Strap for Laureato 42 Automatic Skeleton Pink Gold / Bracelet

The lug width of the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 81015-52-002-52A is 27mm. This measurement is specific to the 42mm version and should be verified by measuring the internal space between the watch lugs. Compatible straps available on Milano Straps are precisely calibrated for this dimension.

For the Laureato 81015-52-002-52A in 18k rose gold, the ideal strap is alligator in cognac or burgundy tone: the geometric pattern of alligator leather echoes the octagonal geometry of the bezel. Alternatively, shell cordovan develops a golden patina that harmonises exceptionally with aged rose gold. For elevated daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf offers initial softness and authentic ageing characteristics.

Changing the strap on the Laureato 81015-52-002-52A requires specific tools: a lug pin remover and nylon hammer. Each lug integrated into the case accommodates a transverse pin: insert the remover into the lateral hole of the case and apply gentle leverage until the pin slides sideways. Unlike modular bracelets, this procedure is delicate, and verification by a specialised jeweller is recommended if you lack experience.

Yes, any strap certified as 27mm is mechanically compatible. However, build quality, tone and weight have significant visual impact on a rose gold watch. Milano Straps exclusively offers artisanal straps in precious leather or certified technical materials, guaranteeing both aesthetic compatibility and long-term durability.

A high-quality artisanal alligator or shell cordovan strap maintains structural integrity for 5-7 years of regular use (4-5 days weekly). Vegetable-tanned calf resists for 3-4 years before replacement is advisable. Longevity depends on frequency of use, sun exposure and humidity. Periodic maintenance (gentle cleaning and conditioning) significantly extends useful life.
