help procuring part for Patek


Recommended Posts

i recently broke my patek 5134 by winding a little too vigorously.  heard a click sound and can no longer wind the watch.

it has a 215 PS movement

after dissasembly, i see that the "under" wheel that the crown wheel is attached to (located under the barrel bridge) has a couple of broken teeth.

the wheel has 3 screw holes and a nub in the middle for the crown wheel to attach to.

from my searches on the internet, it appears this part is #421, but i am not sure, wondering if anyone can confirm correct part number

or has any ideas where to procure part.  i will attach a picture showing the part, its the silver part under the highlighted bushing with 3 holes in it.

I have no idea, but you'll hardly find any scrap movements to scavenge for parts on eBay, and Patek probably won't even bother to reply to any questions from a non certified watch repairer. I wouldn't be surprised if your only option will be to send it to Patek and pay for the repair through your nose. Sorry, for being so pessimistic. Anyway, best of luck!

EDIT: You could try to ask cousinsuk.com to source it for you. Searched for cal. 5134 but unfortunately no match...

The 215 is a quite common movement for a Patek Philippe, but as with all expensive watches the replacements are expensive too since they aren't mass produced. 

Here you got one at the bay selling the wheel you ask about, the rest of the parts are out there too.

For the price asked seems like learning how to make (CNC or not) this kind of parts may be a killer business.

Oops, didn't read carefully enough. Thought 5134 was the calibre number. ^_^

Here's a complete list of what CousinsUK have to offer for Patek cal.215 :lol::

sorry meant to say the ebay part doesn't quite match my part.  mine has a round nub in the center like the picture shows, not a square.

though i am now wondering if the square part can be rounded off.....

guess i'm still better off trying to get the right part if i can.

but thats for the crown wheel on top of bridge.  i need the part that is under the bridge that the crown wheel screws into. 

I thought the crown wheel 420 is on the top like this one..

The other part is as the dude states the wheel going under the crown wheel..
Maybe take a shot of how yours look like would help a bit..

here is a better picture of the part, its labeled 4 in the side window

Looks like a interesting video, do you have the link to it saved?
Have you looked if the part nr 4 isn't actually 2 pieces?
The lower which is in contact with the winding pinion might have a upper removable part called a crown wheel core.
I think it used to be called no 423 in other Patek movements. The core usually fitts on the upside the lower crown wheel. It has a bronze bushing fitted to it when the bridge goes into place.

If you look closely at the lower picture you can see it most likely is a two piece part.
Push in the middle of the wheel with some appropiate tool to see if it doesn't split appart.

    • You don't have to use his special tester. Any good multimeter would work.
    • Yes, it looks like GT Revue 30. Doctor, You can not replace escape wheel by the dimensions You listed. One needs to know much more things like number of leaves of the pinion and it's diameter, the position in high of the table and the pinion, the hight between the pivots, the exact pivots diameter... And then, even if suitable wheel is found, one will need to know how to adjust the pallets position correctly. Restoring antique movements is something different than replacing parts. In older movements parts are not interchangeable, this means spare parts do not exist. Here the case is different, but still escapement adjustment will be needed if a wheel from a donor is found. So may be it will be easier to restore the donor for You...Restoring antique movements usually means making of the parts needed and this requires knowlage and working on lathes skill. In this case repivoting of the wheel is the natural solution, but there is a long way that one must walk untill getting ready for such work.
    • I was looking at Essence of Renata, a chemical used a lot for cleaning hairsprings: "Specially prepared solution for degreasing watch and instrument components. Indispensable for degreasing hairsprings." Looking at the MSDS you can see this is just pure n-Heptane, so could be an option for those who don't want to use the chlorocarbons or hexane?     HF6013 - Horological Essence COSHH Safety Data Sheet Horological Essence_0.pdf
