This one and the white gold version are my favorite. I even remember the model number 82172!
this one is my favorite combo for it that you have posted thus far.... Gorgeous all around . Cheers, Filip
Personally for the 82172, I'd buy it in white gold. But that's just me. But my other favorite Tourbillon, the VC 6000T, I'd get in rose gold over white gold (they didn't make a white gold, but at one point they made a platinum version). It changes based on the watch. The Patek Philippe 5110 and 5130 I prefer the platinum, then the rose gold versions, then the yellow gold 5110, and I didn't like the white gold versions as much nor the 5130J. So for me it really depends on the piece. Some pieces I
Can't think of a nicer timepiece!
You even have the curved end, which I love. When you order these straps, do you have to specify that you want a curved end? If so, how do you request the curve to match that of the watch case so precisely? Or do the spring bars take care of that issue? Inquiring minds want to know.😄
In this case I simply team my strap artisans it is for this watch and he knows what to do. If a strap is relatively flexible it is possible to get a normal straight strap and put curved pins on it and it will work but it really depends on the straps. I have two Alcantra strap I had made where I could fit this VC because the material is flexible enough and it works...
