What Does the Patek Philippe Seal Guarantee?

The Patek Philippe Seal covers every single aspect of the watch. It covers the movement to the exterior, and even extends to after-sales service. It defines over 65 quality criteria across four main categories:

Movement Performance

It mandates an extreme rate accuracy of no more than -1/+2 seconds per day for mechanical movements – a standard far exceeding typical chronometer certifications. This ensures your Patek Philippe keeps virtually perfect time.

Hand Finishing

The Seal imposes incredibly strict requirements on the manual finishing of every single movement part, adhering to the grand Genevan tradition of haute horlogerie. This means bevelled edges, polished screws, and intricate decorative patterns that are a joy to behold.

Aesthetics and Functionality of the Entire Watch

The Seal applies to the entire finished timepiece, including the case, dial, hands, and complications. It ensures that every element meets Patek Philippe’s exacting standards for quality, function, and beauty.

Lifetime Service Commitment

Perhaps most remarkably, the Patek Philippe Seal guarantees that every watch ever made by the manufacture since 1839 will be serviced and restored. This unprecedented commitment ensures your timepiece can truly be passed down through generations.

The Patek Philippe Seal is more than just a logo; it’s a dynamic promise of enduring quality, precision, and a lifetime of care. It’s the ultimate assurance that you are acquiring a timepiece crafted to the highest possible standards.
