I called two people I consider gurus of Patek (especially vintage)
now they are not the end all of knowledge but they will forget more
about Patek than I will ever know.

Both agree Patek was never sold at Sears, they both said Patek has always
maintained a very close exclusive distribution chain and Sears wouldn't
be what they wanted imagewise

Cool old Patek, its legit for sure and nice to have the proper box.

I think they are mistaken about where it was purchased, perhaps there was even
a store in the town "Sears Jewelers" with no relation to Sears and Roebuck
BUT who knows, I am VERY intrigued to hear what others say,

PS Another reason I doubt it was purchased at Sears is Sears has NEVER been a store for high end, they have always marketed themselves to the common American working class and Patek never fit into that group
