Vintage Patek Philippe on Tourbe Brune Alligator:
Vintage Patek Philippe on Tourbe Brune Alligator – Hi strap lovers, I’m very happy to share these photos I took of Eric’s 1970s vintage 18K gold Patek Philippe Gondolo Ref. 3572 in yellow gold paired with Tourbe Brune Alligator watch strap. This strap is very thin and minimalist strap with no stitching which gives it a very clean finish. However, just because it’s very thin does not mean that it can’t be very strong, which is why I’ve given this strap like all our ultra-thin straps a vegetable-tanned Kangaroo leather mid-layer (this is commonly considered the world’s strongest leather). I wanted to give Eric a super cool lining, so I opted for our exclusive SuperMatte Teju Lizard which is both very soft on the wrist and super moisture repellent (essentially waterproof) and just look very cool as well. Overall I think this project turned our really great and I’m looking forward to seeing Eric’s reaction.
