Service length and frequency

I am considering stepping up and purchasing a 5970. I'm curious about how often the watch needs to be serviced, and typically how long it takes. I'm in the US, and I read that the perpetual calendar watches need to be serviced in Switzerland.

Any advice is appreciated.

I only service watches when they start going wrong and my experience with Patek service times are varied, new models a few months vintage stuff can literally take years.
