The Reference 5204 Grand Complication wristwatch

is the ﬁrst Patek Philippe split-seconds chronograph

with a perpetual calendar featuring a movement

developed and crafted in its entirety in the manu-

facture’s ateliers. The classic architecture of the

manually wound caliber CHR 29-535 PS Q movement

incorporates a horizontal clutch and two column

wheels. It is endowed with numerous technical

advances and the basic caliber alone features six

patented innovations. The split-seconds mechanism

was largely redesigned and optimized with two

decisive reﬁnements: a new isolator system for

the split-seconds lever and a patented mechanism

that assure the nearly perfect congruence of the

chronograph and split-seconds hands. Many further

innovations boost its rate accuracy, performance,

and long-term reliability. Despite its 182 parts, the

perpetual calendar module has a height of merely

1.65 mm, demonstrating the peerless competence

of Patek Philippe in the domain of grand compli-

cations and exceptional timepieces.

Instructions

WINDING CROWN

The winding crown is used to wind the watch

(position 1) and to set the time (position 2).

WINDING

Your watch has a manually wound movement

which when fully wound has a power reserve

of at least 55 hours. The power reserve may be

affected if the chronograph functions are used

frequently. We recommend that you wind your

watch each day at about the same time, preferably

in the morning (about 25 clockwise turns of the

crown).

Caution: We advise you to wind the watch before you put

it on. This way, you can avoid lateral pressure on the winding

stem, which in the course of the years could damage the

stem tube. Turn the crown gently and uniformly, and stop

as soon as you feel resistance: excessively vigorous winding

could damage the movement.

SETTING THE TIME

To set the time, gently pull out the crown and

move the hands in either direction. Once you

have set the correct time, push the crown home

again. The day/night indicator at 7:30 allows you

to verify whether the time displayed by your

watch is between 6 am and 6 pm (white) or

between 6 pm and 6 am (blue). If you advance

the hands beyond midnight, all calendar displays

will switch to the next day as well. We advise

against moving the hands beyond midnight in the

counterclockwise direction because this would

desynchronize the calendar mechanism. However,

this will not damage the movement.

Caution: Remove the watch from your wrist to adjust

the time. This way, you can avoid lateral pressure on the

winding stem. Please use your ﬁngernails to pull the crown

out and turn it gently between two ﬁngertips.

PERPETUAL CALENDAR

The perpetual calendar indicates the day of the

week, the date, and the month, automatically

taking into account months with 28, 29, 30, and

31 days. It switches directly from September 30 to

October 1 or from February 28 to March 1. In leap

years, it indicates February 29 before switching to

March 1. In addition to the date, day, and month,

the watch also features a leap-year display. The

moon-phase display is highly accurate: it deviates

from the true lunar cycle by merely one day every

122 years. If the watch is wound daily, the perpe-

tual calendar will not require any manual cor-

rections before February 28, 2100; this is a secular

year that by exception omits the 29th of February.

Caution: Please do not perform any calendar or moon-

phase adjustments between 5:30 pm and 2 am. To make

sure your corrections do not interfere with any switching

actions, set the watch to 6 am and observe the color of the

day/night indicator (must be white).

Should your watch have stopped running, please

make sure you wind it before any settings or cor-

rections.

To actuate the correction push pieces, use only the stylus

that was delivered with your watch. The use of any other

tool could damage your timepiece. Make sure you press the

push pieces all the way in with the stylus, and then gently

release them.

The adjustments and corrections must be performed in the

order described below.

1. CORRECTION OF LEAP-YEAR CYCLE AND MONTH

To simultaneously correct these two displays,

actuate the push piece between 12 and 1 o’clock

as often as necessary to display the current year

(4 = leap year; 1 = 1st year after leap year; 2 = 2nd

year after leap year; 3 = 3rd year after leap year) and

the current month. The brochure entitled «Leap

year and full moon calendar» will show you the

current leap-year cycle.

2. CORRECTION OF DATE

To set the date, actuate the correction push piece

between 11 and 12 o’clock as many times as needed

to display the current date.

3. CORRECTION OF DAY OF WEEK

To set the day of the week, actuate the correction

push piece between 10 and 11 o’clock as many

times as needed to display the current day.

4. SETTING / CORRECTING THE MOON PHASE

Each time you press the push piece between 6

and 7 o’clock, the moon-phase display will ad-

vance by one day. Advance the lunar disk until

the full moon appears in the aperture. Consult a

moon-phase calendar (brochure «Leap year and

full moon calendar») or www.patek.com (click

on Collection ›Movements–Complications ›The

moonphase indicator) to see the date of the last

full moon. To set the correct moon phase, press

the push piece as many times as days have elapsed

since the last full moon (including the day of the

correction).

SPLIT-SECONDS CHRONOGRAPH

The two seconds hands are started and stopped by

consecutively pressing the button at 2 o’clock.

To read a lap time without stopping the chrono-

graph, press the button in the crown (split-seconds

button); this will stop the split-seconds hand only.

When you press the split-seconds button anew,

the split-seconds hand will swiftly catch up with

the chronograph hand again. Repeat the process to

obtain further lap time readings.

We advise against running the chronograph per-

manently; this could cause premature wear of the

mechanism.

NORMAL USE

Actuate the button at 2 o’clock: This simulta-

neously starts the chronograph and split-seconds

hands.

Actuate the button in the crown: This stops the

split-seconds hand.

Actuate the button in the crown again: the

split-seconds hand catches up with the chrono-

graph hand.

Actuate the button at 2 o’clock: This stops the

chronograph.

Actuate the button at 4 o’clock to set the super-

imposed chronograph and ﬂy-back hands to zero

(reset).

Caution: Do not reset before the chronograph and split-

seconds hands are superposed. Otherwise, the split-seconds

hand will remain at its last lap time position.

Maintenance

CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN

Your watch is delivered with a certiﬁcate of origin

that indicates the movement and case numbers.

The certiﬁcate is valid only if it is dated, signed by

an Authorized Patek Philippe Retailer, and comple-

ted with your name. It guarantees the authenticity

of your watch and validates your warranty privileges

for a period of two years after the date of sale.

The unique movement and case numbers of each

watch are transcribed into the workshop journals.

With this information, you may have yourself en-

tered in the «Patek Philippe Register of Owners»

and will obtain the International Patek Philippe

Magazine free of charge.

PATEK PHILIPPE SEAL

As an all-encompassing hallmark of quality, the Patek

Philippe Seal applies to the entire watch, including

the movement, case, dial, hands, pushers, strap, and

clasp as well as to all other facets that contribute

to the precision and aesthetic perfection of the

timepiece. It covers the technical, functional, and

aesthetic factors, but also rate accuracy, dependa-

bility, and customer service quality. Additionally, it

reﬂects the maker’s know-how and all other assets

needed for the development, production, and long-

term maintenance of an extraordinary timekeeping

instrument.

QUALITY CONTROL

The movements and completely assembled

watches are subject to a series of technical tests

and visual inspections to verify their rate accu-

racy, power reserve, reliability, water resistance,

and overall appearance. After it was assembled,

your manually wound watch will already have run

for 14 days before leaving the workshops; it fully

complies with the stringent criteria of the Patek

Philippe Seal.

RATE ACCURACY

The rate accuracy of Patek Philippe watches is

veriﬁed in several phases of manufacturing, both

with uncased and fully cased movements. The

ﬁnal test is performed with a wrist motion simula-

tor and the results must conform to the following

Patek Philippe precision benchmarks:

The rate accuracy of calibers with a diameter of 20

mm or larger must range within -3 and +2 seconds

per 24 hours.

The precision of a watch is determined by how

accurately it keeps the time. A watch that is fast

or slow is considered precise if the amount by

which it is fast or slow remains constant. Such

a deviation can be easily corrected. The last test

of accuracy takes place on your wrist. Your tem-

perament or the nature of your physical activi-

ties can cause slight irregularities. Fluctuations

in position, temperature, or air pressure, as well

as vibrations and other factors may also affect its

accuracy.

If you notice that your watch exhibits such ir-

regularities, please do not hesitate to take it to

an Authorized Patek Philippe Retailer or an Au-

thorized Service Center where no effort will be

spared to assure that it is adjusted to meet your

expectations.

WATER RESISTANCE

Your watch is ﬁtted with different types of seals

to protect the movement against the ingress of

dust and moisture and to prevent damage if it

is immersed in water. However, if your watch

receives a blow to the crown or the crystal, its

water resistance may be impaired. Additionally,

we recommend that you prevent direct contact

with water if your watch has a leather strap.

CHANGING THE CASE BACK

Your watch comes with a sapphire-crystal case

back as well as with an interchangeable solid-metal

back. Only qualiﬁed master watchmakers at the

Patek Philippe workshops in Geneva are authorized

to exchange the backs.

SERVICE

We recommend that you have your watch ser-

viced every three to ﬁve years. For this purpose,

we suggest that you bring or send your watch

to an Authorized Patek Philippe Retailer or an

Authorized Service Center. This gives you the

assurance that your watch will be entrusted to

hands of a qualiﬁed Patek Philippe watchmaker

in Geneva.

The watchmaker will completely disassemble the

movement and then clean and inspect all parts

and lubricate them in the reassembly process.

All functions of the watch will also be tested in

detail and the escapement regulated if necessary.

Finally, its rate accuracy will be monitored and

precision-adjusted for a further period of two

weeks.

The entire process may take several weeks because

each watch must undergo a complete series of

tests to fulﬁll the strict quality criteria of Patek

Philippe.

If you have any questions regarding the mainte-

nance of your watch or need the address of the

Authorized Patek Philippe Service Center nearest

you, contact our International Customer Service

department in Geneva, or visit www.patek.com.
