Thats what they told me in the patek salon in geneva.

They explained to me that this was an additional reason for the price difference between the strap and the bracelet versions: that the case for the bracelet version was actually also requiring some additional steps in the production compared to the strap version.

Granted: that was in 2014, I have since decided to go for a nautilus instead and never looked back since I purchased mine so I have not kept up to date with changes to or specifics of the 5167 model since then.
