You have to service ...
... that is also a part of being a watch enthusiast.
Even if you never wear it, always keep it in a box still it needs servicing before you use it.
I personally would stretch the interval to seven years.
Some here do even three and a half years.
Regardless how often you wear it: just the loss of oil due to vaporistaion meakes it necessary.
An advice regarding waiting time for it to return: if it is not grand complication send it rather to an authorised servive agent
and you will have it back within a a few weeks.

My 5120
was without service for over 5 years and no problems. Another 3940 without service for 10 years and it was still bloody accurate. Best, Kari
Seven years is a maximum interval for a service
... as the oil is vaporising. That is the real reason for a service, not that the movement is still running. You can go even down to 3,5 years for very important watches. The calibre question: the cal 240 can be wound with a crown with a mere 3 mm (if tha...
Wish to clarify...
I wish to clarify this issue about servicing. Reading many of your post, it gives me a sensing that a watch Patek has to be serviced after x number of years. Does it have to be serviced even if it is keeping good time, after x number if years ? Or Does it...
