Strap for CODE 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph White Gold / Ceramic

A standard straight-lug strap is not compatible with this model: the lugs are an integral part of the case's architectural design and follow a proprietary geometry. A bespoke strap, however, is entirely possible — built directly on the watch by the atelier <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, starting from a manual measurement of the actual lug geometry. The result fits with the same formal coherence as the original bracelet.

The process begins in the atelier with the craftsman taking direct measurements from the client's physical watch. From that real geometry — not a generic template — the strap is constructed, with the client choosing leather, finish, thickness, keeper and buckle at every stage. Every step is manual and focused on that specific piece: there is no serial production, only a tailored commission.

Matte black or anthracite alligator is the most coherent choice alongside the black ceramic: the natural grain adds texture without competing with the chromatic dialogue of the materials. For those who wish to engage with the white gold, a glossy black alligator introduces a play of reflections that responds to the metallic light of the case. A midnight blue box-grain calf leather offers a distinguished alternative, introducing controlled chromatic tension with restraint.

A strap built from first-quality leathers, silk or resistant nylon stitching, and a noble metal buckle can accompany the watch for many years, provided basic care is observed: avoid prolonged contact with water, intense humidity and direct perfume. The patina that develops over time — particularly on matte alligator or box-grain calf — is part of the piece's aesthetic value, not a sign of deterioration. A well-made strap ages with dignity.

The AP 2952 calibre integrates three high-level complications in a single manufacture movement: a flyback chronograph with column wheel, ensuring precise sequence management and instant return of the chronograph hand, and a tourbillon with escapement, compensating for the effects of gravity on the regularity of the balance wheel. The coexistence of these complications in a movement readable from the dial — without sacrificing clarity — is a design challenge that very few calibres in the world address with comparable results.
