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.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
