FAQ

What is the lug width of the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 26393OR.OO.A028CR.01?

The lug width of the CODE 11.59 ref. 26393OR.OO.A028CR.01 is 20mm. This is the standard lug width adopted by Audemars Piguet across the entire 41mm CODE 11.59 line, ensuring broad compatibility with quality aftermarket straps.

What is the best strap for the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 26393OR.OO.A028CR.01?

For the 18kt rose gold case, smooth alligator in cognac or tobacco tones is the most coherent pairing: the fine grain enhances the case finishing. Black box-calf or navy alligator are elegant alternatives for those seeking a bolder color contrast.

How do you change the strap on the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 26393OR.OO.A028CR.01?

The strap is replaced using a fine-tipped springbar tool to extract the spring bars from the lugs. It is recommended to work on a soft mat to protect the polished case surfaces. If in doubt, the operation can be performed by a watchmaker or at the Casati Milano atelier by appointment.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 26393OR.OO.A028CR.01?

Yes. Any strap with a 20mm lug width and standard tang is compatible with the 26393OR.OO.A028CR.01. On milanostraps.it you will find a selection of artisanal 20mm straps in alligator, calf, rubber and NATO nylon, made with premium materials and also available in bespoke configuration through Casati Milano.

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

Durability depends on the quality of the tanning and daily use. A high-quality alligator or calf strap, with proper care — avoiding prolonged exposure to water and sweat, using leather conditioner — maintains structural and aesthetic integrity between 2 and 5 years. Casati Milano straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
