5726 orange strap has arrived!
The strap, which, apparently, can only be ordered at the Geneva Salon, has, finally, arrived.
I am yet to put it on the watch, will have to take it to the salon in London, most likely. It looks and feels good, and by the looks of it, it is swimmable (feels like it is made of a composite material/rubber), not sure how swimmable the watch is though. Will post more pictures when it is actually attached to the watch. Took about 6 weeks for the strap to be made. They don't post, one has to collect it in person from Geneva. You can nominate a friend, who will collect it for you too.

Nice! Watch is totally swimmable. I owned it for awhile and kept on PP rubber strap it came with. Wore swimming and doing everything with no problems. It’s 120m WR. Looking forward to the pics!

I think those straps are still leather, similar to the new denim style strap. It is essentially embossed leather I believe.

very cool! That will be a fun strap to have on during the summer months (and beyond). The different strap options from patek is amazing and when I think they do not do this that or the other, they surprise me

Oh that is just stunning..... I have a 5726a so am going to need to talk to my AD about this (though I note what you say about only being available via the Geneva salon..).

Swapped the strap. Looks fresh, I think.
Further clarification, the strap is not leather, but composite, hence, can be put in water. Feels very comfortable. Whilst at the salon, tried on a couple of watches: 5968A-001 and 5740/1G-001. 5740 looks and feels great, the dial does not seem to feel overcrowded. Chrono24 has 95 of them at the moment and the cheapest one is 159.950 when the MSRP is 130.190 GBP. And there are many around 170k mark... 5968 is a great watch too and of a good size despite being a chronograph and 42mm.

Quick update!
Today I went to get a couple of straps for my 6119G. First I went to Patek in London. Lead time quoted was 16 weeks. Yes, 16! So, I went to Jean Rousseau and got one on the spot and ordered another one with an approx waiting time of UP TO 2 months. Whilst I was there, I saw some other options, which would work for whom travelling to Geneva is inconvenient, in order to get that orange or any other colour of that design strap for their Nautiluses or as I heard once people say Nautili. The Nautilus straps can be made 100% swimmable. Pictures are below:

Apparently not since the straps are also needed for cold fusion so Patek Geneva made a stupid rule to only be able to order this elusive plastic strap in person and also you need to pick it up. Don’t ask me why?!?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
