This is the answer I got from Patek when inquired about the same strap:

“Hello
You probably mean the blue on the 5172G
It is our code 261 Blue Calf. Please note that it is actually darker than the photo depicts.
This strap to fit the 5524G would be a custom order. It would take about 16 weeks and is $389.00“

Why would it not fit the original buckle if it’s a custom order? I’d assume they’ll make it exactly the same size as original strap, no?
