Piaget
Altiplano G0A29165— lug 18mm

The lug width (misura ansa) of the Piaget Altiplano G0A29165 is 18 millimetres. This measurement represents the distance between the two metal lugs where the strap attaches to the case. It is essential to verify this dimension before ordering a bespoke strap, as even half a millimetre discrepancy will result in incompatibility.

For the G0A29165 in white gold, we recommend black or cognac alligator for formal elegance, or shell cordovan which develops a magnificent patina over time, creating compelling warm-cool contrasts. If you prefer more pronounced texture, vegetable-tanned calf is the ideal choice. For a sportive approach, rubber or NATO fabric straps keep the timepiece in casual register.

The strap connects to the case via two lateral lugs (18mm each). To replace the strap: use a spring bar tool or dedicated implement to gently compress the internal spring of each lug, carefully remove the old strap by sliding it out, then insert the new strap aligning it perfectly with both lugs. Ensure the spring clicks correctly on both sides.

Yes, any strap with a certified 18-millimetre lug width is compatible with the G0A29165. However, we recommend verifying the exact width with the manufacturer before purchase. Bespoke artisan straps guarantee perfect compatibility and superior fit compared to mass-produced standard products.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator, shell cordovan, calf) lasts approximately 3-5 years with daily wear, potentially extending to 7-10 years with occasional use. Longevity depends on perspiration exposure, humidity, and maintenance. Protective treatment and periodic cleaning with soft cloths significantly extend strap lifespan.
