Our 1st Patek - but should it keep stopping?
We acquired our first. It's a 5120G, but it keeps stopping. The dealer told us that "as with most automatic winding watches, you have to wind it 20-30 turns manually if it stops and then wearing it should keep it wound"!! They told me that the normal running time is 48hours? Is this true?
