Patek Philippe from Sears?

[2005rivers]

Hello everyone, I have a question about my future mother in-laws Patek. I have yet to see the watch but I do have questions on what I know about it so far. It was her Grandmas watch which was purchased at Sears, in the 40s I believe, Has anyone heard about Sears carring Pateks? It does have a stretch metal band on it, So I can only assume this was a band put on in the 60s or 70s aftermarket. She did have it appraised, I think it came out to be around 3k or something I have no idea what condition it is in. I am sorry I do not have any pics, I will see her tomorrow and will get some pics then. My main interest is that it is from Sears, If anyone has info on what kind of watches Sears carried or any intereting facts that could pertain to this situation would be greatly appreiciated.

All the info I have provided is second hand from my fiance I am not trying to start another "clinton-rolex" thread (if anyone saw that) And I do not have the watch on hand to take a picture of it, sorry
