Why choose a specialist for Patek Philippe repairs?
- Complex movements: Patek Philippe watches have intricate calibres that need specialist knowledge.
- High value: even minor errors in handling or servicing can significantly reduce a watch's worth.
- Parts matter: an experienced watchmaker should source and fit the correct Patek components.
If you are planning to sell your Patek Philippe, a pre-sale service can help maximise its resale value.

Frequently asked questions
Can you repair all Patek Philippe models?
We repair Patek Philippe watches across the collections, from vintage Calatravas to modern complications. Because every model and movement differs, we inspect the watch first, tell you what it needs and quote before any work starts. Send photos and the reference, or bring the watch to Brompton Road.
Is it better to repair at an independent specialist or send it to Patek Philippe?
Both routes exist, and the right one depends on your watch. Patek Philippe's own warranty may not apply to work done elsewhere, so check any warranty first. If the watch is outside warranty, an independent London workshop can quote and explain the work directly. Ask each for a written quote.
How long will a Patek Philippe repair take?
The time depends on what is wrong, the complexity of the movement and whether parts are needed, so we confirm it after inspecting the watch. A simple strap or bracelet job is quicker than a complication repair. Tell us if you have a deadline and we will say what is realistic.
Do you offer a repair warranty?
Warranty terms on repair work are confirmed in writing with your quote, so you know what is covered before you agree to anything. Ask us about the cover for the particular work your Patek Philippe needs when we inspect it.
Can I get a Patek Philippe repair quote online?
You can send photos and the model details through our website for initial guidance. A firm quote for a Patek Philippe repair is given after inspection, because the price depends on what is found when the watch is opened and checked.
