I would immediately send it back with a video showing the problem.
Regardless whether your watch did behave like this before servicing or not, after servicing it should perform flawlessly 100% of the time. I would make a video clearly showing the problem and send it together with your watch back to HSWA. Frankly, I find this type of poor service very troubling especially coming from Patek. Hope they can remedy it immediately. Good luck next time.
Cheers. Jim
