Your watch is complicated calendar piece, and yes, its highly advisable...
to read the manuals first. There are even more complicated watches outside costing several times the money of your new Patek, and still the owner can break them easily just by setting the time at the 'wrong time'.
That's an inherent part of almost every complicated watch out there, regardless of manufacturer.
I myself have seen broken Grande Complication watches, costing about 1mio CHF, due to movement rust caused by water influx. The owner went diving with it because he had not read in the manual that his precious is has no water tightness whatsoever...

Brand new Nautilus Month stuck!!??
My new 5726 is only a week old, and today on 1st Dec the watch reads Monday 1 Nov !!!! I cannot believe that such an expensive watch has such an important function already faulty. Called Wempe the AD. I have to go into London to have it looked at. Already...
Sorry to hear that, it's not supposed to happen....
for such a watch and the movement should be a mature one. If it was me, I will try to set the calendar (according to manual instructions, of course) to Nov 31st again, then manual adjust the hours forward past midnight to verify the problem. Good luck! Rg...
its not suppose to happen
but it sometimes does so best bet is to have it sent back for checking. alternatively you can try what was suggested but it might happen again.
As this was your first post here ...
it would be nice if you would introduce yourself (briefly). Anyway: Welcome at PuristSPro! When I look at your first two posts I would strongly recommend to read the manual of your watch in detail or even better ask your AD to get it explained in any deta...
Four years ago to the month………….
I suffered the exact same issue with my brand new 5205G Everything changed apart from the month. For once I didn't panic, but instead sat down with the watch and went through several circuits of the month by using the pusher to move on the month. Then, wh...
Taking back to the AD...
topcat Thanks for your great tip. On the end, as this is my first PP watch, I am nervous to go the "diy" route. My AD has asked me to immediately stop wearing the watch and bring it in to be returned to PP. As I have only had the watch for a few days, thi...
30/31st of a month
I can really understand how annoying this feels. A brand new watch not working properly. But reading your issue there MIGHT be an explanation as you own the watch just for a few days before the change of a month with 30 days to the next month. Exactly for...
Shouldn't need to read the manual surely...
... To understand why such an expensive watch is malfunctioning less tan a week after buying it? I have, anyway, read the manual, to understand how to adjust the watch. But it's not intended as diy repair manual. What would people normally do by mean of a...

The AD needed to read the manual!
Wempe Bond Street set the time. And it turns out they did it incorrectly causing the month to stick! Assured by PP that there is no damage. Watch being sent back tomorrow, with a gift from Wempe of a leather strap in a year's time.
With such high value
I can understand your frustration, Truly glad a solution has been made. Feel free to upload some photos of the beauty when she returns.
