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 ...

I believe it gets more input and higher figure when you kick it off with your reputation ;-)))

Shiny Champagne Strap for my 5088p

Good choice ! 👍

An icon!

Thanks a very sporty feel on this strap. Enjoy the weekend.

Wow! That strap is absolutely perfect on this PP!

It really is a very good match

Looks great, I may have to add this one to my lineup for my 5088

please post a pic with the green shaded strap

Very nice combo, mon ami.

Congrats Nils, this is a more sober but equally exquisite choice to match your 5088! Indeed a real "strap monster," thanks to its natural elegance and the black enamel of the dial! ;-) Cheers.

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

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! :-)

That would guarantee one hundred 5088 owners replying within an hour, and I simply can’t do this to my friend Keks…😂😂❤️

when was it dis-contiuned?

It was *not* on the latest run-out/discontinued list, but I think I can say that -- with the exception of the last few pieces that have already been produced -- it's no longer possible to make new orders of this reference ;-) Hope this answers.

can confirm on that and also wonder how long it will still stay on the website

I was expecting it to be taken off of the website earlier this year, but I really have no input over that. I bet it will be gone soon though ;-) Cheers.

Very bold move .. looks great !

Love this combo, I could see myself wa l wearing it 😜

Nice! Classic looking

Stunning!!

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

Will have to be a world class engraver !

Mr. Thibert is a legend in the world of Rare Handcrafts and specifically hand-engraving, but he retired from Patek over 15 years ago, so all the newer dials are definitely authored by his successors at the Brand :-) Cheers.

PS: I can ask about locations if it makes sense, but I wouldn't be surprised if more work than before is now done 'in situ,' at PP6 -- that was in fact a goal of production in general, and the 4th floor is specifically devoted to Rare Handcrafts👍

I’d be very curious to know for sure.

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)…

Makes perfect sense. Thank you !

👍🥂

Beautiful combo
