Our friend Fabrizio and I have been exchanging ideas for a strap change for this one.

The pearl will certainly match this particular piece! This stingray variant is not for all watches, and I think it was made for the 5088P!

When will you reveal

This timepiece is just love at first sight ! I was about to suggest you a dark purple alligator strap for this one but Iโ€™ve just seen in the comments that you already got it in mind ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป Thx for sharing and keep us posted !

Welcome to my forum Sir! Indeed a truly stunning Rare Handcraft piece, among my big all-time favorites specifically when it comes to the "hand engraving" technique! :-)

In case you are interested in acquiring one for your personal collection, this beauty is still in the current Calatrava catalog....but after nearly eight straight years, I wouldn't be "surprised" to see its retirement soon! Cheers. ...  

Your forum is awesome!

And yes it wonโ€™t probably last for long but curious about their next ยซย arty classyย ยป. Also I think the golden ellipse version (5738/51G) is exquisite and might fit better on my wrist ๐Ÿค” but the Calatrava is just perfect on yours ! Once again thank you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป ... 

Many thanks, I'm really glad the Golden Ellipse has been having a remarkable success in recent years, especially since it started to be featured in the Rare Handcraft catalog in 2018! :-)

The 5738/51G is indeed another beauty, and is the current version we have in regular production. It succeeds the 5738/50P, the gorgeous limited edition (in Platinum) released four years ago to commemorate the 50 years of the GE line Also very interesting,... 

Thank you
