The issue with third party bracelets in precious metal is one of whether it’s possible to get one in whatever alloy PP uses. They don’t have any weird patented alloy like Lange’s Honey gold, Hublot’s King Gold etc afaik but it might still be difficult to get an exact match. For instance the R tone on the 5711R is not the same as those on R Calatravas. And for G watches you’d have to get a non-rhodiated white gold bracelet with a high % Palladium in the alloy. Where, again, exact composition will vary.

If you want to proceed then take the watch to a reputable specialty goldsmith and have them check exactly what’s up. And I’d go with a vintage-style milanese which fit PP OEM gold spring bars, in order to minimize case contact and also negate most scratch issues since it doesn’t look obvious on mesh.
