Purchased the 5119j. Need a replacement strap for my small wrist. The Patek rep told me the size is 21/16, but online on most sites I see "20" or even "20.3" for the lug width.
As I don't want to order and it not fit, does anyone know the correct lug width on this reference?
This is exactly my conundrum! Yes, I contacted Patek's main customer service number

and spoke with the manager of the Watchband and Buckle Department at PP based in NYC, who provided that info, but like you I am not finding that online. That's why I thought I'd put out to the forum. I am inclined to go with what the Patek told me directly but I don't see that info anywhere online about this reference.
I can't give you any measurements, all I can say is 'good luck'

Last time I ordered a strap for a PP, the retailer (granted, it was not an AD) had to re-do the strap as measurements were not quite 'industry standard'
This might be a trick from PP to point you towards their official straps
And I would be fine with that but because of the size of my wrist, they don’t stock my size and to custom order, they said it’s 4 to 5 months. Which means I can’t wear my new piece for that long!
turns out...I looked at the CF strap it came with and its 20/16. didn't realize some of the straps, and that brand in particular, include this information. would have prevented this entire inquiry! but there lies the answer
