Strap for Laureato 38 Automatic Stainless Steel / Grey / Alligator

The lug width of the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81005-11-231-11A is 24 millimetres, measured internally between the integrated lugs. This dimension is critical to ensure proper fitment and avoid gaps or excessive tension on the octagonal case architecture.

We recommend vegetable-tanned alligator or shell cordovan, which respect the refined construction of the octagonal case. Vegetable-tanned calf in dark brown tones offers an elegant, practical alternative. For summer wear, a robust cotton NATO or FKM rubber provide functional solutions without aesthetic compromise.

The Laureato 81005-11-231-11A features integrated lugs, meaning the strap does not pass through traditional lugs but attaches directly via pins or deployant clasp. We recommend consulting a professional to avoid case damage. Milano Straps offers compatibility advice and replacement services for this attachment type.

Yes, provided the strap strictly respects the 24-millimetre lug width and your case's attachment system. We recommend selecting premium materials—alligator, cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf—that maintain the original design proportions. Milano Straps supplies custom-compatible straps for this specification.

A quality vegetable-tanned leather strap typically lasts 3–5 years in daily use. Longevity depends on sun exposure, humidity and wear patterns. Periodic protection with natural waxes significantly extends lifespan. Premium materials such as shell cordovan and alligator offer superior durability, lasting 7–10 years.
