Strap for Villeret Quantieme Perpetuel 8 Jours Red Gold / Enamel / Bracelet

The lug width of the Blancpain Villeret 6659-3631-MMB is 23mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the two lugs (shoulders) of the case where the strap attaches. It is essential to verify this dimension precisely before purchasing an aftermarket strap, as an incorrect measurement compromises both aesthetics and mounting security.

For a rose gold Villeret, we recommend dark brown alligator or shell cordovan. Alligator ensures elegance and durability, with a natural grain that harmonises beautifully with the lustre of the rose gold case. Shell cordovan develops a complex patina over time, creating aesthetic depth that mirrors the noble ageing of the precious metal casing.

Strap replacement requires a dedicated tool to remove the spring bars. Place the watch on a soft surface, locate the small lateral hole on each lug, and use the tool to release the pin tension. Remove the worn strap, insert the spring bars into the new strap, then reinsert and secure the bars to the case lugs. If you are not experienced, consult a professional watchmaker.

Yes, any strap with a 23mm lug width is compatible. Milano Straps offers a curated collection of straps in alligator, shell cordovan, calf leather and other materials, all crafted to measure with 23mm lugs. You can choose from ready-made collections or bespoke commissions at the Casati Milano atelier with complete customisation.

Durability varies depending on material and usage. High-quality alligator withstands 4-6 years of daily wear, thanks to the natural density of the grain. Shell cordovan tends to last slightly less (3-4 years) in conditions of constant humidity, but develops visible character. Vegetable-tanned calf leather requires greater maintenance and typically lasts 2-3 years. All Milano Straps straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
