I have to admit, when I saw a post on the interwebs a few months ago about someone wearing his 5960P with a NATO strap, I thought it was rather inspirational... So I had to try it for myself. I hope the original NATO'er considers imitation the highest for...  

If it works, I think it works because...

It's interesting you say it "dresses it down" - I never though the 5960P was a dressy watch to begin with! :) My personal opinion is that with the grey dial and colorful sub dial, the grey 5960P is one of the more casual/sporty watches in Patek's lineup.....

Just kidding of course, but it really changes the look of the watch - and not in a way that I personally would find pleasing. On a plus side, you'll save a bundle on straps!

More so than the looks...

... together in the one post. I have always enjoyed seeing the Patek's worn casually like this. Each new colour combination adds something different to the watch on the wrist. Andrew

Absolutely, Bill.

I think the idea came at a dinner or a lunch. We spoke about the possibility to put a Nato on a 5070, that it would be cool to dress this chrono a bit down. We spoke, but Patrice did it, I have to say. And AFAIK, he was the first one to try this daring co... 

What a wonderful set of pics!

This piece is very classic and it looks so nice with its original croco strap. Thanks for sharing.

Well..

I have to say I am kinda digging the nato on there!

I like! Have plans to do the same

Just ordered a black strap from the local dealer & will order a NATO strap as well. Can't wait!

Not bad at all..
