Camille Fournet on my 5227
The stock glossy PP strap was really a downer and was causing me to not love my 5227.
I switched to a nice matte Camille Fournet strap about a month ago.It is so much better and my love for my 5227 has returned. I highly recommend the switch! |

Unfortunately your photography doesn’t show us much other than what your 5227 looks like!
A few photos in natural light would be of more use. |

You really will not see the difference in the strap other then it's matte and not hard. It really is about comfort.

Two strap shots - the main difference is the comfort!

I found my 5227 uncomfortable. Thought CF made PP straps so wonder why the improvement in comfort

I believe they do as well. The matte finish is softer and flexible , also the holes are in slightly different places.

Glad it brought energy back to the piece for you. About 6 months ago I put a CF on my 5196. I did it only to switch to a brown strap for a more casual look during the summer, but I really loved it, so I've left it on.

Although CF makes OEM Patek straps, they sell them for less at their Paris store without the Patek label. They had quite a selection in their store when I visited them a few months ago.

Cellini and Wempe have a large selection in NYC. I went up to CF in NYC and talked to them for awhile even though that do t sell to the public.

You're not alone. I just swapped out my black glossy strap for a matte brown one last week. -Walked over to Henri Stern in NYC. I love the 5227 even more!

Looks great! Really love how a strap change can totally alter the look of a watch
