Patek 3800 on Leather?

[HaydenM]

Hi all,

I have a Patek 3800 on the way and though I am highly doubtful of its existence I am wondering if anybody knows if a leather strap was ever made for the "mid size" 3800 nautilus? At this moment I am somewhat doubtful from my research but if that is the case does anybody have any idea as to how one could go about getting a link to which the leather would be attached?


Thank-you in advance
HaydenM

@HaydenM The 3800 was never made with a leather strap just on the bracelet. So I'm sure a leather one was never made for it either.

I sadly thought that to be the case. Hopefully the bracelet is good, otherwise I may consider seeing if I could go about getting something custom.

Where did you get the 3800? Those a pretty hard to come by.

I'm going to check them out. A while back I was searching for a 3800 and could not find one. Thanks!

Don't think it's the same quality as the old MBK models, but we'll see how it goes.

I was also looking at those. They are 37mm right?

Even though the markers and hands are not the same as gen it still looks pretty good to me. I have the thin hands for it..I'm going to order the watch today and when I get it I will put the hands on it. Congrats on your pickup!

Yea it's 37mm and the thickness is 8.5mm

But it’s 37mm from ear to ear right? Diagonally it’s 35?
I tried the gen in a couple days back to see the size on my 6.1 inch and it was really small. Can’t pull of the 5711 though ...

Where'd you get thin hands for such a model?

It's an odd design that ends up being a nuisance to measure. I'll get the callipers out when it arrives.

Okay all, a slight and quick update. Unfortunately I've not the time to get out my DSLR today but I will just post these quick pictures. The 3700 is certainly a small watch to all interested. I don't necessarily find this to be a negative but I know that many do.

That size suits you well. Is it really 8.5mm thick? That's the thickness of the gem 5711

I quite like it. I think it will be a more formal watch for me. This rep is exactly 9mm in thickness. Not 8.5 but still nice and thin.

Thanks. I thought 8.5 would be amazing. 9mm is still thin enough to be very elegant though. Wear it in good health

Thank-you very much. Look forward to seeing how it wears.

I have always dwelt around the Rolex forum, but being that 36mm is my preferred size for watches, this model has piqued my curiosity.

May I ask if you have a link to the precise model please?

The dial looks pretty good, actually. As far as I have read here, the main flaws are that the hands are too big? I could live with that, to be honest.

Congratulations on the watch, it looks really nice and sits very nicely on your wrist.
