Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 36.5 Yellow Gold / Silver

The lug width of the De Ville ref. 4617.31.02 is exactly 20mm. It is measured from the inner left edge to the inner right edge of the opening between the two metal lugs using a digital caliper. This is an absolute specification of the model due to the lugs being integrated directly into the yellow gold case.

For the De Ville in yellow gold, we primarily recommend bourbon alligator for lasting elegance (5-7 years of wear), vegetable-tanned calf leather to develop natural patina over time, or black shell cordovan for bold formal contrast. All these materials pair beautifully with yellow gold and maintain the aesthetic sobriety that the model requires.

Strap replacement requires a specific tool to remove the spring bars from the integrated lugs. DIY is not recommended on a yellow gold watch: Casati Milano offers custom replacement service with personalized consultation and an 18-month guarantee on the new strap.

Yes, any strap with standard attachments compatible with the 20mm lug width can be fitted to your De Ville. Milano Straps offers an online collection of specialized 20mm straps customizable in leather, color and stitching thread, ready to ship.

A high-quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather strap typically lasts 5-7 years with daily wear. Shell cordovan can extend durability up to 8 years thanks to its more compact structure. Longevity depends on care: avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Casati Milano provides an 18-month guarantee on every bespoke strap produced.
