Made to Measure

The strap for this watch is made to measure

On the Girard-Perregaux 1966 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 Girard-Perregaux 1966 49528D52A771-CK6A?

The Girard-Perregaux 1966 49528D52A771-CK6A features a lug width of 20 millimetres, characteristic of the feminine models and small-diameter timepieces within the collection. This measurement allows the fitting of compatible aftermarket straps without structural modifications.

Which strap is recommended for the Girard-Perregaux 1966 49528D52A771-CK6A?

For a feminine pink gold timepiece such as the Girard-Perregaux 1966 49528D52A771-CK6A, a dark cognac alligator strap represents the most elegant solution, enhancing the luminosity of the case. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers superior material characteristics and develops natural patina over time. For everyday and sports wear, NATO straps in neutral tones maintain the construction lightness appropriate to the timepiece's proportions.

How do I change the strap on the Girard-Perregaux 1966 49528D52A771-CK6A?

To change the strap on the Girard-Perregaux 1966 49528D52A771-CK6A, access the pins connecting the lugs to the case. Use a dedicated pin removal tool, gently pushing the pin from the underside upwards. Position your watch on a protective surface to prevent scratches. If you lack expertise, consult an authorised service centre.

What is the lifespan of a leather strap for the Girard-Perregaux 1966 49528D52A771-CK6A?

Leather strap longevity depends on material quality and daily usage patterns. A quality artisanal alligator or calf strap, worn moderately, maintains structural integrity between 3 to 5 years. Vegetable tanning develops desirable patina over time, enhancing aesthetic appearance. Prolonged humidity exposure accelerates ageing; rotating straps seasonally and maintaining a rubber backup strap for extreme conditions is advised.
