Patek Philippe

I went to my AD with the intention to buy it but I really couldn’t get over the bracelet. My main issue is that the bracelet is straight and doesn’t narrow towards the clasp; looks odd. ...  

change it to s strap! Easy fix, right ? Is the green the same as the 5711 green ?

Huge gap between case and strap. Similar but couldn’t confirm that it’s identical.

Comparing to others you own, I don't see when this would get worn anyways.

I think you are absolutely right. 👍

Of that bracelet either. It just looks “Thick” and unsophisticated..Some tailoring would help it out.

Looks a tad old-fashioned and clumsy to me, not on par with case and dial greatness. Cheers Marc

It would have been more high end. This type of bracelet construction is less expensive & complexe to produce, it’s the same link. They were probably trying to save some cost on finishing. Maybe a croco matte black or green instead?

A strap won’t work properly. See my comment on Gordon’s (GLau) post.

This one should, too.

I find the watch itself, and the dial, very alluring. But I agree with you, the bracelet is not on the level of sophistication a 5905 demands. Cheers, Daniel

There’s more to come anyway, and with limited financial means, one has to prioritize.

The only thing new about this piece is the colour of the dial, kind of.

I don't care for this bracelet. I do have the 5960/1A and never changed that bracelet for a strap. I actually like that bracelet a lot.

The WorldTime chrono is unattractive in my eyes. This one is unattractive as well. I'll stick with the other offerings.

I would be keen to see this on a strap.

I fitted a strap to mine, have a little look! [External link eliminated --- FabR]

Good to see that you only purchase the watches that gives you the right feeling. I haven’t been able to see the watch live yet. But I follow the same rule myself never purchase watches before I have tried on my wrist and it feels perfect 👍

Hi Adrian, Happy Hoidays! May I know, where to order the alligator strap? thanks

Found it at Delugs. Tried a green nubuck as well, but end with this alligator

Thanks, Adrian! All Best

But didn’t try it on. I liked the dial very much. But not sure about the bracelet.
