(IWC style) leather strap in 21mm?

Hi fellow Patek owners,
I'm looking for a strap for the 5524 and I have the following requirements but somehow don't know where I can find one (can't find even on Etsy):
1. 21mm (Why is 21mm so rare compared to 20 or 22mm)
2. quick release (I'm surprised so few options are available for QR)
3. Ideally IWC Rivet style
4. In a lighter color (not blue nor black)
5. Ideally has a shorter or customizable (such as 75mm/110mm)

Thank you in advance.

Why not just get an IWC strap then? 22 mm strap will fit 21 mm lugs.

I ordered a couple of custom straps for my 5524 from Camille Fournet. They take forever but the quality is excellent.

This reminds me of putting American Racing wheels on a G-wagon :)

I ordered a 22mm from Amazon today to try it out. I guess 1mm is not a big deal.
