Patek Philippe: The AD needed to read the manual!

Wempe Bond Street set the time. And it turns out they did it incorrectly causing the month to stick! Assured by PP that there is no damage. Watch being sent back tomorrow, with a gift from Wempe of a leather strap in a year's time.

My new 5726 is only a week old, and today on 1st Dec the watch reads Monday 1 Nov !!!! I cannot believe that such an expensive watch has such an important function already faulty.
