5960 Calendar problem
Dear all,
I have had a 5960P for just over 2 years, but I don't wear it often. This time I've been wearing it for about a week then suddenly I found that the month didn't switch over to FEB this morning (both Day and Date changed correctly to MON and 1). So, I performed the following 2 experiments
1) I adjusted the date to JAN 29 and then use the forward time adjustment (with the crown) to set it pass 30th, 31st and then I found this time the month switched over to FEB correctly (as did the day and date).
2) I repeated the experiment by reseting the date to JAN 29, but this time I adjusted the time forward to 10pm on JAN 31 and let it run normally. Again, only the day and date changeover correctly. The month did not change over even after 5am (not realtime, but experimental time). In real time it is now nearly 2pm local time (GMT+13)
Can anyone please offer any suggestions on how to deal with this problem? Is sending it back for repair to only way?
I hope it is not anything major because it no longer carries any warranty.
Thanks.

Many thanks to all those who have responded. I did follow the instructions exactly, but I am now going to run the experiment once more and if it fails then I guess I have no choice but to send it in for service. Incidentally, yesterday I randomly tested t...

When I first purchased my 5960P, my watch did the exact same thing when April 30th changed to May 1st. I returned to my AD and he reset it exactly as the manual indicated. No further problem since then. My 5036 did this, too. Pateks must be set using the ...

Please let us know what happens after you try all the suggestions.... I hope that the problem gets resolved... However, if it doesn't, I suggest that you sent it to PP as soon as possible, as delaying could make it worse... Good luck... Cheers
