The Heritage

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 67651BA.ZZ.1261BA.01 is a refined interpretation of the collection created by Gérald Genta in 1972. The 33 mm yellow gold case features the signature Tapisserie guilloché dial and eight hexagonal screws on the bezel. Powered by the AP 2713 caliber, it displays hours, minutes, and date.
Made to Measure

The strap for this watch is made to measure

On the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak the bracelet is drawn as part of the case: no catalogue strap will fit. In the atelier we take the measurements on the watch itself and build the strap on the piece — that is the work of Casati Milano.

FAQ

What is the lug width of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 67651BA.ZZ.1261BA.01?

The lug width of the Royal Oak 67651BA.ZZ.1261BA.01 is 20 mm. This measurement is taken with a caliper at the inner distance between the two lugs, in direct contact with the yellow gold case, and is the fundamental parameter for selecting a compatible aftermarket strap.

What is the best strap for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 67651BA.ZZ.1261BA.01?

For the Royal Oak 67651BA in yellow gold, a Mississippiensis alligator strap with polished finish is the most coherent pairing: the rectangular grain of the belly reflects the polished surfaces of the case. Alternatively, box-calf leather for daily wear or FKM rubber for sports use. Midnight blue or cognac brown colors best enhance the warm tones of yellow gold.

How do you change the strap on the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 67651BA.ZZ.1261BA.01?

The Royal Oak 67651BA comes with an integrated original bracelet: replacement with an aftermarket strap requires a fine-tipped spring bar tool to remove the fixing bars housed in the lugs. It is recommended to rely on a watchmaker or specialized atelier to avoid scratching the yellow gold case. The replacement strap must have curved ends of 20 mm to fit properly to the lug profile.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 67651BA.ZZ.1261BA.01?

Yes. 20 mm aftermarket straps with curved ends are compatible with the Royal Oak 67651BA.ZZ.1261BA.01. On milanostraps.it you will find a selection of 20 mm straps made by hand, available in alligator, calf, NATO and rubber, with bespoke customization option through the Casati Milano atelier.

How long does a leather strap last on an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak?

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the leather, care, and daily use. A high-quality alligator strap, used regularly, maintains structural integrity and finish for 2-4 years. Box-calf leather develops a characteristic patina over time but may soften more quickly in humid conditions. Casati Milano guarantees its straps for 18 months against manufacturing defects.
