Happy Birthday Gondolo..!
Treated my Gondolo Calendario to a little present to celebrate its 7th birthday.
The watch came fitted with the 18ct Patek pin-buckle as standard, which I have always felt was penny-pinching by PP. I quickly fitted the strap with a Hirsch gold-plated deployant buckle and wore it that way for seven years. On my last trip to London, I picked up a new 18ct yellow gold Patek Philippe deployant buckle to "complete" my watch. Wasn't cheap, but hey, good old Mastercard, and I think it was worth it! Before, with the Hirsch buckle fitted...    and now...    Now back on my wrist! MW

Looks beautiful Mike! And you sure are the first around here to have experimented with a third party strap on a Patek, very delicious!
