Thanks for the responses,......even though I was hoping there was "some" place on the outside or visible on the inside of the case through the saphire back that would allow seeing the case number required to get an Abstract from the Archives.  Geeze,.....I don't have a local PP dealer nearby (Albany, NY area) to correctly open the case to get the number. ( New York City and the hassles and cost to get there is the closest PP AD and about 190 miles each way)

And of course a non-AD is not likely to have the special rectangular lugged wrench necessary to remove the back without leaving marks I'd think.

Patek Philippe 5107 Case Number Location??

 
 By: joejeweler : June 10th, 2015-15:36
Hi all,.....I have a Patek Philippe 5107-J Calatrava that I wish to extract an "Extract from the Archives", as I can't seem to find the original certificate since we moved back in 2005. I may be selling this over the next several months is the reason I wi... 

Hi Joe and welcome on PuristSPro!

This is a very nice Calatrava model you have. Well, concerning your question, the case number seems well hidden indeed. I never heard about it and I guess you already looked between the lugs, otherwise it might indeed be inside the case... I don't know wh...

Just to confirm from another source. I have a 5107g with an extract from the archives, the case number is indeed different from the movement number. I also cannot locate the case # on my watch. When you do resolve this issue please share it with the forum... 

Hope you'll get the answer when Joe gets it.

And welcome on our forum! By the way, the movement number is based on a different sequence and is always different from the case's. Please feel free to share some pictures if you can, it is a rare reference :) Cheers, Mark

The watch looks gorgeous and in very good shape. Thanks for having taking the time to share some pics so quickly :) As for you case number, it seems difficult indeed. At least you can call them to be sure the number is inside. Then, finding someone with t... 

case number location

On my 5146, the case number is stamped on the inside of the caseback/sapphire glass ring. It's possibly the same with the 5107 and most other newer Pateks with sapphire backs. ...  

So is that the back side of the case back ring or......?

Hi,...it looks to me as if your pic is showing the reverse side of the gold ring that holds the sapphire back crystal in place,.... is that correct? If so that surprises me, because then the "case" number actually follows a removable ring. So I don;t thin...
