Audemars Piguet watch straps: alligator and fine leathers, made in Milan

There's an Audemars Piguet on the wrist, perhaps a Jules Audemars, perhaps a Code 11.59. The original strap has served its time, or perhaps you simply want to see it in a different leather. In my archive, every Audemars Piguet reference has its own lug width: I know where the lug sits and how the leather needs to bend to follow the case without forcing it.

Why Royal Oak and Jules Audemars need different straps

Two different mechanical worlds coexist in the Audemars Piguet archive, and the strap needs to know the difference. Jules Audemars, Millenary and Classique come with traditional lugs: the case detaches from the bracelet, the attachment is a through pin, and the leather works independently. This is why we keep 112, 56 and 2 models respectively in our archive for these references.

Royal Oak is another story. Genta's integrated bracelet is welded to the case from birth, never designed to be replaced: that's why we only hold 12 references in our archive, those cases where a leather strap makes structural sense, not just aesthetic. On these cases the curve of the lug must be respected to the millimeter, or the strap sits crooked on the wrist.

The three measurements that actually matter are these: 20mm covers 161 models, 18mm another 88, and 19mm a niche of 13 references—often the smaller Millenary or certain vintage Jules Audemars. In this collection we work with one leather only: alligator. Regular scales, patina that darkens with years, a surface that follows the hand of whoever wears it without cracking like cheaper leather would.

Frequently asked questions

What lug size does my Audemars Piguet have?

In the Milano Straps archive, most Audemars Piguet watches have a 20 mm lug width, a good number have 18 mm and a few models have 19 mm. To be sure about yours, look up the model in the watch archive, or send a photo on WhatsApp to the atelier or photograph it on app.milanostraps.it: it recognises it automatically. The ruler placed between the two lugs remains the last resort, never to be used on its own.

Is the Audemars Piguet strap original to the brand?

No, it is not an Audemars Piguet branded piece: it is made to measure by Casati Milano to fit precisely to your watch case. It covers the Jules Audemars, CODE 11.59, Millenary, Royal Oak, Haute Joaillerie, (re)Master and Royal Oak Offshore families. The made-to-measure service can only be booked by appointment on casatimilano.com.

Which leathers are available for an Audemars Piguet leather strap?

In the catalogue you will find calfskin (55 pieces), alligator (33), saffiano (26), suede (16), cordovan (11), lizard (7) and ostrich (2). These are ready-made pieces, with the price shown on each leather's page. You can choose the one you prefer without going through the made-to-measure service.

Is there a rubber Audemars Piguet strap?

No, there is no rubber in the catalogue: the available leathers are calfskin, alligator, saffiano, suede, cordovan, lizard and ostrich. They are all ready-made pieces, finished with hand-sewn saddle stitching in the Milan atelier.

For which Audemars Piguet models can a strap be found on Milano Straps?

The archive covers the Jules Audemars, CODE 11.59, Millenary, Royal Oak, Haute Joaillerie, (re)Master and Royal Oak Offshore families. Look up your model in the watch archive to find the correct lug width, then choose the leather among calfskin, alligator, saffiano, suede, cordovan, lizard or ostrich.
