You are right: 3.0 seems to be the best thickness.
Best, Kari
I have been asked tens of time how to order the strap for 5960/1A
Here are the tricks:
- Between the lugs the strap should be 21.20 mm.
- I use a 16 mm Patek deployment buckle.
- A thickness of 3.5 mm is right
At lugs the strap should be ordered curved and after the pins the strap should be 1 mm longer than standard.
As simple as that!
Best, Kari
Thanks for all these precisions, Kari. I would go for a slightly less thick strap. 3 mm instead of 3, 5 mm. For the rest, top sizes. [nt]

Again, matter of taste.
The original PP 5960P strap is 3.7 mm. But when ordering the strap from CF (who also make Patek straps), the alternatives are 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 mm.

Nico, I checked different straps I have for this watch...

I tried with several watches whose thickness is the same, too. I made the mistake, so now I know... ;) [nt]

It's a bit difficult to order the correct strap if you don't know what the lugs of 5960A require. Happy if this helped. [nt]

thanks again Kari for your kindness and support. I was able to get one from CF.

Today I requested the strap info on the 5969 SS but I found your thread with all the information, no need to reply again. I should hav worked a little harder before asking...Jim
