Audemars Piguet Code 11.59
The Audemars Piguet Code was introduced in 2019 and the Swiss manufacturer has begun a new era. The Audemars Piguet Code stands out clearly from the brand's already well-known models, appeals to a new group of buyers and surprises AP lovers.
The timepiece is available in many faceted versions and color combinations, simply as a three-hand watch with a date or with technically sophisticated complications such as a chronograph, tourbillon or with a perpetual calendar. These include some models that are only limited to a very small number. With a case diameter of 38 mm and 41 mm, it is unisex and can be worn by both men and women. The design and architecture of the clock is a modern, innovative development of a classic round clock. The bezel is very fine as it has been adapted to the unusual shape of the dial. The sapphire crystal is double domed and the inner surface is shaped like a dome, while the surface is vertically curved from 6 to 12 o'clock. This profile, which plays with depth, perspective and light, gives the watch an unmistakable character. The design of the glass was deliberately chosen so that the dial is easy to read from all sides. The use of different materials in the dial creates depth and sophistication. The AP is made from only the finest and highest quality materials, including rose gold, white gold and ceramic.

The guilloche and nimble enamel dial in blue was created in collaboration with the art guilloche artist Yann Van Kaenel and the enameler Anita Porchet. The hands are made of 18 carat white gold and the flange is painted blue. It is equipped with a blue, textured leather strap with a white gold folding clasp. The complex hand-wound caliber 2956 is installed with the functions Grande Sonnerie Supersonnerie, Petite Sonnerie, minute repeater, hours, minutes and small seconds with a power reserve of 48 hours.
Tourbillon Squelette
The AP Code is also available with a technically sophisticated, open tourbillon movement. It is available with a two-tone case made of 18 carat white gold and rose gold, reference 26600CR.OO.D009KB.01. The flange is painted slate gray and the hands are made of 18 carat rose gold. A slate gray rubber strap with a white gold folding clasp completes the watch.

The rose gold version has an elegant hand-sewn black alligator leather strap.
Audemars Piguet flying tourbillon
Another highlight of the collection is the flying tourbillon, the reference 26396BC.OO.D002CR.01, with a blue aventurine enamel dial reminiscent of a starry sky. The watch is completed with a black alligator leather strap. The AP Code 11.59 is celebrating a premiere with a black onyx dial and rose gold accents and matching black bracelet under the reference 26396NB.OO.D002KB.01. Another model variant is the 26396OR.OO.D002CR.02, with a rose gold case and black aventurine enamel dial.
Audemars Piguet perpetual calendar
One of the greatest complications in watchmaking is the perpetual calendar. The automatic caliber 5134 ensures that the week, day of the week, date, the astronomical moon, month and leap year are displayed, but also shows the hours and minutes in a very mundane way. A white gold variant, reference 26394BC.OO.D027KB.01, and rose gold variant, reference 26394OR.OO.D027KB.01 are also part of the collection. Both watches feature a blue aventurine dial and matching blue strap.
Audemars Piguet Starweehl 15212NB.OO.A002KB.01
The Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Starwheel is a modern interpretation of the “wandering hours” complication. Black ceramic and white gold come together in the bi-color case. The watch has a blue aventurine dial with opal black aluminum discs, white gold hands and a black inner bezel. A black, textured rubber strap with an 18-carat white gold pin buckle fits on the watch.
