Pivot repair for a Patek Philippe
An interesting and very delicate pivot repair for a Patek Philippe wristwatch.
An unpleasant surprise was to find one pivot of the escape wheel broken off.
To demonstrate just how miniscule the dimension we see the wheel next to a Euro cent. The pivot to be turn was just 7 hundredths of a millimeter…..the thickness of a strand of hair.
The first step was to produce a sort of cannon extension to be used later on. To the right in the photo one can see the pivot drill.
The wheel chucked in the lathe under the microscope.
A section of the old pivot is removed.
Placement of the cannon extension.
The following sequence of turning the new pivot.
