Please confirm if updated 5167 clasp can be purchased after the fact?

I want to know if i buy a used 5167a with old style clasp/buckle, if there is somewhere that will sell me the new style clasp without issue

I didn't know the 5167 clasp was updated?

the gold models have a redesigned (gold) clasp that uses springs vs the metal fatigue prone clasp of the 5167A/5164A (steel)

the chrono is the only steel model shown using the updated (not necessarily improved) clasp.

if not original parts available on that model, I don't expect patek will sell it to you.


the original clasp is currently pictured on their website for the 5167A.
