
Never pull out the crown in a humid envi-
ronment or underwater: the water resist-
ance of your watch is assured only when
the crown is pushed home.
We recommend that you wind your watch
fully at about the same time every day, pref-
erably in the morning.
If your watch has stopped running, rewind
it fully before performing any adjustments.

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

PATEK PHILIPPE SEAL
As an all-encompassing hallmark of quality,
the Patek Philippe Seal applies to the entire
watch, including the movement, case, dial,
hands, pushers, strap, and clasp as well as to all other
facets that contribute to the precision and aesthetic
perfection of the timepiece. It covers the technical,
functional, and aesthetic factors, but also rate accu-
racy, dependability, and customer service quality.
Additionally, it reflects the maker's know-how and
all other assets needed for the development, produc-
tion, and long-term maintenance of an extraordinary
timekeeping instrument.
