- Service for lifeThrough Palladio · in person
A choice we can defend in person.
We carry Czapek for its finishing, its in-house calibres and the conviction of a 2015 revival by enthusiasts faithful to François Czapek, Patek's partner in 1845. The micro-rotor movement shows openly behind sapphire.
This Passage de Drake Aqua Blue keeps the Antarctique grounded: a dark blue flinqué dial in the registered Stairway to Eternity pattern, its steps shifting with the light, the in-house SXH5 visible behind. On its integrated steel bracelet. A natural first step into the house.
Hand-finished, made to be serviced.
The SXH5 carries 28 jewels, beating at 4 Hz - 28800 VpH.
Servicing is organised through us and the manufacture, and the watch comes back to your wrist — with a loaner in the meantime.

A relationship, not a transaction.
Every watch we sell stays close to us. We organise servicing, source straps, and answer the telephone ourselves — for as long as the watch is yours, and the wrist after that.
When the time comes, we arrange the full service through Czapek, handle the shipping both ways, and put a loaner on your wrist while you wait.
Replacement straps and bracelets at cost, in any material the manufacture offers, fitted in person at the bench.
You speak to Jason — for a warranty question, a service interval, or simply a second opinion — for as long as you own the watch.
When your watch is at service we will put another independent on your wrist, so the wrist is never empty.
Hold it once. Turn it over.
A watch makes more sense in the hand than on a screen — particularly through the sapphire back. Book a viewing at 900 West Hastings St., Vancouver and we will put a loupe in your hand.
