Selected leathers
Nubuck allows for no approximations. It requires precise tanning, careful scale selection, and a finish that transforms the alligator's surface into something unexpected: soft to the touch like velvet, yet formal in appearance like the finest leather. This strap is crafted from Louisiana alligator skins, tanned in Tuscany according to a time-honored tradition.
The brown chosen for this version is not neutral—it is warm, deep, with natural variations from one piece to another. Each strap is cut from a single hide, meaning no two pieces are identical. The alligator scales, enhanced by the nubuck finish, acquire a three-dimensional texture that catches the light differently depending on the time and angle.
The hand stitching, done by artisans at Casati Milano workshops, is not merely an aesthetic detail: it is the structure. It holds together layers, tensions, and years of use. A 26mm strap for the Patek Philippe Nautilus is not a secondary accessory—it is the direct connection between a significant timepiece and the wearer's wrist.

Patina is the signature of time.
Alligator doesn't wear down: it matures. The first months on the wrist soften its flank, light darkens the ridges just slightly, and the colour deepens. We treat it with neutral oils, no varnish to smother the grain: what you take home isn't finished, it's only beginning.
The next step
The right strap isn’t chosen. It is built, together.
From the atelier appointment to delivery, every step is made for those who know that things done well take time. Rare leathers, one piece at a time, eighteen months of warranty.

Frequently asked questions
Are the scales all the same, or do they vary from piece to piece?
Each strap comes from a single Louisiana alligator hide. The scales vary slightly in shape and arrangement, as does the brown colour. Yours will not be identical to another.
How thick is it, and how does it feel on the wrist?
The thickness is 2.5 mm. The nubuck finish makes the surface soft to the touch, almost velvety, while still retaining the typical structure of alligator.
Is it hand-stitched?
Yes. The stitching is done entirely by hand, crafted in the Casati Milano workshops.
What are its exact measurements?
26 mm at the lugs. The length is 115 mm on the case side and 75 mm on the buckle side.
Will it fit my Patek Philippe Nautilus?
Yes, this 26 mm strap is designed for the Nautilus. The leather is tanned in Tuscany and crafted in Milan by Casati.
