  • 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. Unveiled in SIHH 2019, the CODE 11.59 launched the reference 26393 two-tone chronographs featuring a white-gold bezel and caseback while dedicating rose gold to the details from the octagonal mid case, crown and accents on the smoked dials.

    - Elegant yet sporty, the arched profile from the double-curved crystal streamlines the whole architecture as the most refined new breed from Audemars Piguet. The arched profile plays with depth, perspective and light for a unique optic experience. While its internal surface is shaped like a dome, it is vertically curved from 6 to 12 o’clock.

    - Sized at 41mm, the chronograph is powered by the calibre 4401, a column wheel activated vertical clutch chronograph that provides 72 hours of power reserve.

    - Offered by the original owner with its full set of accessories, the timepiece is paired with an attractive olive green strap that lifts the dynamic energy of this CODE 11.59 with a fume appeal.

  • Artist Biography

    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.
