Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81005-11-632-11A?
The lug width of the Laureato 81005-11-632-11A is 24 millimetres. This measurement is determined by the integrated octagonal case geometry and represents the available space between the lugs. When selecting an aftermarket strap, ensure the total width does not exceed 24mm to maintain visual harmony with the original design.
Which strap is best suited to the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81005-11-632-11A?
The Laureato 81005-11-632-11A works exceptionally well with high-quality alligator straps, vegetable-tanned calf leather, or shell cordovan. For formal contexts, alligator with regular grain is the most natural choice; for everyday versatility, soft calf offers the best aesthetic and functional compromise. In summer, a natural vulcanised rubber strap maintains the watch's sporty versatility.
How do you change the strap on a Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81005-11-632-11A?
The Laureato 81005-11-632-11A features fixed bayonet-style lugs. To change the strap, insert a spring bar tool into the lateral spaces of the case, gently push downward to release the metal pin, and slide the old strap out of the lugs. Insert the new strap (ensuring it is 24mm wide) in reverse sequence. If you are inexperienced, contact Casati Milano for professional strap replacement.
Are there compatible aftermarket straps for the Laureato 81005-11-632-11A?
Yes, numerous artisanal quality aftermarket straps are compatible with the Laureato 81005-11-632-11A, provided they respect the 24mm lug width. MilanoStraps.it offers a dedicated selection of 24mm straps in various materials (alligator, calf, rubber, NATO) customisable according to your colour and finish preferences.
What is the lifespan of a leather strap on the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81005-11-632-11A?
An artisanal quality leather strap, such as those offered by MilanoStraps, maintains structural and aesthetic integrity for 4–6 years of daily use, provided proper maintenance. Actual longevity depends on intensity of use, sun exposure, humidity, and tanning method. A vegetable-tanned shell cordovan strap tends to last longer, developing an increasingly refined patina. Alligator, if treated with care, can exceed 6–8 years whilst developing character.
