Shiny Champagne Strap for my 5088p

 
 By: penfriend : May 13th, 2023-16:37
So after royal blue and chocolate brown now the third edition of an original PP strap for my beloved 5088p which turns out to be a strap monster. I know that some here were curious to see the outcome of the champagne strap - I love it as well and believe ...  

Good choice ! 👍

Gives your watch a very different look 👀!

An icon!

Wow! That strap is absolutely perfect on this PP!

Not to mention that fine weather!

It really is a very good match

but this dial works on so many straps I believe, it is always a homerun

please post a pic with the green shaded strap

looks incredible

thanks Fabrizio - still waiting for the roll call ;-)

you should add this for yours as well - sure you will like it on the wrist

That's right, now that the 5088 is no longer available at ADs for new allocations, it could be interesting to start an official roll call along with the various strap choices for it! :-)

It probably won't be able to compete with Keks' epic 5960 thread ( 😂 ), but for this to be a Rare Handcraft, I bet we can reach an important number among our members --- maybe up to 10, inclusive of both versions (5088/100P and the earlier 5088P)?? Please... 

Nice! Classic looking

Is the dial made in house or by the lines of Christian Thibert et al?

I really don't know - maybe Fabrizio knows about the production process

I always assumed in house though tbh

I’d be very curious to know for sure.

I do not know anyone inside the “house” to gain any knowledge of the intricacies of all things RH. If you could, that would be Fab! No pun intended 😁😁. Thank you. I seriously wish we can get more information about these dials some of which are out of this... 

I'll certainly ask this summer and share what I can👍Locations aside, as always I'm not sure which other details it will be possible to make public (e.g., sometimes I myself am not even aware of production numbers, except for the past two years)…

BUT it is a most appealing topic, and I think we can proudly say that, in recent years, our forum has been one of the main online resources on Rare Handcrafts (including our popular live announcements, courtesy of Patek! 😄 ). Hence the more I'll be contin... 

Makes perfect sense. Thank you !
