I warned Thierry Stern about deployante failure
Apr 27, 2012,13:29 PM
I have had deployante failure and badly damaged by 3970P which needed a replacement case (5000SF ten years ago), and had several failures on 5960P.
I repeatedly told Patek people and Thierry Stern.
I explained to Patek Paris why I was using a Rousseau strap and Rousseau steel buckle, but they simply wouldn't believe me.
There is a word for people incapable of believing their customers and making the customer pay for design failures: Swiss.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

Have ordered one for the 5205 after I was told that it offered more security and less prone to falling off my wrist. You had me thinking then. Does your concern also apply to the Nautilus bracelet such as 5711/1a or 5726a. Thanks!

You make a superb point. Couldn't agree more with you. What a shame! One can only hope and wish PP will take notice and take steps to rectify the same. Rishad
