5990 dial swap

Will patek allow a dial swap for a different color dial?

I would call Henri Stern in NYC to find out. My guess is they never do that.

Doubt it - can’t even get a green or red strap strap for my 5167

They used to accept dial swaps for watches that were in the collection and had been acquired a few years before.

I do not know whether they did this for Nautiluses.

Currently, thes answer is no, except if TS approves it.

Can’t hurt to ask. I would be curious to hear their official response.

I would be very surprised if this was allowed by PP, especially considering the dial provenance noted on the papers
