5726A can you buy the straps afterwards?

[kaiserphoenix]

Hi guys so i'm looking at adding the 5726 in SS to my collection and see that there is one with a bracelet and one with a strap. I would have thought that these are interchangeable as they are the same watch. However the AD told me Patek will not sell or fit a strap for example if I bought the bracelet version . Is this true?? Seems odd when the parts exist and it's not like i'm doing some crazy configuration....

Also which one will you guys for?

I own the 5726/1A-010 , the white dial with bracelet, it is gorgeous, I strongly recommend u check it

There's a guy on instagram who has the 5980r-001 which should be on leather strap on the full rose gold bracelet so it must be possible with the 5726 too.
Initially I was going to get the 5726 on leather strap but have gone with a different model. Considering you already have the 5990 going for the leather strap would be a nice point of difference.

I have the 5726 on bracelet. I'm told the end links are different from the strap end links. You'd need to go after market for a strap if you get the bracelet. If you get the strap version, you wouldn't be able to add the bracelet later.

Incredible... As buying a car and having only one type of tire possible..

Yeah i find it so intriguing. Like sure the "end" pieces are different but that can easily be supplied as a set with the strap. But Patek simply does not want to sell it. I just find this so weird. Its just a tiny metal piece. I guess if I want to go strap, then I really have to get the strap version....

Agreed. I am leaning towards the strap.

5726 - grey dial on a strap for casual wearing :)

Pick up one of the other Nautilus with a bracelet :)

Thanks everyone. I already have a 5990 so I think I'm ok on the bracelet front though I very much agree bracelet is indeed awesome.

They don't want to supply endlink so you buy another 50k watch

Had the 5726 on strap, sold it as for me a Naut needs to be on bracelet

Strap all day. Nautilus bracelet is an aesthetic mess.

There are 2 protruding pins inside the endlink of the strap, which I suspect cannot fit on the bracelet version of the watch.

I thought strap 5726 is pm only not available for stainless steel? Please correct if I am mistaken.

There are 3 SS variations, strap, bracelet and 1 white dial on bracelet.

I had one of the first to be released, which was only a strap model. When they released the bracelet model, I went to my AD to order a bracelet. I was also told it would not work because of the end links and Patek would be no help.
