Strap for Laureato 38 Automatic Ceramic / Black / Bracelet

The Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81005-32-631-32A is fitted with integrated lugs measuring 24 millimetres. This lug width represents the available space between the two case lugs, determined by the model's design architecture. A 24mm strap ensures perfect alignment without lateral play, preserving the visual harmony of the ceramic case and the functionality of the buckle closure.

For the Laureato in white ceramic, we recommend primarily an alligator strap in black or brown with fine grain, which emphasises the case geometry without competing visually. Alternatively, calf leather with vegetable tanning offers a patina that ages nobly, or FKM rubber for high-activity sports-elegance contexts. The choice depends on intended use: formal occasions suggest alligator, daily versatility favours calf or NATO.

The Laureato is equipped with integrated lugs that are non-removable. Strap replacement requires specialist tools (strap removal tool or lightweight tweezers) and preferably expert assistance, as the lugs require careful handling. We recommend consulting an authorised Girard-Perregaux service centre or a certified watch repair workshop to avoid damage to the ceramic case.

Yes, but only straps with a certified 24-millimetre lug width and attachments conforming to the Laureato's geometry. Quality artisanal aftermarket straps, such as those offered by Milano Straps, guarantee compatibility if specifically manufactured for this width. Always verify with the manufacturer that the strap has been tested on this model to avoid premature wear of the lugs.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on intensity of use, ambient humidity and material quality. A quality artisanal alligator or calf strap typically lasts 4–8 years in daily use, developing a noble patina. Vegetable-tanned leather straps age exceptionally well over time. Regular maintenance (drying after perspiration, conditioning every 6–12 months) significantly extends the strap's useful life.
