I don’t suppose there’s a fix for this...

Other than a 5-month Patek service. Ugh.

That sucks.. Is your month function stuck in that position or can you still manually push it ahead? Hopefully a quick turn around for that fix

if you bought it through an AD and in warranty, should only be a months wait at most

It won't take nearly that long. It seems like my 5980 with the issue with the sticking date took 4-6 weeks.

Looks like the March is coming out of the aperture, looks like a paranormal Ringu special edition.

Had the same issue with my 5980

Back in two months.

No, didn’t drop it. It just did that while manually adjusting the month with the pusher. Now it stays in that position. Taking it in tomorrow...

They will sort it out. How long, only estimates, but it will return and it should be right.

Ah, the dreaded sticking date. I’m very familiar with this. Will have to be fixed by Patek.

After the issue was fixed, it did not happen again.

Should only take a week or 3 to fix at most. Actually they might be able to fix it while you wait or over a two day NYC holiday for you.

Already spoke to AD who’s going to take care of it and is even sending me a label to ship to them (I live a few hours away). Shout out to DeBoulle in Dallas...

Appears from your description that the pusher has a problem.

Did you try advancing the date past 31 yet?
