Audemars Piguet Just Debuted 10 Stylish Updates to its Code 11.59 Watch Collection

Audemars Piguet launched the Code 11.59 last year in a spectacular burst of abundance-13 references, including time/date, chronograph, perpetual calendar, automatic flying tourbillon, openworked tourbillon, and Supersonnerie minute repeater models made up the collection The new models include a two-tone in 18-karat white and rose gold, rather than the traditional steel and gold combination, along with new fume dials in several colors, including deep red, purple and grey Two-tone gold cases are extremely rare in the history of Audemars Piguet wristwatches.

Some of the initial online response to the Code 11.59 from the collector community last year was negative, possibly because the watch was so hard to define, and so different from the Royal Oak, the brand's flagship model The colored dials are lacquered in the fume style, which means they go from light to dark from the center to the outside of the case, a detail popular on watch dials of the 1970s "It's not a men's watch, and it's not a woman's watch.

It's a watch," said Audemars Piguet CEO François-Henry Bennahmias when it was launched Of the 10 new models, there are five self-winding date, hour, minute and second references and five new self-winding chronograph models all with double curved glare-proof sapphire crystals and hand-stitched large-square scale alligator straps matching the dial's color. .
