Audemars Piguet
CODE 11.59 15210OR.OO.A099CR.01— lug 20mm

The lug width of the CODE 11.59 15210OR.OO.A099CR.01 is 20mm. To verify on your own watch, it is recommended to measure with a caliper the internal distance between the two lugs, in direct contact with the rose gold case.

For the CODE 11.59 in rose gold, an alligator strap with matte finish and symmetrical belly grain is the choice most consistent with Audemars Piguet's haute horlogerie positioning. Alternatively, a cognac or burgundy box-grain calf leather enhances the chromatic warmth of the rose gold. For more sporty use, vulcanized rubber is a functionally and aesthetically balanced solution.

The CODE 11.59 strap is removed using a dedicated lever tool, inserting the tip into the spring bar housings positioned between the lugs. It is recommended to work on a soft surface to protect the rose gold surfaces and to entrust the task to a qualified watchmaker if you lack experience with spring bars on precious cases.

Yes, all straps with a 20mm lug width are compatible with the CODE 11.59 15210OR.OO.A099CR.01, provided that the ends are cut to fit correctly with the curved shape of the lugs. Milano Straps offers a selection of handcrafted 20mm straps, with the option of bespoke customization through the Casati Milano atelier.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, frequency of use, and care over time. A quality alligator strap, with regular but not daily use, maintains structural and aesthetic integrity for 3-5 years. Prolonged exposure to sweat and humidity accelerates degradation: it is recommended to avoid water contact and to keep the strap dry. Milano Straps guarantees its straps for 18 months against manufacturing defects.
