???The Patek Philippe Seal vs the Geneva Seal???...
does this mean all PP watches that have the Geneva seal (w/c is 120+ yrs worth) are now extinct and potentially "Exotic"
I just read the article on WatchTime magazine last night as to what happened. Very interesting read, and highly recommended for PP fans
The PP's I own (I feel), are fairly reliable, and I know some people who have very new more exotic PP models that are defective and not working properly w/ 2-3 AD visits for repair and some going back to Switzerland to PP.
So I dont really know what to make of this PP seal vs Geneva seal.
Some PP models dont work and some Roger Dubuis models dont work, whats the difference???????????????? Ego perhaps????????????????
What do you guys think???????????

hi, i read the article in watcquestion h time. it seems to me that for five year patek tried to change the requirments of the geneva seal, i think they wre very mad about Roger Dubuis and Cartier receiving the geneva seal. at the end of the main article b...
Were they really evaluated by an outside source?
Hi, I mean: what was evaluated by an outside source? Certainly nothing about reliability, AFAIK! You have the Geneva Seal requirements in the PP catalogue (not the last one)! have a look! The PP Seal will be much stricter both in decoration and function s...
hi dye it seems to...
hi dye it seems to me that it would be better to have an outside source ie geneva seal check the quality of the patek watches. that is the way is done in medicine. different associations look at our work and rate it ecellent or good whatever. i have not h...
Working Perfectly
I own several Geneva Sealed Pateks, most fifty years or older and they all run FLAWLESSLY. The Geneva seal criteria has been "modified" several times over the years (the last change with some "assistance" from Patek) and traditionally went well beyond "ae...
I wonder...
there are several other great brands that do not have the Geneva seal..... Does it really matter? I have nothing against the Geneva Seal but does it really affect our choice? cheers
