Strap for Paris Royal Yellow Gold / Black Strap

The Pequignet Paris Royal 9001438CN features a lug width of 20mm. This measurement is standard for the 41mm case and is essential for selecting replacement or bespoke straps. It is important to verify not only the nominal width but also the depth of the lug seat and attachment type, as the Paris Royal utilises integrated lugs that require millimetre-perfect calibration.

For the yellow gold Paris Royal 9001438CN, the ideal strap is black or cognac alligator, which complements the case's formal elegance and develops a dignified patina over time. As a sustainable and versatile alternative, vegetable-tanned calf leather in brown or honey tones offers excellent aesthetic balance. For more casual wear, grey-anthracite NATO and rubber straps provide practicality without compromising refinement.

Strap replacement requires the use of a spring bar tool to extract the integrated lugs from their seats. Unlike straps with removable bars, the Paris Royal's lugs are soldered to the case: the operation must be performed with extreme care to avoid damaging the surface finish. We recommend having the work carried out by a specialist or at Casati Milano, our bespoke atelier by appointment, which ensures millimetre-perfect calibration.

Yes, you can use an aftermarket strap compatible with the 20mm lug width, provided it is crafted from certified quality materials by artisans who understand the Paris Royal's construction specifications. milanostraps.it offers customisable straps in leather, NATO, and rubber, all compatible with your 9001438CN. However, we recommend always verifying the total strap length and lug seat depth relative to your specific case.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) lasts an average of 3–5 years with daily wear, provided it is properly maintained. Longevity depends on humidity exposure, cleaning frequency, and intensity of use. Rubber and NATO straps offer greater longevity (5–8 years) but still require regular maintenance. The patina that develops in the first 6–12 months is natural and represents the aesthetic evolution of the material, not a defect.
