Straps for Patek Philippe — Custom-made Italian leather

You can measure the space between the two lugs with a caliper: the standard measurement for most Patek models is 20mm. Alternatively, check the reference on the caseback or the original documentation of your watch. If you're unsure, write to us with the reference and we'll tell you the exact measurement.

For a platinum piece like the 5275P, smooth alligator with a matte or semi-polished finish is the most coherent choice: it holds the tone without overpowering the case. We avoid nubuck or rubber on references at this formal level. crocodile is a valid alternative if you're looking for a more pronounced grain.

Yes, the 5726A has a 21mm lug width on the case side and 18mm on the buckle side: a measurement we work on to order. We can replicate the original stitching or propose variations, choosing the leather together. Lead time is approximately 2-3 weeks.

It depends on use: an alligator strap worn daily lasts on average 18-24 months before showing structural wear. On a watch worn in rotation, it can last 4-5 years. Perspiration is the main wear factor: a rubber strap extends the life of leather ones during summer months.

Yes, we work on thickness and tapering so the original Patek buckle mounts without forcing. If you want to use the original deployant buckle, just let us know before production so we can calibrate the thickness in the closure area. We handle all measurements piece by piece, not from a catalog.
