RODOLPHE Swiss-Made Genuine Lizard Watch Strap 20 mm — Blue
Overview
RODOLPHE is a Swiss strap manufacturer supplying OEM leather straps to high-end watchmakers, including brands serviced by Richemont and Swatch Group. This strap is crafted from genuine lizard skin on a calf leather base, designed for luxury watches requiring a 20 mm lug width. The blue lizard grain is paired with matching blue stitching, offering a refined finish for dress or casual timepieces. The taper from 20 mm at the lugs to 18 mm at the buckle follows classic proportions for balanced wear.
The strap is marked RODOLPHE | LEZARD VERITABLE | SWISS MADE, confirming its origin and material authenticity. The short end measures approximately 75 mm (excluding buckle), while the long end is approximately 115 mm, suitable for wrist circumferences up to ~200 mm (7.9 in). No buckle is included, allowing compatibility with existing hardware or aftermarket deployant clasps. Condition is graded Excellent in our Condition Grading Scale below, with no visible wear to the lizard grain or stitching.
Genuine lizard straps are favored for their durability and distinctive scale pattern, which resists stretching better than calf or alligator leather. Swiss-made lizard straps of this quality are typically supplied to brands like Vacheron Constantin, Cartier, and Patek Philippe for their leather strap options, though this is a standalone aftermarket piece. The blue dye is applied to the scales only, preserving the natural texture while ensuring colorfastness under normal wear.
Specifications
Lug width at watch end: 20 mm (measured). Taper at buckle end: 18 mm. Total length (short end + long end): ~190 mm (75 mm + 115 mm). Thickness at lugs: ~3.5 mm, tapering to ~2.8 mm at the buckle end. The strap is lined with genuine calf leather for flexibility and moisture resistance, with the lizard skin applied as the outer layer.
Markings: RODOLPHE (brand), LEZARD VERITABLE (genuine lizard confirmation), SWISS MADE (origin). Stitching is blue polyester thread, double-stitched at stress points (lug holes and keeper loop). The strap includes a single floating keeper, also in blue-stitched lizard skin. No buckle or additional keepers are provided.
The lizard species used is typically Varanus salvator (Asian water monitor), the most common source for watch straps due to its large, uniform scales. The blue pigment is applied via aniline dye, which penetrates the scales without creating a surface coating. The strap edges are burnished and sealed, not painted, to prevent fraying.

Frequently Asked Questions
The strap is designed for 20 mm lugs, measured precisely at the watch end. The taper to 18 mm at the buckle is standard for dress watches.
The blue color is applied via aniline dye, which penetrates the scales rather than sitting on the surface. This ensures durability and resistance to rubbing.
With a short end of 75 mm and long end of 115 mm, the strap will fit wrists up to approximately 200 mm (7.9 in) in circumference, assuming the buckle adds ~15 mm to the effective length.
Yes, but the clasp must be sized for 18 mm strap width at the buckle end. Most Swiss-made deployant clasps (e.g., from Gay Frères or Ardillon) are compatible if matched to the taper.
The outer layer is genuine lizard skin, while the lining is calf leather for flexibility and comfort against the wrist. This is standard for high-end straps to balance aesthetics and wearability.
