The Archice papers will not have the original owner information. And unless you register the watch in your name after purchasing it, Patek won't automatically attach your information to the watch either.

Many Patek owners want discretion and don't always register their watches after purchase.

i would be curious how strict this has become. My AD has put my name and address on every one. Personally i kind of like it, but if i was a flipper i dont know how much i would like my address being visible to whatever random person buys it next.
