Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81010-26-232-BB6A?
The lug width of the Laureato 81010-26-232-BB6A is 27mm. This measurement is the distance between the two attachment pins located at the ends of the case, where the strap connects. It is essential to order a strap exactly 27mm wide to ensure stable attachment without any play.
Which strap is most suitable for the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81010-26-232-BB6A?
For a Laureato in pink gold and titanium, we recommend cognac alligator or natural shell cordovan. These materials amplify the perception of luxury and develop patina over time, creating aesthetic coherence with the ageing of pink gold. Vegetable-tanned calf leather is a conscientious alternative. We advise against NATO and fabric straps, which undermine the proportional balance of the watch.
How do you change the strap on a Girard-Perregaux Laureato?
The Laureato uses a standard attachment system with quick-release spring bars. Using a dedicated tool (pin remover), gently press the pin inward from the outside, lifting the strap from the case. Position the new strap by aligning it with the attachment holes and reinsert the pins until they click into place. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the case lugs.
Can I use an aftermarket-compatible strap on my Laureato 81010-26-232-BB6A?
Yes, any strap with a 27mm lug width is compatible. However, the quality of construction directly impacts the perception of luxury. High-quality vegetable-tanned or alligator leather straps elevate the user experience; inexpensive pressed leather products betray the constructive value of the Laureato. Milano Straps offers artisanal made-to-measure straps for this model.
How long does a leather strap last on a Laureato worn daily?
A quality alligator or shell cordovan strap, with daily wear, maintains structural and aesthetic integrity for 3-5 years. Durability depends on climate, humidity, and cleaning frequency. Vegetable-tanned leather may last 2-3 years and develops patina more noticeably. Structured rubber has superior durability (5-7 years) but does not develop character over time. Regular maintenance (conditioning) significantly extends strap life.
