FAQ

What is the lug width of the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 6393OR.OO.A056KB.01?

The lug width of the CODE 11.59 6393OR.OO.A056KB.01 is 20 mm. This measurement should be taken internally between the two lugs with a digital caliper, in contact with the case, to ensure precise attachment without lateral play.

What is the best strap for the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 6393OR.OO.A056KB.01?

For this rose gold chronograph reference, a smooth alligator strap — in midnight blue, cognac brown, or polished black — is the most coherent choice with the positioning of the piece. Box calf represents a more everyday alternative, while FKM rubber is ideal for technical or sports use.

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

The CODE 11.59 strap is removed via standard 20 mm spring bars, accessible with a dedicated spring bar tool or pusher. The octagonal profile lugs require care when removing the spring bar to avoid scratches on the polished surfaces of the rose gold case. The operation can be performed independently or entrusted to a watchmaker.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the CODE 11.59 6393OR.OO.A056KB.01?

Yes. Any strap with a 20 mm lug width and standard spring bars is technically compatible. However, it is advisable to choose straps with a shaped tang or contained initial thickness, to adapt to the low profile of the CODE 11.59 lugs without aesthetic or mechanical conflicts. Milano Straps offers a dedicated selection for 20mm.

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

A quality leather strap — alligator or box calf — with regular use has an average lifespan of 12-24 months before patina and tang flexion require replacement. Frequent exposure to water, sweat, and heat accelerates degradation. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on manufacturing defects on all handcrafted straps.
