Integrated bracelet: measurements, the most common questions, and the way to a made-to-measure strap.
Integrated bracelet
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept 26589TI.GG.D006CA.01 is designed with a bracelet integrated into the case. For a compatible made-to-measure strap, the Casati Milano atelier builds it on your watch.

Frequently asked questions
Can a standard strap be fitted to the Royal Oak Concept 26589TI.GG.D006CA.01?
No. The bracelet is integrated into the case: there is no standard lug to attach an off-the-shelf strap. It is a closed architectural design, conceived as a single unit. The only viable route is to build a bespoke attachment directly on the watch, in the atelier.
How does the bespoke strap service work for this Royal Oak Concept?
I work on this model exclusively through <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment at Via XX Settembre 15 in Milan. I bring the watch to the bench, study every angle of the titanium and ceramic case, and build the attachment millimetre by millimetre. I do not take measurements remotely: for a piece like this, the watch must be in front of me.
Which leather do I recommend for this model?
On a Royal Oak Concept in titanium and ceramic, I choose matte Mississippi alligator. The titanium is cold, industrial, almost brutal in its geometry — matte leather creates a tactile contrast that works without softening the character of the piece. I would avoid glossy leathers: on this case they compete with the material rather than dialogue with it.
How long does a well-made strap last?
A strap built with quality leather and hand-stitched easily lasts five to seven years of regular wear, sometimes longer. The leather ages: it changes colour, takes on the creases of your wrist, and gradually becomes more yours. Care is straightforward — keep it away from prolonged water exposure and condition it occasionally with a natural cream.
What makes the Royal Oak Concept different from other Royal Oak models?
The Concept is not a variant of the classic Royal Oak: it is a laboratory. The titanium and ceramic case with visible bridges is built to show the architecture of the movement, not to conceal it. When I look at it on the bench, I see an object made for someone who wants to understand how the thing works, not just that it works.
