It's unprecedented for Patek to pre-release details of Baselworld launches. Seems as if these are official pre-releases given that they are also on Hodinkee etc.

IF they did that with a really cool black textile strap with red stitching they would have a hot seller. Why they produce that heinous bracelet I'll never know. Feels incredibly cheap on the wrist.

You have probably never seen or touched the 5960/1A in person. Its bracelet is really a work of art with details that one can appreciate only in flesh. Not to everyone's taste but the quality is definitely there.

Totally agree - the strap from the unique 5004T would be perfect!

Looking forward to a 5960 with strap.
The lugs meant for the bracelet seems longer than what are needed to hold the straps. |

Edit: I should rephrase. I'm not really disagreeing with you in that it's quality. I just don't like the polish. So my comment is rather irrelevant. |

Funny, might be -2mm in size,sans AC ,a strap and a 35k price tag would make this piece hot .

It's not that it isn't well made, it's just that it reminds me of a Breitling or IWC bracelet and I don't want to think of them when I look at my Patek.

It was in holding and trying it that I realized how cheap it felt honestly. AP, Rolex, VC, and even other Patek bracelets (mainly the nautilus line) are just way, way nicer IMHO.
