IVan..
... my 5146 gold bracelet has been my most worn watch over the past 3 plus years . So to answer your question about how it holds up to scratches and such. Well, for me at least I find the bracelet shows less scratches and marks on this watch than some SS watch bracelets that I own. Maybe its the YG color, I am not sure.
But anyway, when the time comes to have the watch serviced ( maybe i will send it in in a couple or years from now) I am sure that the polishing of the bracelet that will be done by the Service Center at Patek will make it look as good as the day i bought it.
So for me the scratches are not an issue at all.

My first Patek...
I have been looking to add a Patek to my collection for a long time. But being very much a bracelet guy, it really limits my choices. I would prefer a little simple complication on my watches too and so set my sight on the 5712 and 5980. I just cannot get...
Congrats, Goh.
I'm really happy that you found your first PP, my friend. Enjoy it as it ( and you ) deserves! Best, Nicolas
Thank you Nicolas.
And congrats on getting your beloved 5070G too....sad to see your 5712 go. Best, Goh
Yes, but I had to let it go to fund the 5070.
Therefore, if I want to get another Nautilus, it won't be too difficult. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Congratulations
Hi, Congratulations on your purchase. The 5146G wtih slate dial is a watch I particularly appreciate. Cheers Dje
Thanks Jerome,
I read your informative post on the idea of 5146 as an everyday watch too. And I think the grey dial dress down the watch a little, hopefully the gold bracelet can be disguised as a steel one too. Best, Goh
Congratulations, Goh
What a lovely addition to your already very impressive collection. I know how you feel about bracelets, and this seems like a great choice. Enjoy your new PP! respo
Thanks Howard...
This also means that I have to pass up on the 'Pride of Mexico', which I feel would be too big for me after trying a few Offshores again on different occasions. Best, Goh
There is no substitute for making the right choice. :-)
Goh, The 5146 is a perfect watch, in my opinion. And yours on the bracelet is going to make you smile for years to come. I'm very happy for you!
Congrats on the watch. and your choice....
of the bracelet. it is in fact very wearable. I own the same model with the cream dial and you find that it is VERY comfortable as well.. I dress the watch down and I don't ever feel a sense of "bling" in wearing a gold bracelet Patek. This message has be...
Thank you Cool,
I do not have any complain on the bracelet the very moment I tried it on. The creme dial is very nice plus it is more legible too. I went for the slate dial simply because I am partial to darker colours and I feel that it dresses down the watch a little. ...
A fantastic first PP!
Great First Patek Philippe. It looks great, and I'm sure that you'll love the bracelet, the watch will be that much more comfortable to wear during the warmer seasons. Enjoy your watch and tell us more about it after you've broken it in! The 5146G with sl...
Thanks Patrick...
I have always like this piece, but never bothered to try it as I thought the gold bracelet will make it heavy and uncomfortable. Only when I have exhausted the options on the Nautilus, and it really eliminates my only one concern. And I live just a degree...
Congratulations Goh on your new & first Patek............
That is a nice watch to make your entry with. And it's a great everyday wearer.

hi Goh: i have a 5146 1 j that is 3 years old. i ware it every day and i love the way it feels. i think it is easier to take care with the bracelet. as far as scratches it is really not a problem. it is easier to get scratches on the watch itself than on ...
Thank you Jorge
I tried to wear watches on strap many time but it never quite do it for me. So I only consider the ones on bracelet nowadays. Goh
gorgeous 5146 on bracelet
Hi Goh Congrats, this one is also my dream watch, white gold in slate dial, classy but not too flashy. My worry with the gold bracelet is the spider web marks and scratches that it attracts over time. I assume gold bracelet is softer than ss bracelet, and...

Thanks Ivan,
I don't worry too much about the scratches, but of course I try to avoid them as much as possible, and I feel it gives character to the watch. The price different is huge - an top up of exactly SGD 30,000 for 5146/1G, and you get to keep the strap and dep...
