What I'm asked about the Patek Philippe Grand Complications 3970ER-012

What strap size does the Patek Philippe Grand Complications 3970ER-012 take?

The Patek Philippe Grand Complications 3970ER-012 needs 19 mm between the lugs, usually 16 mm at the buckle. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.

Can the strap on the Patek Philippe Grand Complications 3970ER-012 be changed?

Yes. It has spring bars between the lugs: with the right tool the strap comes off in a minute. If you'd rather not risk a scratch, I do it in the workshop.

Can I put a leather strap on the Patek Philippe Grand Complications 3970ER-012?

Yes, in 19 mm leather. On a 36 mm chronograph I like box calf: it holds its shape and carries a substantial case.

Which strap do you recommend for the Patek Philippe Grand Complications 3970ER-012?

A 19 mm box calf. You'll find it ready in the 19 mm collection. If you'd rather have something built on your wrist, the Casati atelier.
