FAQ

What is the lug width of the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 26600OR.OO.D002CR.01?

The lug width of the CODE 11.59 26600OR.OO.D002CR.01 is 20 mm. This is the standard measurement to use when selecting compatible straps, whether online or through bespoke configuration at the atelier.

What is the best strap for the CODE 11.59 26600OR.OO.D002CR.01 in rose gold?

For the rose gold 26600OR.OO.D002CR.01, smooth alligator in burgundy, mahogany, or cognac tones represents the most coherent choice with the haute horlogerie aesthetic of the model. Tobacco brown box-calf is a more casual alternative but equally refined. For sports contexts, dark brown vulcanized rubber offers durability and discretion.

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

The strap is replaced using a fine-tipped spring bar tool, acting on the spring bars housed in the case lugs. Given the complex geometry and value of the timepiece, it is recommended to entrust the work to an experienced watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier to avoid scratches on the rose gold surfaces.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the CODE 11.59 26600OR.OO.D002CR.01?

Yes. Any strap with a 20 mm attachment is technically compatible with the CODE 11.59 26600OR.OO.D002CR.01. For optimal fit on the curved lugs of this model, it is advisable to choose straps with curved ends or opt for bespoke craftsmanship that reproduces the exact profile of the original lug.

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

Durability depends on the leather type and frequency of use. A quality alligator strap, with regular maintenance and rotation with other straps, can last 3 to 5 years while maintaining structure and color. Calf leather tends to develop patina more quickly but wears faster at the buckle and holes. The Casati Milano warranty covers 18 months against manufacturing defects.
