Warranty and Maintenance

Sphere Patek Philippe Boutique Tokyo also serves as a reception desk for official maintenance. Be sure to understand the warranty that comes with your watch purchase and watch maintenance.

Patek Philippe Warranty

Patek Philippe watches come with a two-year international warranty, during which time you can receive free repairs at any of our authorized service centers worldwide.

The international warranty is proof that your watch has passed Patek Philippe's rigorous inspections. When you purchase a watch, you will be issued with an international warranty certificate.

The international warranty only covers natural internal breakdowns that occur under normal handling. Please note that if the watch requires external work, such as replacing the strap or adjusting or refinishing the bracelet, there may be a charge even if the watch is still within the warranty period.

The need for maintenance

Sphere Patek Philippe Boutique Tokyo

A watch is a precision machine, and over time it will wear out and the oil inside will deteriorate. Continuing to use it like this can cause a malfunction.

To maintain quality and value for as long as possible, it is important to have your watch overhauled every three to five years, regardless of whether it is quartz or mechanical.

During an overhaul, the machine is completely disassembled, cleaned, and then reassembled and adjusted while being lubricated. Parts are also replaced if necessary.

In addition, regular maintenance of the entire watch, such as inspecting and adjusting the internal mechanism and replacing worn straps, will help keep the watch in good condition and allow it to last for a long time.


Sphere Patek Philippe Boutique Tokyo Services

At Patek Philippe, full-scale maintenance such as overhauls is carried out at service centers or the Swiss headquarters, but some services known as quick services can also be performed at Sphere Patek Philippe Boutique Tokyo.

Quick Service

Quick service is a maintenance service that can be completed in a relatively short period of time. The boutique, Sphere Patek Philippe Boutique Tokyo, also offers quick service.

For quartz models, if the model is less than four years old from the date of purchase or the date of the most recent overhaul, the battery will be inspected and replaced, the movement will be inspected, the gaskets and water resistance will be inspected, and the case and bracelet will be lightly cleaned.

Quick services for both quartz and mechanical watches include strap replacement, bracelet link adjustment, and checking for magnetism and accuracy.

As a guideline, maintenance on quartz models should take 10 days to 2 weeks, and other maintenance should take the same day to 3 days.

After-Sales Service

Sphere Patek Philippe Boutique Tokyo keeps track of the purchase date and maintenance history of each watch, and provides after-sales service information to purchasers.

Inspection notices will be sent to customers in the first and second years after purchase, and the condition of the watch will be checked. If necessary, adjustments or overhauls will be carried out at a service center.

Information will also be sent to purchasers who have not had their watch overhauled within four years of purchase.

Service fees

The prices for quick service at Sphere are as follows. All prices include tax.

  • Battery service: 17,600 yen
  • Link removal/attachment/strap processing (cutting/punching holes): 4400 yen
  • Magnetic check and accuracy check: Free

Other overhaul and polishing fees can also be found on the Sphere Patek Philippe Boutique Tokyo website. Please note that if you cancel after requesting a repair estimate, a cancellation fee will be charged.
