Patek strap letters (A91 vs C34)..?
Anyone understand the system for these indications? Obviously there’s the large engraved B or D for buckle or deployant. But what do secondary *printed* letter 2numbers combos mean? I thought maybe matte vs shiny or thick vs skinny but by looking at the n...

Not online (to my knowledge)
I have it and A91 is 24x18 mm, tang buckle, flat (non padded) 2.5 mm, shiny alligator with square scales in color 100 which is black. It is for eg ref 5076 in platinum. I could not find the alpha code C34, are you sure it is correct?
Could you check the catalog for A99?
Has anyone ever digities the catlog and uploaded it somewhere? And could you please help me with understand what A99 code is for?
Super helpful.

Just check for 125
You're correct that 125 is for infact Matte Dark Brown. But then I think A99 should have a different color code instead of 125.
