Code 11.59 Perpetual Calendar
A rare and attractive pink gold perpetual calendar wristwatch with aventurine glass dial, moon phases, weekly, leap year indication, warranty and winding presentation box
Full-Cataloguing
- The present Code 11.59 Perpetual Calendar features the now-discontinued caliber 5134, which was replaced in early 2025. This is evidenced by the case correctors designed for the calendar functions. The original 2019 release of the Code 11.59 included a perpetual calendar, and this particular configuration showcases a luxurious pink gold case paired with a sparkling blue aventurine glass dial. The streamlined design lacks steps or contrasts to differentiate the calendar functions, giving the impression that the numerals and graphics are floating on the dial.
- The hollowed, downturned lugs, faceted mid-case, and Art Deco-inspired typography may seem like unrelated elements, however, they merge to create an exceptionally wearable wristwatch. Elegant yet sporty, the arched profile created by the double-curved crystal enhances the refined lines of the case. This profile plays with depth, perspective, and light, offering a unique optical experience. Its internal surface is shaped like a dome, featuring a vertical curve stretching from 6 to 12 o’clock.
- Given the rarity of these pieces at public auction, this example is offered in excellent overall condition and comes complete with its warranty and a winding presentation box.
