Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 Selfwinding 41 mm Review

Today we will be looking at a stunning new AP watch collection that has excited many watch enthusiasts. We'll break it down piece by piece and provide a detailed and honest assessment. We'll start with the most striking feature of the watch: the dial. If you are ready, let's get started.

DIAL

This model features a striking lacquered smoky gray gradient dial with a subtle radial brush sunburst pattern. The dial has an inner bezel with black lacquered workmanship. On this inner bezel, a small white print font is used for the numerals at each 5-minute interval on the minute track, separated by fine print index-style seconds markers. On the inner dial, the polished applique hour markers at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 positions are made in a bold Arabic-style font. These four applique numerals are separated by applied and beveled index hour markers. There is a date window between the 4th and 5th positions.

In the watch model shown here, the hour and minute hands are made of the same polished rose gold as the numerals and hour markers; So is the Audemars Piguet logo at position 12. The surface structure of the dial is something that Audemars Piguet is famous for. Their logos, for example, are made through a chemical process called galvanic growth, which uses many thin layers of gold to create a look that resembles 3D printing from solid gold.

GLASS

The dial is covered with a double layer of anti-glare curved sapphire glass, providing enhanced visibility and clarity. It is curved with a specific profile shape to create a unique optical experience that combines perspective, depth and light.

CASE

The model featured here uses a unique two-tone sandwich structure and design combining 18 carat white gold and 18 carat rose gold. The case combines brushed and polished craftsmanship on the outer and inner layers of the sandwich structure. The dial has a polished and chamfered edge, brushed back, and curved lugs and sides. What makes CODE 11.59 unique is the combination of different geometric shapes in its construction. The outer white gold layer has a round shape, while the inner rose gold layer has a polygonal shape, reminiscent of the case of AP's famous and iconic Royal Oak watches. It has a diameter of 41 mm, a thickness of 10.7 mm and a waterproof rating of 30m/100ft.

CROWN

There is a polished and brushed crown on the right side of the case; It is serrated for a better grip and the AP logo is engraved on the smooth brushed edge of the crown.

BEHIND THE CASE

A polished workmanship has been applied to the screw holes on the brushed workmanship case back, which has a flat profile and beveled around the chamfered edge of the case back. The edge of the transparent caseback is adorned with numerous inscriptions, including an engraving of the CODE 11.59 logo, the phrase "by Audemars Piguet", the serial number, and a few additional small symbols.

MECHANISM

Powering this watch is the self-winding Audemars Piguet Caliber 4302, a self-winding movement with a 22 carat gold oscillating weighted winding rotor. The 32 jewel movement consists of 257 parts, has a vibration frequency of 4Hz or 28,800 per hour and offers an impressive power reserve of 70 hours when fully wound. The 4302 also has an instant jump date feature.

The movement is beautifully crafted, starting with the intricately decorated, embossed and etched rose gold rotor. Geneva lines with polished beveled edges are used on the other plates visible through the transparent sapphire case back. Some inscriptions and engravings on the AP 4302 movement, including the logo, the phrase "Swiss Made" and the number of stones, are made of rose gold.

BELT

The luxury leather strap uses crocodile leather with large hand-stitched square sequins. The strap connects to the watch with a brushed 18-carat white gold pin buckle.

SUMMARY

The CODE 11.59 watch collection is full of great promises for the future. The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Automatic 41 mm watch featured in this article uses a new movement; In fact, it is one of AP's 6 new generation mechanisms. In this new family of watches, you'll find both time-only calibers and more complex mechanical marvels. These include the Caliber 2948, with a skeletonized flying turbine; Caliber 5134, which has a perpetual calendar that automatically adjusts for short months and adds a day to February every leap year; and finally, there are higher complications such as the Caliber 2953, which features a minute repeater Supersonnerie that plays louder on the wrist than when removed from the wrist.

Is this model the best of all we've seen this year? It's hard to say. There were many beautiful limited edition watches that could come before this one. However, considering its price, the features it offers and its design, it is definitely a great watch from one of the most prestigious brands and will definitely show off your good taste in watch manufacturers and watch style.
