Dear Gary
You should contact PP directly by email. They will help you I think. A so rare timepiece have to be handle carefully and with love so if you have a doubt don't hesitate to ask to PP.

Setting Cal. 12-120 QP
Greetings to all! I've searched the forum here and done some additional web research, but I'm not finding anything regarding how to (safely) set the date on the Cal. 12-120 QP perpetual calendar movement. There are of course two pushers: one on the left s...
Interesting
I thought the 3940 was the first perpetual owner's could set by themselves. If yours has pushers set the watch to 12 noon and work clockwise form the upper left of the case.
Advancing the date
Thanks for the reply -- I did have the watchmaker set the correct date in the four year cycle but am hoping that the pushers can be used to set the date forward. Best, Gary G

Good advice
Thanks, Alkiro -- I did send a message to my contact at the Geneva Salon but have not heard back yet. Can you suggest an alternative email address for direct contact at PP? Best, Gary
Absolutely Gary
I just sent you a PM. Please let me know if you well receive it as I know I have some problems with my PMs. Best wishes Alkiro
Have you thought to contact Patek directly?
I would think you have. No doubt a Purist will be able to help, but you might want to do it anyways.
Gary, I cannot answer your questions, but one thing is sure...
this is a master stroke of yours to secure you this watch, a token of knowledge and refined taste. I could admire it for hours, indeed! Congratulations and wear it in excellent health (and pride and joy!)! Magnus
Thanks very much, Magnus!
Any compliment from you with regard to horological taste is to be treasured, and I greatly appreciate these kind thoughts! All the best, Gary
That's a major catch Gary
I'm sorry I can't help you about the setting configuration of this 1526 (if I'm not wrong about the ref) I remember being told by forum members that it should be set by a watchmaker and didn't even know before your post that it had pushers as well and I t...
Thanks, Mark
You are correct -- this is a Ref. 1526 in pink gold. From its valuation, quite under-appreciated by collectors IMHO relative to its importance and beauty -- very pleased to hear that it is your favorite! Best, Gary
