I'd love to see fotos of those different colors which did *not* work so well that you mentioned

I want to learn how to best compliment the Patek 5170R-001 because it seems like the most interesting dress chronograph available today - even though the 5170 is a discontinued reference. Although the Patek Calatravas are excellent dress watches, I believe the 5170R-001 has a delicious, secret complexity which would age so beautifully. I'd like to know, if I one day was blessed enough to acquire one, that I could give it different personalities with the some of the special straps you have mentioned.
Best,
Robert
Post Script: Are these exclusively Patek straps that you fit with the 5170?

Recently warmed up my 5170r, trying this lighter brown python on it and cannot take it off my wrist... something about the little bit of orange in the strap is just harmonizing with the RG / opaline / breguets. Unedited pic: ...
I can imagine

Understand fully what your saying. I have the same with some of my watches. Now I must admit I don’t own a single PP (but fortunately do own a lot of VC’s haha)
Nice nice

Have always been a fan of the boutique edition in your thumbnail. And I agree - its like I try these various combos, and some just really work with a given watch's personality (or really don't). Call me crazy, but have even gotten into mixing oysterflex r...
Ha sometimes I do same

For instance ice got at least 6 different straps for my Overseas: metal, blue leather , blue rubber, brown leather with white stitches, burgundy leather with blue stitches And every strap makes it a different watch
Chap - beautiful colors/textures in your new strap

You really bring out the best in your Patek 5170R. I believe this particular dial color/case metal combination is a lifetime keeper. What are the color/hide straps you currently dedicate to this piece? Also, what colors/hides do you believe you may acquir...
You are correct...

This was a loaner strap off another piece (20x18, had to borrow a buckle), so I'm slacking until I find a 21x16 strap that fully works. I wouldn't say I'm hooked on the python necessarily, but this color hue is just singing with the RG. Perhaps the right ...
Thanks Chap

Yes, the RG settles in nice and comfy with the lighter golden hues of the strap. You are very good at what you do. Best, Robert
Sounds like that will be the making for another day's post...

Very kind of you on the 5170r. And I agree with you on its uniqueness and how it fits into the PP historical lineup, with the 5070 as its stockier predecessor and the new one with retro / almost art deco charm. I really see it as this potentially semi-ico...
That is such a beautiful watch.

Excellent choice of strap. Very appealing, understated and elegant. Thanks for posting!
