Introducing For The First Time 38mm Audemars Piguet Code 11.59

In 2019, Audemars Piguet introduced the Code 11.59 collection, which garnered attention and sparked discussions within the horology community. Some viewed it as a bold step toward innovation, while others criticized the departure from Audemars Piguet's iconic models like the Royal Oak.

The Code 11.59 collection features a variety of models, ranging from elegant time-only pieces to intricate tourbillons, with sizes limited to either 42mm or 41mm. Now, Audemars Piguet introduces, for the first time, two unisex "Code 11.59 time and date" models in a 38mm case with an even slimmer profile measuring at 9.6mm.

The case is crafted from brushed and polished 18k pink gold, crowned by a glareproofed sapphire crystal, surrounded by a slender bezel, and an octagonal case middle with brushed and polished bevels. Additionally, it boasts a water resistance of up to 30 meters.

Both watches share similar cases, but each one is adorned with its unique dial, available in either purple or ivory with PVD treatment and an embossed pattern. This stamped pattern is a complex arrangement of concentric circles embellished with petite perforations. The hour and minute hands are crafted from pink gold and coated with luminescent material at their tips. Additionally, there's a date window located at 3 o'clock, elegantly framed in pink gold. The dial flange features rose gold hour markers and white printed minute markers and Arabic numerals.

Powered by the caliber 5900 with a slender profile of 4mm, with 60 hours of power reserve, and works at 28,800vph (4Hz), made by Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, a supplier to the most prestigious watchmakers that also created Audemars Piguet “Royal Oak Selfwinding 34mm and 37mm” movement. When you gaze through the sapphire caseback, you’ll notice a 22k pink gold rotor with satin brushing and Cote de Geneve pattern. 

The new 38 mm Code 11.59 comes with purple or ivory alligator straps, secured by an 18k pink gold pin buckle. Both watches share the same price at CHF 30,500, which is equivalent to AED 123,000.
