Gérald Genta's Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is an icon of watch design. Like the Nautilus, it uses an insert attachment system that requires a specific approach for strap changes.
The Royal Oak System
The Royal Oak uses inserts that fit into its characteristic octagonal lugs. MisterChrono offers compatible inserts for the most common references (15400, 15500, 15202).
The Options
- Alligator: the classic choice. Black, midnight blue or brown for an elegant look
- Rubber: especially for the Royal Oak Offshore, an FKM rubber maintains the sporty appeal
- Vintage leather: provides an interesting contrast with the ultra-modern case
Frequently Asked Questions
Does changing the strap damage the Royal Oak?
No, if the operation is performed by a professional with the right tools. We recommend having the strap installed in-store.
Are AP inserts the same as Patek's?
No, each brand uses a different proprietary system. The inserts are not interchangeable.
