Hi all,

I rencently bought a Patek 5146. As I know, the annual calander can automatically adjusts the date displayed on the timepiece based on 30- and 31-day months to ensure that the correct date is always displayed. This complication requires setting the date once per year, at the end of Februar.

However, My watch won't change the date in November(displayed on 31).

Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated

Here is the photo.

Calendar mechanism is out of sync. I'd bring it back to place of purchase for service, should be a simple adjustment.

Nice looking watch

I had the same issue with my 5205 - same movement.

Before, I contacted my AD, I manually turned the time through several days and then I readjusted the month and the date back to the 30th and adjusted the time to about 11pm and left it for an hour or so to see if it would change itself, which I am please to say it did. I then repeated the process a couple more times. I never had another issue.
Sometimes the mechanism can stick, especially if its a fairly new piece.
Just make sure, that before you do this, that the watch is fully wound.

Sadly, if that doesn't work, then you will have to contact your AD.

Good luck.
