Strap for Nautilus 7010 Rose Gold - Diamond / Purple

No. The bracelet is integrated directly into the rose gold case: there is no conventional lug to attach a standard strap. The attachment is proprietary, conceived by Genta as an inseparable part of the design. That is precisely why I work only bespoke, building the attachment directly on the watch at the atelier.

Everything goes through <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment at Via XX Settembre 15 in Milan. I bring the watch to the bench and take measurements directly from the case — no templates, no guesswork. I shape every connector by hand until the transition between leather and rose gold is as seamless as it should be.

On a feminine Nautilus in rose gold, my choice is natural Barenia. It has a buttery warmth that works beautifully with the tone of the gold, and it ages developing a living patina that no other leather can match. It tells time without making a fuss about it — much like this watch.

With reasonable care — keeping it away from prolonged water exposure, conditioning the leather every few months — a well-crafted strap easily lasts five, even eight years. Barenia in particular does not deteriorate: it transforms. Signs of wear become character, not flaws.

Gérald Genta designed it in 1976, drawing inspiration from a ship's porthole. The octagonal case with integrated ears was not decoration — it was structure, function, and identity all at once. I have seen decades of trends come and go at the bench, and that design has never needed updating. That is rare.
