Strap for Laureato 34 Quartz Pink Gold / Diamond / Black / Alligator

The Girard-Perregaux Laureato 80189D52A632-52A features a 21mm lug width. This dimension is specific to the compact 34mm format and should be personally verified with a calliper before ordering any aftermarket strap, as the binding point is critical to maintaining the optical proportions of the original octagonal case.

A cognac alligator or dark brown vegetable-tanned calf represents the most harmonious choices, as the fine grain naturally dialogues with the warm tone of pink gold. However, those prioritising sportiness may opt for a NATO in grey or deep blue, which completely removes the "jewellery" effect and valorises the case geometry.

Changing the strap on the Laureato requires extraction of the spring bars using a specific extraction tool. Extreme caution is advised as the octagonal case features sharp angles that can scratch easily: use extensive felt or silicone protection at the binding points. If uncertain, contact Casati Milano for replacement at the bespoke atelier.

Not necessarily. Although having the correct nominal lug width, some aftermarket spring bars may present different manufacturing tolerances that cause binding or excessive looseness. Always verify compatibility with your trusted watchmaker before purchase; milanostraps.it offers free preliminary consultation.

A quality alligator or calf strap on a daily-worn timepiece lasts 3-5 years before showing appreciable signs of wear. Patina development begins after 6-12 months. Lifespan varies based on climatic conditions, perspiration and maintenance. Technical rubber straps generally last longer (6-8 years) but do not develop patina.
