Totally agree - PP offer(ed) a wide range of coloured rubber straps to previous generation of aquanaut. The profit margin should be rather high given the price point, so why not do it for the latest generation

I called into the London Patek Salon last week and asks about the green straps.
Firstly I was told that the strap was originally fitted to a limited model. But that the traditional black one and the brown strap were available at £180.00 each. When I pushed on the availability of the green one, the staff member said that they could send a request to Geneva, but that it may get turned down.

Tony, just tell them to simply order the product code I´ve posted on page 1 of this thread. The green strap is officially listed in the PP catalogue.

Wow that blue strap looks fantastic. If/when the ADs start selling those, I'm in!

We know the product code for the green khaki strap is H970.1202.VT. What is the product code for the black strap? What does the code "C09" underneath the black strap represent?

I haven't had much luck. As for the green one - its simply a matter of quoting the product code. It may be easier to get this ordered from an AD rather than the PP Salon. |

The new blue strap from the 5168G fits the 5167.

This is a watch that did not look good to me in photographs, was even worse in person, a real Emperor's new clothes. A green or coloured strap has done nothing to elevate this dismal design.

I personally think it looks really classy like it's not a bright green so much so they call it khaki and not green it goes superbly with a grey suit for example.

Prefer black but it’s def an option to have and well worth the few hundred bucks if sourceable

Thats because PP is no longer accepting orders for that strap. No AD is going to be of any help either

pretty sure they will sell you one if you own a green aquanaut. Otherwise PP cant really promise to restore every watch they have ever made. Thats 1/2 of the watch right there and a black strap isnt really a substitution. It seems like a Rolex move in not allowing modifications they dont want, like how you cant order a glide lock clasp for a GMT.

Baller! I think the green would be much much more though. I wish you hadn’t said that now I want a 5168 Quote:
Good luck
