Strap for Prestige Gold 22.5 Triple Row

The exact lug width is 16mm. This dimension is precisely calculated by the manufacturer to maintain the proportional harmony of the 22.50mm case. Any compatible strap must measure 16mm width at the internal insertion point between the lugs.

Alligator represents the most sophisticated choice for this model: natural scales create a textural play that mirrors the champagne dial's refinement. Alternatively, shell cordovan with vegetable tanning offers patina that ages magnificently and creates a captivating colour contrast with the yellow gold case.

Use a spring bar tool to gently depress the elastic pin that holds the strap to the lugs. Remove the strap with fluid movements, then insert the new 16mm strap by aligning the hole with the pin. Always verify that the pin is fully inserted and the strap is securely fastened before wearing the watch.

Yes, absolutely. High-quality aftermarket straps with 16mm width are fully compatible with the L4.226.7.11.6 model. Choose straps crafted from certified natural leather, alligator, or shell cordovan, and verify that the hole is centred to prevent premature wear on the yellow gold lugs.

Durability depends on usage and leather quality. A premium alligator or shell cordovan strap offers 3-5 years of daily wear before requiring replacement. Leather ages by developing patina and flexibility, but mechanical wear accelerates toward the fifth year. Regular maintenance—gentle cleaning and protection from extreme humidity—significantly extends strap longevity.
