I am a new Patek owner!
I have previously owned mostly Rolex, Explorer II, SS Daytona, Rose Gold Ceramic Daytona (chocolate dial), and Cartier Chronograph with the Piguet movement.
I recently purchased a Patek 5712G and love it. I like to customize watches to my taste, for example on the Ceramic Daytona I put a very nice RubberB strap on it. On this Patek I always envisioned it with a Calatrava Cross deployant buckle. The problem I am seeing is that the band is roughly 18mm wide where the holes are and I cannot find a Cross buckle with that width in white gold. Thus my questions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

18mm calatrava cross deployant?
I know the calatrava cross deployant buckle comes in various sizes that measure the width of the strap that slides through it. Most commonly I have seen 14mm. Do they make an 18mm or larger?
the 16mm
why is the 14mm calatrava deployant so much more common than the 16mm? thanks
It´s maybe a matter of time and ...
and availability - smaller watches (old collections) need smaller buckles. I assume you are talking about second market, am I right?
...yes on the second hand market
YG 16mm calatrava cross deployants seems to be quite rare.
YG is not the most popular metal ...
since a few years and the older ones are smaller (watches, buckles ...). For me it is obviously, isn´t it?

no luck
after all my research, unfortunately, there does not appear to be any other deployant buckle that will fit the Nautilus strap. this info came directly from AD. this is unfortunate because i think the classic cross logo would look very nice on this watch. ...
