If this is truly a special order piece then the price certainly doesn’t reflect that...

I had a look at the chrono 24 advert. It appears it is an after market bracelet even though the "trusted seller" claimed it came fitted with a platinum bracelet produced by Patek and documentation that it was made for this watch
As mentioned above the reference number should be 5370/1P if it was a factory fitted bracelet. The certificate states 5370P. In addition if it came with a factory fitted platinum bracelet the certificate should state the bracelet is PLATINE (same as case material) but on this example the the certificate states the bracelet is CUIR (leather strap).
