Given the relative lack of usage of this watch over the period since purchase (and assuming it was freshly assembled rather than sitting for some time), then the damaged parts list would indicate this has happened over time, and not as a result of this one incident.
As such, that would tend to suggest this particular watch falls short of Patek's quality levels.

Trust is good control is better.
