Authenticity Guarantee

Quietly Extraordinary. Unequivocally Authentic. Respectfully Serviced.

We offer a Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity.

Every WRISTORIAN vintage Patek Philippe is evaluated with scholarly rigor and presented with measured clarity. Authenticity is not a claim - it is a documented standard we uphold from first inspection to final delivery.

Our assessment mandates originality, correct components, and verifiable provenance. When service has occurred, it is disclosed; when questions remain, they are answered with evidence.

Our Pillars

Evidence-Led Evaluation

Comparative analysis against archival references, period-correct parts, dial typography, and movement signatures.

Transparent Documentation

Macro photography, condition notes, disclosed restorations, and serial/reference corroboration.

Respectful Service

Preservation-first philosophy; movement reliability prioritized without compromising originality or surface integrity.

Our Method

Intake & Provenance

Gather serial/reference, prior service history, and any documentary/chain of custody records when possible.

Physical Examination

Evaluate case architecture, hallmarks, dial surface and printing, handset, and crown; confirm period correctness.

Movement Verification

Inspect movement calibre, signatures, bridges, and finishing.

Photographic Record

Macro documentation of dial, case, movement, and any replaced parts; images archived with reference metadata.

Preservation – Service

Mechanical service as needed with minimal intervention; all replaced components returned to the client.

Final Certification

Prepare authenticity statement and condition summary; package with warranty card and delivery documentation.
