Patek Philippe

Hello, Steve, ..

 

..welcome to the forum!

Normally Patek's website shouldn't be that problematic and if one follows "watch maintanance" > "extract from the archives" you should be able to see a form to fill in all necessary data - and of course payment instructions

In any case, you'd post some pictures of your watch before, so that we might help you with some info before you "invest" in an extract form the archives.

I've to say it's quite common to describe a pocket watch of higher quality as "oooo h, I'm sure that's Patek....". Not to metion all the slightly diffuse descriptions seen on the famous auction site often titled  "Patek Philippe ????" - thus suggesting it sure is an unsigned marvel of this manufacturer.

To be fair also, one should note that in the 19th century a large number of smaller, but exquisite watchmakers made very similar movements -  often even based on the same raw movements and it's no wonder those sometimes are mistaken as "unsigned Pateks" . Still wonderfull watches, but.....

All above not directed at your specific watch obvioulsy

If you''re not familiar with posting a picture directly, feel free to email your picture and I'll post it for you.

Best regards
Suitbert
