Authenticating Ap Royal oak chrono

Got my Ling serviced..
So, I sent my chronomat longitude in for it's first overhaul and refinishing..Set me back about 700 USD. Bear in mind that I sent my watch in probably two to three months ago. I barely wore it, maybe once a month, and now finally I'm wearing it every day at work (banker).

First PP watch - Advice?
I am relatively new to the watch collecting, but like most forum members have referenced the bug catches quickly! I have acquired a number of Rolex, JLC, Panerai, Breitling and Tudor watches, but want to add my first Patek Phillipe to the collection.I am interested in purchasing my first Patek Philippe watch, but want to keep under a $30k budget.
