Audemars Piguet
CODE 11.59 15210CR.OO.A009CR.01— lug 20mm

The Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 15210CR.OO.A009CR.01 is fitted with a strap featuring a 20 mm lug width. This measurement refers to the internal distance between the two lugs of the case and is the dimension to specify when purchasing a compatible strap. The standard taper toward the buckle is 18 mm.

For the 15210CR.OO.A009CR.01, with white gold case and rose gold bezel, the most suitable straps are in cognac brown alligator belly-cut or anthracite gray box calf. Both complement the metallic two-tone design without overpowering it. Alternatively, a smoke gray vulcanized rubber is ideal for sports use while maintaining aesthetic coherence.

The CODE 11.59 strap is removed via the classic spring bars housed in the lugs. A dedicated lever tool or a watchmaker's pricker is sufficient to compress the spring bar ends and slip the strap off. The operation requires no case opening and is reversible. However, it is recommended to entrust the task to a watchmaker to avoid scratches on the gold lugs.

Yes, any strap with a 20 mm lug width is geometrically compatible with the CODE 11.59 15210CR.OO.A009CR.01. Milano Straps offers a selection of artisanal 20 mm straps in various materials and finishes, with a 18 mm taper, designed to be proportionate to the 41 mm case. Casati Milano also produces bespoke custom straps with leather selection in atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, care, and daily use. A quality alligator strap, treated with neutral wax and kept away from moisture, maintains structural and aesthetic integrity for 3-5 years with regular use. Box calf develops a characteristic patina that increases its appeal over time. Casati Milano guarantees its straps for 18 months against manufacturing defects.
