Strap for 1966 38 Pink Gold / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of the Girard-Perregaux 1966 49525-52-131-52A is 20mm. This is the distance between the lugs on the case, representing the space where the strap attachments fit. This is the standard lug width for high-end 38mm wrist watches.

The ideal strap depends on style and usage. For classical elegance, we recommend alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather in brown or burgundy tones. For modern versatility, a quality NATO strap or natural rubber strap works excellently. The rose gold case pairs naturally with warm palettes and formal contrasts in black or deep blue.

If the model features integrated lugs, strap changes should be performed by a specialised service centre or at the Casati Milano atelier, where personalised solutions can be tailored to your needs. DIY strap changes are not recommended to protect the case and lug pins.

Yes, all high-quality straps with a 20mm lug width are compatible. Milano Straps offers a dedicated collection of straps in leather, NATO, and rubber, crafted to artisanal standards and tested for this category of timepieces.

A quality artisanal leather strap typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use, depending on tanning method and material. Alligator and shell cordovan are more durable; vegetable-tanned calf develops patina over time. Longevity increases if the watch is not exposed to excessive moisture and the strap receives periodic maintenance.
