Great white up also
Thank you....!!!

Yes it very easy.....

Any Patek Philippe Calatrava will works.....

I think 20mm Calatrava strap will look at it best....

Congrats on a beautiful watch. If I had to choose 1 Aquanaut of all the versions available I would pick yours, no question (for a lot of reasons, but I am not hijacking your thread )

Thank you.....!!!

& Congratulations to you too.....!!!

My wrist size is 7 inch....

I took 2 links off....... One on each side..... Fit like a glove & siting above the wrist bone.....

If you could take off the links by even numbers it would be great and your Calatrava cross clasp will be center.....

But...

If you need to take off the links by odds numbers such as 1 or 3 links, it's best to take off more on the 12 o clock side.....

That way the Calatrava cross clasp will be center as possible.....

Example:

Only 1 link ( 12 o clock side)

3 links (2 links on 12 o clock side and 1 link on 6 0 clock side)

Warning:

Never take off the pins on the clasp or links near the clasp.....

For that reason you may risk the clasp not closing properly and give a ugly gaps on the Calatrava cross clasp.....



Picture sample that I found on the internet that the clasp will not close properly do to remove wrong pins links or using wrong pins and tube....^^^....

VS



The clasp closing properly like my.....^^^....

Hope all the information help.....

Best Regards,
Tony

Wow. First off, phenomenally informative. Thanks for taking the time to write this up with all the great detailed photos! Congrats on the new piece.

Secondly, I've been considering adding another piece on leather. I really love the 67a and wear it almost all the time. Just getting the leather strap might be my next move. I really like the Calatrava deployment clasp as well. Very cool.

Just find out a 21mm leather strap would fit too.....

20mm strap also look fine but leave .05mm gap... If it don't bother you...

Full bracelet links for the 5167/1A will fit 8 inch wrist size.....

2 end links, one on each side
6 permanent links, three on each side
8 removable links, four on each side

Total including the end links & not including the deployant clasp is: 16 links
