5212a deployment options

[Aboutderntime]

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone has found a good aftermarket deployment buckle that would be appropriate for a 5212a. I am going to look into the SS option that comes standard with the 5935a, but I imagine it will take some time to come in (if available to order) and will be quite expensive. Looking for comfort and something "reasonably" priced that would be fitting for a Patek. Thanks!

I bought a SS 5935a deployant for my 5212a direct from HSWA. it was in stock at $526 plus shipping in Jan. 2023.

Having asked repeatedly since the 5935a was launched I still haven’t been allowed to purchase the SS deployant for my 5212, currently using one of my spare pt deployants.

Maybe try HSWA directly?

You can get SS deployant clasp direct from Patek for 5212. When I went into the London boutique recently for a new strap, they offered it as an option. I assume all ADs will be able to order you one.

in Southeast East Asia we cannot ask for SS deployant clasp if not purchasing 5935a before. the distributor controls inventory unfortunately.

Russell - call the London Salon. I got one early this year easily - they had a batch of 10 from Geneva and had no issues with me buying one. It was about £500 at the time. They had a previous batch which sold quickly - they told me it was mainly 5212 owners wanting to get a deployant.

I did ask Pragnell Stratford beforehand who fobbed me off and said it might be a year! I'm sure you have an excellent relationship with your AD given your collection but I'd suggest going to the Salon.

The steel deployant is a gamechanger given the price compared to the precious metal variants.

Thanks for the info, I’ll contact the salon.

i am working on obtaining the 5212, and would be keen to find a black strap. a Patek deployant sounds perfect too. I’m in the UK, so i could visit Old Bond Street. what is HSWA?
