Matte Red Alligator Strap 26mm — Compatible with Patek Philippe
SKU: PKC-001-RED-26
The Louisiana alligator doesn't just get dyed—it reveals itself. The matte red of this strap isn't a decorative choice: it's a precise, recognizable character that only works for those who know how to wear it.
The leather is selected in Louisiana and tanned in Tuscany according to traditional Italian methods. The result is a matte, compact surface, with the alligator's belly pattern emerging without overwhelming. Each scale is different from the other—it's the signature of a living material, not an industrial finish.
The tone-on-tone stitching maintains the sobriety of the piece: the thread doesn't compete with the leather, it follows it. The thickness tapers from the lugs to the keeper to follow the wrist without stiffness. A strap built for Patek Philippe, in its most demanding sizes—but with the discretion of someone who doesn't need to prove anything.

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.

Domande Frequenti
What are the dimensions of this strap?
26mm lug width, tapering to 18mm at the buckle. Length 115mm on the case side, 75mm on the buckle side. Thickness of 4mm at the lugs, tapering to 2mm at the tip: it follows the wrist without sharp edges.
Which Patek Philippe can I fit it to?
It is designed for Patek Philippe models that require a 26mm lug width. If you have the model in hand and would like precise confirmation, feel free to write to us.
Is the red glossy or matte?
Matte. No showroom shine: the leather stays firm, with the alligator belly grain visible but not dominant.
How will it change with use?
Alligator lives on the wrist. It softens, takes on warmth and perspiration, and the patina that develops depends on how you wear it. It won't stay identical to day one, and that's exactly as it should be.
Will my strap have the same scales as the one in the photo?
No, and it couldn't be otherwise. The Louisiana alligator is selected and tanned in Tuscany, but each hide has its own grain. The piece you receive is yours, not a replica of the catalogue image.
