Strap Compatibility For Code 11.59
Finding the correct strap size is an important step when replacing a strap on an Audemars Piguet Code 11.59. Unlike the integrated strap designs used on some Royal Oak models, Code 11.59 watches use traditional straight lugs, making strap sizing more straightforward.
The table below provides a general reference for the lug widths of different Code 11.59 models. Since the strap attaches directly to the straight lugs, confirming the lug width is the key step when choosing a replacement strap. Always check your exact watch reference and measure the distance between the lugs before ordering.

How to Measure Your Code 11.59 Lug Width
Because the Code 11.59 uses straight lugs, measuring the required strap size is relatively straightforward. Measure the distance between the inside edges of the two lugs where the strap connects to the case.
Important: The case diameter does not determine the strap size by itself. Always confirm your exact Code 11.59 reference and measure the lug width before ordering a replacement strap.
How to Choose a Replacement Strap for Audemars Piguet Code 11.59
Choosing a replacement strap for the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 starts with fitment rather than color. Once you confirm the correct lug width, you can choose the material, color and buckle configuration that best suits your watch and how you wear it.
1. Confirm the lug width
Code 11.59 watches use traditional straight lugs, making the connection easier to measure than an integrated bracelet-style case. Measure the distance between the inside edges of the lugs and choose a strap with the matching watch-end width.
2. Check the strap taper
The watch-end width and buckle-end width are not necessarily the same. A tapered strap can provide a more balanced appearance on the wrist, so check both dimensions before ordering.
3. Consider the buckle configuration
If you plan to use the original Audemars Piguet buckle or another compatible clasp, check the buckle-end width and strap construction before ordering.
4. Choose the material based on use
FKM rubber is suitable for active and everyday wear, while leather and alligator leather offer a more traditional luxury appearance. Canvas and other fabric options can create a more casual or contemporary look.
5. Match the strap to the watch
Consider the case material and dial color when choosing a replacement strap. Black offers a versatile appearance, while blue, green, brown and other colors can create a stronger contrast with the Code 11.59 dial.
