The Geneva Seal mainly demonstrates the finishing and decoration of the watch’s movement, the precision test is however optional. The watch case, straps, buckles, and many other things are not considered in the Geneva Seal. Patek Philippe manufactures every part and piece of a watch, they have control over everything that goes in a watch. They value the finishing and decorations as well as time-keeping precision. Hence, they came up with the idea of this seal which doesn’t only mark the quality of the movement but of the entire watch, giving the customer the satisfaction of owning a timepiece.

The Patek Philippe Seal maintains the highest standard of watch precision and finish. They inspect their timepieces very closely. All the watches have set ranges of a few seconds; some have 4 seconds, 6 seconds or some even have 3 seconds range window per 24 hours; to be called precise. To accomplish this massive work of prestige, Patek Philippe has set up different entities. They inspect every aspect of a watch from the watch strap, its movement, the time-keeping precision, and the decorations done on the watch, especially when it is the tourbillon.
