16mm Patek Deployant buckle for my White Gold 5127

Aug 23, 2019,18:30 PM
 

Hello watch people and fellow Patek watch people,

I decided to add the class of a gneuine Patek Philippe deployant buckle to my small collection of 4 Patek pieces.

I had to make a decision of either a 14mm or 16mm buckle.

The 16mm buckle was slighly larger and gives more ooommmph.

I think the 16mm works well considering I am a larger gentleman........ with extra long Patek strap.

Opinions please.

As a smaller-wristed gentleman, I found that long single-fold deployant uncomfortable--I couldn't get it to fit across the bottom of my wrist where it belonged. It will probably work out much better for you! As an aside, I can't help but mention how gorge... 

I only have one PP

and I changed the buckle of my Calatrava for the folding buckle, like you have. Since then I find that the watch is more comfortable, besides the great looks of the buckle. Quite an investment to do that with your collection, but I think it is a good deci... 

I like it!👍🏻

And it makes it easier and safer to put the watch on and off.

Comfort is key

The Patek deployant clasp has always been uncomfortable on my small wrist so I prefer the pin buckle. Saying that the Patek deployant clasp is a beautiful addition to any watch so it if is comfortable on your wrist, it can only be a good thing.

How small is your wrist?

Mine is 6.5 inches and I can have a lot issues with deployants. I think they are geared to larger wrists

We share the same wrist size!! :-)

I recall how uncomfortable the deployant was on the 5575G but Cartier's deployant buckle was ok.

I think it is an outstanding idea and 16 mm is the right size.

Patek deployment is extremely comfy - there are much much worse in the market. However, you need to have a strap of correct length in order to place the clasp correctly. If possible, visit a PP Salon; they will measure your wrist and tell you the correct ... 

Phisted cuffs

A pontiph cannot conduct mass with those wrecked shirt cuffs. The proper shirt cuff frames the watch. Wearing a patek with those cuffs is like framing a Rembrandt in a $9.99 gold plastic frame from gyna.

It’ll soon be time to

Very nice Paul [nt]

No message body

14 would taper too much

in my view. 16mm is perfect. I tried on the 37mm travel time in rose with a 14 mm buckle and it did not work for me. I have the 14mm buckles on my 3796 and 3923, both 30.5 mm and the size is perfect on them.

Looks great

I would do the same. If you don’t mind me asking, can I get a rough price point for a deployant in white gold? I’m looking to switch out a tang buckle as well.

Ask your local PP service center, they'll have exact prices

14mm in WG should be around US$3,000. 16mm a bit more. If you're swapping tang buckle to clasp, you'll need to change the straps too.

Thanks

Thanks for the numbers!
