Patek Philippe

When you see genius, only fools do not acknowledge it. Kari, you are a genius! ...  

Is this the same or similar strap that Kari has on his PP? Way better than the bracelet (which I don't like). Best, Volker

Way better!

Actually I thought the bracelet was OK, couldn't imagine the strap would give the watch such a push! Now it is the perfect sport watch, sexy and masculine, and allows easily look at the movement.

I love the combo. Can I ask where is the strap from?

Kari should definitely get some royalties here!

I think i have to do the same with mine.

I have followed this website for a while and never posted yet even though it is now my daily reading! I have just order this PP (my first) and my only concern was the strap. Would love to know where this trap comes from, much better than the original!

i should add that my first love is JLC though ! Reading your posts i think we have this in common (even though my Duometre QL is not among your favourite as it has the cut outs in the front..)

Best, Ahmed ...  

... And I feel won't be the last one. It is great isn't it? It adds a LOT to the watch, I did not expect it so much. Enjoy yours Ahmed!

A year ago and I loved the conversion,So I bought the watch and Kari got me the strap as a present negotiated the clasp for me as well,A friend in need.... Enjoy yours Alex,But yours has one you spot it? Best, Ahmed

Not sure I can spot the difference, yours seem to go deeper between the lugs hence better hiding the embossing?

Best, Ahmed

I kind of like that detail.

Yes, I think that this combination pleases a lot of members here and give a very different look to this reference. Thank you and enjoy it well Alex Best, Mark

Kari should patent this.

You need to invert your strap (switch the top and bottom attachments), because this is a single-blade, fold-UP clasp, not fold down. You'll find it much more comfortable. -Dean

Thanks for the tip.

... Are you tempted my friend?

I like this so much, I have to comment! I was close to pulling the trigger on a 5960 - didn't love the bracelet. Too formal for my lifestyle. Of course, the Boutique sales person highly discouraged the use of any non-PP strap... This makes me think again.... 

This will be your second Patek?

It must be the PuristS version 😉

With the amount of people asking about it..

It brings the watch to another whole level IMO, I am actually surprised, did not expect so much effect.

It takes some grit to buy to see it through this strap version, I think in the end it paid off. My congratulations. P.

Best wishes Alkiro

Thank you for sharing. I'm going to copy you if that is ok? . Did you bolster the top of the strap? I ask because the spring bar holes are far down and out on the lugs. Thanks.

Yes, the strap is made specially for the watch case.

Congrats Alex & encouraging few towards temptation to go for the same. Really fascinating strap with matching red stitching as well. Enjoy to fullest ! Cheers . Gautam

Cannot take it out!

Brings the watch to another level IMO, thanks for watching!

For my personal taste the red colour is too obviously matching the watch and that's not my cup of tea. When I get the watch one day I will look out for something more restrained.

I might experience with a few options in a while, so far I am more than satisfied with this version... Let's call it "Kari's combo“

But I think the carbon-type calf leather adds a dimension to the strap and the overall look is great... Well just the opinion of a happy owner of course, thanks for chipping in! What would you see as option, perhaps keeping the bracelet?

Can you please PM where to get this type of strap? Thanks!
