Audemars Piguet
CODE 11.59 15212NB.OO.A002KB.01-AB— lug 20mm

The Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 reference 15212NB.OO.A002KB.01-AB is fitted with a strap featuring a 20mm lug width. This is the measurement to consider for any aftermarket replacement: it should be measured at the narrowest point between the lugs, where the strap makes direct contact with the white gold and ceramic case.

For the CODE 11.59 Tourbillon in aventurine and white gold, the smooth alligator strap in midnight blue or anthracite grey is the most coherent choice with the formal register of the AP 2950 caliber. Box-calf leather with polished finishing is an excellent alternative for those who prefer sobriety. Vulcanized rubber with a white gold deployant is suitable for more dynamic daily use.

The CODE 11.59 strap is replaced using standard 20mm springbars, accessible with a fine-tipped springbar tool. The CODE 11.59 lugs have a horn-shaped profile: it is advisable to proceed with caution to avoid scratches on the ceramic or white gold case. In case of doubt, Casati Milano offers the strap replacement service by appointment at the Milan atelier.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm attachment is technically compatible with the CODE 11.59 15212NB.OO.A002KB.01-AB. Milano Straps offers a selection of handcrafted straps in alligator, calf leather, rubber, and nylon custom-made for 20mm lugs, available online or customizable through Casati Milano's bespoke service.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the material, frequency of use, and exposure to sweat and external agents. A quality alligator strap with proper maintenance has an average lifespan of 2-4 years with regular use. Milano Straps guarantees their straps for 18 months against manufacturing defects. To maximize durability, it is advisable to alternate multiple straps and store them away from direct heat sources.
