Audemars Piguet
CODE 11.59 26393OR.OO.A056KB.01— lug 20mm

The Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 ref. 26393OR.OO.A056KB.01 is fitted with a 20mm lug width strap. This measurement is taken between the two lugs at the strap attachment point using a caliper or millimeter ruler. All 20mm compatible straps available on milanostraps.it are suitable for this model.

For a rose gold case with a guilloché blue dial, the most coherent choices are smooth alligator in midnight blue or dark burgundy, which enhance the color contrasts of the case, or box calf in tobacco brown for a more everyday aesthetic. Vulcanized rubber is a valid alternative for casual use without compromising construction quality.

The strap is removed using a dedicated springbar tool, inserting the tip into the slots on the lugs to compress the spring bars. On this model, caution is recommended given the rose gold finish of the case: it is preferable to use a springbar tool with a nylon or plastic tip to avoid micro-scratches on polished surfaces. If in doubt, the operation can be performed by a watchmaker or at an atelier.

Yes, the CODE 11.59 26393OR.OO.A056KB.01 uses a standard 20mm spring bar attachment, making all aftermarket straps with 20mm lug width and straight ends compatible. Milanostraps.it offers a selection of artisanal straps in various materials, crafted specifically to enhance this type of geometric case.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, usage, and maintenance. A quality alligator strap, used with regular rotation and kept away from excessive water and perspiration, can last 3 to 5 years while maintaining optimal appearance and structure. Box calf develops a natural patina over time that enriches its appearance. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on all manufacturing defects.
