5740g
Similar situation?
Currently I have the 5740G that I waited for almost a year, I had it for the past 9 months wearing it daily, a week ago I left it for 2 days, ran out of power, held it in my hand, unscrewed the crown, wind it up then it came to a halt, couldn’t wind it any more, got stuck, doesn't windup or screw down, but can wind back running well and accurate for a week on a winder, today it stopped Functioning. Not my first Patek, 5711/A, 5960/G, 5130/G 5990/A Any thoughts/ideas much appreciated ? |

Sad, but it is your experience. Send it in for service when you can.

Sorry to hear. Very surprising.... But we know it's watchmaking with high complication so anything can happen.

Sorry to hear that. It is surprising that a watch would have issues within the first year. Especially a watch containing a movement that Patek has been making since 1977. I am also surprised at people’s willingness to give Patek a pass on issues like this. Good luck and stay safe.
