In this insightful post, jlc.thomsen shares his journey of transforming his Patek Philippe 5960/1A by pairing it with a stainless steel buckle and a unique textile-textured strap, originally from the 5373P. His personal quest for the perfect combination highlights the nuanced world of Patek Philippe customization and the profound impact a strap change can have on a watch's aesthetic and wearer experience. This discussion explores the subtle yet significant details that elevate a timepiece from 'fantastic' to 'sublime.'




Fantastic watch, well paired with the strap...well done!!
What I love on this reference is the framed apertures for all the calendar functions
Is the strap blue or black?
What I dislike about bracelet pieces is that when switching to a strap it leaves a bit of a gap between the case and strap…I can’t stand the gap showing my wrist, but it looks fine when I see on others. It’s probably just in my head.
It’s black calf skin with textile texture.
Have a great week end!
