Patek Philippe

Hi, I just wish to check if anyone of you who owns a 5711 had encountered any problems on the said watch left on the watch winder. I own several watch winders wherein I store my watches after use or after winding them so that it will be convenient for me ... 

I had a trouble with the barrel of my 324 and I know several persons with similar problesm (winding efficiency issues or power reserve). I'm not surprised by this sadly. My advice is to fully wind it, wear the watch and check if it runs properly on the wr... 

But the same issue recurs after leaving the 5711 on the winder for more than 2 days. I hate to bring the watch to the AD for checkup as it may entail not getting back immediately after diagnosis. But looks like I may have no choice. Will keep all posted. ... 

Had to send mine to Patek for the same reason.

the same : it stopped after 2 or 3 hours back to Patek (3 weeks) now it works !

I will try to do as suggested, will observe and do the necessary action including sending back to my AD for service. I am just sad that such problem does occur on a Patek. Hope it is nothing serious and that I can claim for service warranty inasmuch as th... 

of course you can claim service warranty ! (I was told it is a problem due to oil...)

I have same problem with my 5980, 5712ss, and 5712r. Now my watch winder is just a show box.

Is this related to all the movement installed in the said model. I never had an issue on my AC and Aquanaut inside the winder.

... did you change the winder to only counterclockwise winding? The movement only winds in this direction. Bidirectional winding won´t give enough power to the watch. With my 5960 and 5146 which basically have the same automatic winding system, I realized... 

That's exactly the same recommendation given to me by my AD yesterday when I visited them. I was told to put my winder to counter clockwise mode as that is how it should be to fully power the reserve of the watch. I told them that I would do so. I was fur... 

The watch stopped on Day3 despite doing the counter clockwise mode and after fully winding the watch. I will observe the watch in the next several days if constant wearing will ensure the watch movement will not stopped. Will make my next move and keep al... 

That my 5711's power reserve on the watch winder is doing fine now. Apart from changing to counter clockwise mode and fully winding the watch by 60 turns, I also changed the battery of the winder to a new one. It's been past 4 days already and the watch i... 

... as long as it's rotated counter clockwise.
