Patek - Laser Welding?
Anyone know if Patek does laser welding like Lange does now?

I have heard they do but it depends on the service centre and if they have the equipment. Lange is apparently amazing at their refurbs and the watches leave looking exactly like new, no rounding from polishing or any nonsense like that.

do you have any detail on this? I’ve got a relatively new (~1 year old) patek that I sadly dropped. movement working fine but there’s one really annoying little chip on the case. not crazy but too deep to polish down and it’s driving me crazy. was told by HSWA in nyc that they don’t do laser welding (though granted this was just a phone call and they didn’t see the watch). |

Deep scratches or gouges can be laser-filled. I have had several vintage pieces in for service/restoration and they come back perfect.
