Read Conditions of Sale
Making its auction debut, this Code 11.59 Special Edition with blue sodalite dial, one of only 50 pieces made, exemplifies the kind of gorgeous greatness that Audemars Piguet delights in implementing for their newest line.

Though inarguably simple, the white gold Code 11.59 Selfwinding takes cues from past designs in the Audemars Piguet archive and metabolizes them into something avant garde. The hollowed, downturned lugs, faceted mid-case, and Art Deco-inspired typography are seemingly disparate elements that combine into an extremely wearable wristwatch.

Made especially for the Japanese market, the blue sodalite dial is complemented by an outer lacquered blue ring displaying the minutes, and extremely discreet diamond indexes acting as hour markers. Consigned by its original owner in virtually brand new condition with its full suite of accessories, it is an exceptional opportunity to own an extremely rare modern limited edition from Audemars Piguet.

Audemars Piguet

Swiss | 1881

A specialist in the manufacture of complications since it was established in 1881, Audemars Piguet never ceases to impress with a rich history of creating bold, even audacious, timepieces underpinned by traditional watchmaking at its finest. This Le Brassus-based Swiss manufacturer is one of only two major manufacturers still owned by the founding family. Since its earliest days, AP is considered a leader in the field of minute repeaters and grande complication pocket and wristwatches. The brand is devoted to preserving the history of watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, showcased at their superb museum in Le Brassus.


Today, the brand is best known for its Royal Oak models, a revolutionary luxury sports watch launched in 1972. Other key models include early minute repeating wristwatches, vintage chronograph wristwatches, such as the oversized reference 5020, perpetual calendar watches and the Royal Oak Offshore, first introduced in 1993.
