She’s a real beauty, and as you say incredible rare now!! I was giving the 5227 a much needed clean today, always forget how beautiful this thing really is, I wear it every day to work and maybe I take it for granted!

WatchaholicMallorca 2 Posted November 18, 2018 Don’t see too many of these being uploaded, it’s the latest version and unfortunately it’s extremely thick, sourced it for a family member and he’s chuffed with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godfathar 1 Posted December 1, 2018 this is the undecorated chrono BP V.1 with painted chrono hand to match the gen. @KeNnY you are soooo missed. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bidle 0 Posted December 7, 2018 That looks really amazing,... what was done to it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godfathar 1 Posted December 7, 2018 It's BP v.1 (the thinnest nautilus there was at the time) with MKf dial and hands. As they are far more superior than the BP v.1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DC_ 218 Posted December 16, 2018 Cracked out the 5107 for a rare appearance the other day, looks great on a brown strap... DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_DC_ 218 Posted December 30, 2018 @Glaude reminded me of this piece yesterday so decided to wear it for a change. THIS is what a Nautilus on strap should look like... For all its flaws (of which there are many) this is one of the most solid and quality feeling watches I’ve ever owned, and the gen Patek strap just makes it even better!

DC It's one of those "secret" savings tricks. The only difference being the Patek stamp at the back of the strap. Basically paying for Patek's QC. Camille Fournet is also an OEM supplier of JLC. When I was into PAM (up till 2014), Hirsch was the supplier for OEM PAM straps, including the Asso straps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I know CF are OEM Patek supplier that’s why I use them (chip them an email with you model reference number and they will tell you the specs of the gen strap so you can make sure you order the right thing), just never tried to get a Nautilus strap from them. I’d guess they would do it, just questioning whether it would be any cheaper than a gen off eBay! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just a matter of fitting the connector link (no idea on the correct term) that goes on the strap... Sizing might need some adjustment. It's the same pain the ass thing with the Royal oaks... I think they cost close to a grand on the gens (nuuuuttttts) Anyway, unless it's the gold version of the Nautilus. I don't think the steel models look good on a strap. I'd save that 400-500 bux for another watch, or just count the cash saved FYI, gun to my head, my guess for a custom 5711 strap order would revolve around 300-450 bucks on Camille Fournet. Slightly lower than Patek's retail packaging... Edited January 6, 2019 by Realism Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
