Although PP wouldn't sell it me, was hoping there were respected 3rd party strap makers

That could engineer a mechanically sound/secure strap for the Patek 5712/1A. I understand the 5712 in gold (R, G) cases is also 8.52mm thick - yet those gold cases feature tasteful leather straps - so I was wondering if the spring bar mechanism in those gold case variants were the same of the spring bar mechanism in the 1A stainless steel case.
Best,
Robert

Various strap vendors offer calf, croc, rubber, etc replacement straps for stainless steel bracelets (eg Rolex Daytona stainless steel), however I can't find a vendor that makes a strap for the Patek 5712/1A. I know the 5712/1A bracelet is beautiful howev...
Appreciate your response

Many thanks for you postulation!

That mechanical explanation is quite plausible, appreciate that you took the time to respond. Best, Robert
I agree - after much research

The stainless steel case doesn't feature the more robust attachment apparatus of the gold cases. Best, Robert
