The Heritage

The Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 Chronograph 26393NR.OO.A002CA.01 features an octagonal case in 18K pink gold and black ceramic, 41.00 mm in diameter, paired with a 20 mm lug width. Presented in 2019, this flyback chronograph is powered by the AP 4401 manufacture movement, integrating column-wheel chronograph with instant restart and date indication. The black lacquered dial with grey counters complements the ceramic elements, while alternating satin and polished surface finishes reflect meticulous hand work from the Le Brassus Manufacture.

FAQ

What is the lug width of the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 26393NR.OO.A002CA.01?

The lug width of the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 26393NR.OO.A002CA.01 is 20 mm. This measurement is taken with a caliper between the two horizontal lugs at the strap attachment point and does not correspond to the external case width of 41 mm. All aftermarket straps of 20 mm with precurved terminals are compatible with this reference.

What is the best strap for the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 26393NR.OO.A002CA.01?

For the CODE 11.59 26393NR.OO.A002CA.01 in rose gold and black ceramic, a black or cognac brown smooth alligator strap represents the choice most consistent with the watch's construction quality. Box calf with patina is a contemporary alternative, while satin vulcanized rubber suits the sporty nature of the flyback chronograph. Casati Milano creates custom straps with precurved terminals for perfect fit.

How do you change the strap on an Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59?

The CODE 11.59 strap is removed via the dedicated springbar attachment pins, using a specialized springbar tool with a fine tip to avoid scratching the rose gold lugs. Since the case features an integrated attachment with shaped terminals, it is essential that the new strap has a precurved end compatible with the case geometry. When in doubt, it is advisable to consult a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

How long does a leather strap last on an Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59?

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material quality, daily use, and exposure to moisture and perspiration. A superior quality alligator strap, with hand-stitched seams and edge treatment, can last 2 to 5 years with regular use. Casati Milano guarantees its straps for 18 months against manufacturing defects and recommends alternating at least two straps to extend their life, preventing moisture buildup in the same friction area.
