No I wasn't there today. I'm just waiting for something which might never arrived

I'm on the wait list for a 5767A. I don't live in France " hegaxonal" so every now and then I send them an email and when I'm in Paris I pay a visit to the boutique.
Someone introduce you to the boutique? Or you just walked in and asked?

Patek service - 10/10, would Patek again :-)

Well, that was fast... As you know last week I noticed my 5167A stopped running. Upon closer inspection the balance wheel was locked in place which meant the watch could not be wound. So today I went to the Paris Salon to get it fixed. I fully expected to...
Thank you! I expected nothing less of Patek

If you are on the list itās already 90% of work done

They wouldnāt have added you if they did not expect to let you have your watch within reasonable timeframe. Just keep at it, gently nudge them from time to time and visit the boutique when you are in Paris, you will get your watch for sure! Regarding your...
Congratulations!

What an excellent turn of events! I have never heard of a technician at a Salon (or any Patek Philippe AD) actually opening up a watch and working on it right there. Thatās really wonderful. When I first read your story, I had assumed that they would send...
At least they would have kept it for a few weeks

I donāt mind them working on it right there, this means I get my watch faster! AFAIK the full service of my 5712 was also done on Paris, not Geneva, and that involved full disassembly and reassembly of the movement. I can imagine for Grand Complication it...
