Audemars Piguet
CODE 11.59 26393BC.OO.A321CR.01— lug 20mm

The Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 reference 26393BC.OO.A321CR.01 features a strap with a 20 mm lug width. This measurement is taken internally between the two lugs of the case using a calibrated ruler. It is essential to respect this exact width to avoid lateral pressure on the white gold case.

For the CODE 11.59 in white gold, an alligator Mississippiensis strap in slate gray, midnight blue, or black with silver stitching is the most coherent choice with the haute horlogerie aesthetic of the AP 4401 caliber. Smooth calf leather in havana or cognac is a warm and elegant alternative. For sports contexts, fine-grained vulcanized rubber preserves the flyback chronograph vocation.

The CODE 11.59 strap is secured via standard 20 mm spring bars. For replacement, use a fine-tipped springbar tool, inserted into the lug slot to compress the bar and remove the strap. On a white gold case, it is recommended to protect the surface with a soft cloth during the operation and to entrust the task to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier to avoid scratches.

Yes. Any strap with a 20 mm lug width and standard spring bars is compatible with the CODE 11.59 26393BC.OO.A321CR.01. On milanostraps.it you will find a selection of handcrafted 20 mm straps in alligator, calf, NATO, and rubber, produced by Casati Milano, calibrated to fit perfectly into the lugs of this model without modifications.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the leather, the craftsmanship, and daily use. A high-quality alligator strap, with refined edges and hand-stitched seams, can last 3 to 5 years with regular use if kept away from moisture and sweat. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on manufacturing defects and recommends rotating the strap with at least one spare to extend its lifespan.
