Patek Philippe

Whilst I have the 324 movement is looks very similar.

 

The 'unfinished' wheel on that rocks back and forth with the movement of the rotor actually has a very fine sort of perlage finishing and is silver in colouor.  I expect yours has the same finish.

The sliding bolt you referred to is actually a clutch which I beleive controls the hand winding vs automatic.  If you give the rotor a few anti-clockwise rotations you'll see the clutch disc move towards the middle.  Then  hand wind it and it will move back to the side.

My 5056P has the same on both counts and my local Patek service centre has also serviced it before so nothing to be concerned. This is a great pickup and I still like this watch a lot. When it comes to Annual Calendars, I think Patek sets the standard....  

thank you Arthur.... case#

where do you find the case# , since the 5056P doesnt come with a solid case-back, at least I never saw one being offered.
