Patek Philippe

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 large...  

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... 

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... 

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

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.

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

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

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 ... 

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.

put another notch on that strap.

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.

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.

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 for the numbers!

Would love to hear some advise on size of deployant. Looking for one for A 37mm 5127, 17cm wrist. Would a 14mm deployant be too small?

I find it add a substantial « classy » touch to the timepiece but also more importantly a level le safety in case the clasp opens too quickly. I am hesitating getting one for my aviator one but just thinking it may not fit it well design wise. Kev
