Patek Philippe

Hi All,

I know that this a great watch, but I have a delicate question for you.

I understand that the split second movement is one of the most difficult to create and adjust. Do you like your 5004 and is it easy to handle without having to get it serviced. How many times do you have to get it serviced? I remember that the 5004 had an unusual design that made it difficult to maintain. I am sure that this has been corrected since, as this is one of Patek's star watches, but can anyone highlight this for me.

Thanks a lot

So far my watch has not experienced any problems since I have owned it.  During the times I have worn it, the 5004 functioned perfectly and kept great time. 

You have a beautiful watch, congrats.

It is nice to know that you have a flawless watch. When did you buy this watch? I wish to know if it was before 2002.

There is a reason for my asking this question. It used to have a specific issue in the past which they must have corrected since then.

You can go back in this website and check for a post by Jeff Kingston about the delicacy of the movement in 2003.

Thanks

I bought the watch last year(new) and have read Jeff's comments on it. I don't play golf with a watch on my wrist or do any physical activity with one on...just my personal preference.

I am happy for you.

It is nice to know that PP has cleaned up the problem that they had in the 5004 (which I would have expected of them).

You are a lucky man. More power to you!

Thanks
