PATEK and Winders

I recnetly purchased a Wold winder and was wodnering if it is okay to keep my 5960p on the winder for a month while I travel. Is it harder on the movement to be in the position or am I being over crazy?

You will always get the traditional debate. If you services your watches regularly winders won't hurt. Patek themselves told me that.

For any complicated Patek, a winder is a must IMO.
