FAQ
What is the lug width of the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 ref. 26394OR.OO.D027KB.01?
The Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 26394OR.OO.D027KB.01 is fitted with a 20 mm lug width on both sides. This measurement is determined using a caliper by measuring the internal distance between the two lugs of the case. All compatible 20 mm straps available on Milano Straps will fit this model without requiring adapters.
What is the best strap for the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 26394OR in rose gold?
For an 18-carat rose gold case with perpetual calendar complication and moon phase, a polished alligator strap in bordeaux or cognac is the most appropriate choice in keeping with haute horlogerie standards. Alternatively, a midnight blue box calf offers everyday elegance and develops distinctive character with patina over time. For more dynamic settings, structured vulcanized rubber provides an interesting contemporary contrast.
How do you change the strap on the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59?
Strap replacement on the CODE 11.59 is performed using standard 20 mm spring bars. It is recommended to use a dedicated spring bar tool with a fine tip to avoid scratching the rose gold lugs. If in doubt, it is best to consult a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier, where strap changes are performed with professional tools and without risk of damaging the case.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 26394OR?
Yes, high-quality 20 mm aftermarket straps are fully compatible with the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 26394OR.OO.D027KB.01. Milano Straps offers a selection of artisan-crafted straps in alligator, calf, NATO, and rubber made to measure for 20 mm lugs, with customizable finishes and stitching. The Casati Milano atelier also produces bespoke straps by appointment, with direct leather selection and tailored craftsmanship.
How long does a leather strap last on an Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material type, daily wear, and care provided. Quality alligator, worn with rotation and kept away from excessive moisture and perspiration, maintains its shape and structure for 2-4 years. Box calf, being more porous, develops rich patina but requires attention to humidity. Casati Milano straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects and are made with selected leathers to maximize longevity.
