Rolex suddenly delayed some minutes

Some days ago, Rolex delayed some minutes in one day.
it's never happened again.
it never happened in the past.
it has been recently revised.


What may have happened ?
thanks

If I understand you, you checked your watch with different sources at different times and saw a variance, then you wrongly blamed the watch.

If it never happens again, then you can assume you made a mistake, and don't need to worry. If the watch continues to have timekeeping issues, you will want to have it checked out by a watchmaker.

Perhaps there was a warp in the time space continuum.

Agree.

Is it possible you had left it off a cumulative time long enough that the power reserve had run down?

Its happened to me where I could have sworn black and blue that i set the watch and it was all correct only t find the following day that I had set it 10 mins off. Alcohol may or may not have been involved. either way if its fine now then its probably not the watch

Did you move your wrist exactly the same number of times on Days 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5?
