Patek 5146 leather strap
Hi, good morning to all! We just recently purchased a pair of 5146 (both G and J) for me and my fiancee. However, she likes to get a more feminine strap for hers (5146J) because the strap that comes with it is for men.
Can anyone suggest a reputable leather strap store that ships internationally (specifically shipping to the Philippines)? I too am looking for a black leather strap because I am more fond of black than brown. The dealer we bought it from won't allow us to change the strap sadly. :( I tried a recommended shop online named visconti milano but I had a hard time figuring out the measurements since I am only familiar with the lug measurement which is 20mm. Thank you very much! :) |

Camille Fournet make straps for Patek, you can order from them.
https://www.camillefournet.com/en/ Did you buy from an AD? Normally ADs allow strap changes |

Your AD is full of BS.......
Go find another AD....... If I were to buy 2 5146 (me & for my wife) my AD would be more then happy to provide me a free Patek strap any color of my choice....... As for more feminine strap for your wife I would look into Patek 4947 OEM strap options......

Really? Damn, didn't know that. They said they couldn't replace the strap. Anyway, I like the original strap (dark brown) and I will definitely use it. It is just that I like to use black more often :)
I will go check the suggestions you guys mentioned, hope to get more options! :) Thank you very much! |

Have you think about getting the 5147 strap? My 5147 strap is dark blue and almost black.

Camille Fournet. Email them for advice. Off the top of my head, the 5146 strap is 20mm tapering to 16mm, ogive shape, round profile at 3.5mm. You can make any crazy cool strap you want, nearly any material/color combination, and they ship worldwide. You've got a deployant but you could get a regular buckle on the CF strap that would make changing it back and forth easy. Looking at between $220 to $300+ USD for a really nice strap. Good luck and congrats on the engagement.

Thank you again for the suggestions! I tried customizing at the Camille Fouret website but it seems like they wont ship exotic leather (crocodile) to the Philippines. :(

You could try ABP Concept in Paris, who also have ready made and custom made straps, but they may have the same export restrictions.

Thank you for the suggestion. I was able to ask ABP and they said there are no restrictions when shipping to my country. Looks like I would have to order from them instead of Camille Fournet.

Hey congrats on your purchases, I’m also thinking about 5146P however worried it may wear small. How do you find it and pictures of it alongside other watches you may own for comparison?

Hey, no problem. Here are some shots: By the way, I don’t own the DD41. And the 5146 I got was the white gold/cream face & yellow gold/cream face. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks, that’s very helpful. It’s doesnt look as small as expected. I tried on a perpetual calendar patek 39mm and it was extremely thin and was abit too small however been told the 5146 is much thicker and will bigger too.

Congratulations! I am actually purchasing my first Patek, a 5146g with slate dial this week. It comes with the brown strap and I am planning to purchase a grey strap for it. My AD said it will take about two weeks to order one (I am purchasing this particular watch pre-owned).

I'll add another vote for Camille Fournet over ABP---better end result and much better service/consult.
