  • Catalogue Essay

    Creativity meets technical mastery, the CODE 11.59 by Audemars Piguet is robust in architecture with design nuances taken from the brand’s heritage. A contemporary twist with a refreshing palette, the CODE 11.59 present features a vibrant rich smoked burgundy dial with a sunburst finish that gives the watch incredible depth. Cased in 18K white gold, one can notice the subtle play of the geometry from the Royal Oak DNA with seamless transition from satin-brushing to polished chamfers. It is notable that the typography of the numerals also reference the brand’s minute repeater from 1951, the ref. 5528. Considering that it was designed from the 50s, the visual language remains timeless in the CODE 11.59. Elegant yet sporty, the arched profile from the double-curved crystal streamlines the whole architecture as the most refined new breed from Audemars Piguet. Powered by the in-house caliber 4302, the movement has a power reserve of 70 hours and features an instantaneous jumping date that fits perfectly for our modern lifestyle today. Radiating confidence and fierceness, the burgundy CODE 11.59 also comes with a matching rubber strap that is perfect for everyday wear.

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.
