One point to mention
is that if i remember well i have read (here?) that the spring bars at least supplied with Patek should be of the same metal (or a "softer" one) compared to the watch casing .. So probably the original ones are either in gold or plat not to damage the casing ...
On recent PP they fit them with quick release spring bars which are easy to remove.
5131P
Need some advice: I want to put a leather strap on my 5131P and I don’t have a PP AD in my city. Anybody that knows the procedure step by step? Best regards Fram
1. get in car. 2. drive to reputable watch retailer. 3. enter store
4. ask if the can remove bracelet and replace strap 5. offer to pay.
Can’t be that difficult 😂
And those steps I could figure out myself. But thanks for you insightfulness.
Just order a bespoke one from
C.F., Paris. They also make the straps for Patek. And then order a platinum deployment clasp. If you need help, just contact me. Kari
Removing the bracelet can be quite tricky...
It is easy to damage the case. I do it on my 5960A, for that I use a Spring Bar Plier Remover that allows to un-pin both sides of the spring bar at the same time. See picture attached. With that tool it becomes much easier. ...
