Thanks Mike and KIWP
Mike, the strap on the J is called shiny royal blue. The strap on the G I ordered sometime ago. I think it also might've been royal blue. Please note that the color you order and receive may not not be exactly as it is in the book and yes the straps I ordered are listed.
How important is the choice of strap to one's overall enjoyment of a Patek?
For me the answer is VERY! A great strap can enormously improve the look and indeed character of any watch, high end, low end, Patek or other brand. In general, Patek supplied men's straps are black or brown (most common), dark gray or dark blue. Patek do...
Thank you Joepny!
Interestingly when I ordered the strap for the J I thought it would be a darker blue just like the one on the G. At first I was disappointed, but only until I put it on the J. Then I was extremely happy.
Beautiful!
These are beautiful! Are these from the Patek strap catalog? Would like to know the color code and details for the one on the 5131G. Kind Regards, Mike G

Yep I agree...
...even if I remain a bit classical in my originality What do you think? Match or not match? Best, Mike ...
Outstanding!
Thank for sharing this very impressive trio! My personal pick would be the left
Hi Patekova, very colorful combo you presented !
The green for the R is especially interesting because of its matching with the green enamel for the continents. Certainly wearing it must provide an even more dynamic feel ! Possible to provide wrist shots ? Cheers, Gordon
Wow.. Love that green strap!!!
@patekova is that a standard PP strap that can be ordered or is this a bespoke special order from PP? Thank you v much for sharing! That green... Oh la la... Love it!! HAGW.. best regards, Jen.
Totally agreed!
Very tasteful combination! My best combination would be the rose gold. Did you have those custom made at the Geneva salon? Best, G.
Easy to get custom straps gigi - 3 options
Territorial distributor, Salon or Boutique, eg Geneva Salon, or local AD
There is almost a chameleon effect here.....
.....whenever I look at a specific strap, that specific colour seems to become quite dominant within the enamel of that specific watch. I have to say, I would have great difficulty picking which of these combinations I like the most. You have posted these...
Joe, your comments reflect my reaction
To seeing the 3 together in their new clothes. Very difficult to choose an order of preference. For me the J has gone way up. I tried very hard to match the strap to enamel, although I feel in general, that blue goes very well with white metal case and gr...
Very much indeed
Patekova, you emphasized a subject we feel in every related thread is something people appreciate very much. In the mean time, I must say we don't see that much and I didn't go that way either yet! I have one with a bracelet and one with rubber thus not r...
Yes, I also find black dial watches limit the strap choice,
Particularly with a white metal case, but in addition to black, there is black with white stitch (which Patek supplied with many 5070Gs) and a light champagne (often favored by Italian and other collectors). With a rose case a reddish brown can work well....
I love all of the variations BUT
Now .....getting 5131 in any metal is going to be the hard part Enjoy yours in the best of health. Best, Ahmed
Vintage Patek white is perfect to go with a light brown
And modern Patek is can take some fashion style ...
