FAQ
What is the lug width of the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 26665OR.OO.D349CR.01?
Reference 26665OR.OO.D349CR.01 is fitted with a 20mm lug width strap. This is the native measurement designed by Audemars Piguet for this model. To verify, measure with calipers the internal distance between the two lugs at the case base: the correct value is 20mm.
What is the best strap for the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 26665OR.OO.D349CR.01?
For an 18k rose gold case with tourbillon, smooth alligator Mississippiensis leather is the most appropriate choice: the fine grain on the belly enhances the case finishing without overpowering the dial complexity. Alternatively, box-calf offers everyday durability, while vulcanized rubber is ideal for less formal contexts.
How do you change the strap on the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 26665OR.OO.D349CR.01?
Replacement is performed via spring bars that secure the strap to the case lugs. Using a flat-tip tool or angled screwdriver, compress the ends of the spring bar to disengage it from the lug. The operation is reversible and requires no movement intervention. It is advisable to work on a soft surface to prevent scratching the rose gold case.
Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the CODE 11.59 26665OR.OO.D349CR.01?
Yes, 20mm aftermarket straps with standard terminals are compatible with the 26665OR.OO.D349CR.01. Milano Straps offers a selection of 20mm artisanal straps crafted from premium leather with steel or rose gold PVD buckles, designed to respect the geometry of original Audemars Piguet lugs.
How long does a leather strap last on an Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59?
The lifespan of a leather strap depends on leather quality, frequency of use, and exposure to moisture and perspiration. A high-quality alligator strap, used with rotation and kept away from water, maintains structural and aesthetic integrity for 3-5 years.
