Breguet
Classique 5177BR/12/RV0— lug 20mm

The Breguet Classique 5177BR/12/RV0 is fitted with 20mm lugs. This measurement is taken with a caliper positioned between the two lugs, perpendicular to the watch's axis, at the strap attachment point. All 20mm straps are compatible with this reference.

For the Classique 5177BR/12/RV0 in rose gold, a polished mississippi alligator strap in cognac, burgundy, or black tones is the most fitting choice for the character of the piece. The natural grain of the reptile leather pairs thoughtfully with the dial's guilloché. Polished box calf is the most understated alternative, capable of developing patina over time.

Strap replacement is done by removing the spring bars that anchor the strap to the 20mm lugs. It is recommended to use a proper spring bar tool to avoid scratching the 18k rose gold case. The operation takes just a few minutes and can be performed independently with the right tools, or entrusted to a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier.

Yes. The Breguet Classique 5177BR/12/RV0 uses a standard 20mm attachment with conventional spring bars, ensuring full compatibility with quality aftermarket straps. Milano Straps offers a selection of 20mm straps in alligator, calf, and other materials, handcrafted and compatible with this reference.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, frequency of use, and care. A quality alligator strap, used with rotation and kept away from moisture and sweat, can last 3 to 5 years while maintaining full structural integrity. Milano Straps guarantees its straps for 18 months against manufacturing defects. The patina that develops on box calf over time is considered an asset, not a flaw.
