Audemars Piguet’s Code 11.59 in Steel Wins Over Doubters

Since its debut in 2019, the fake Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 has been a hot topic. It’s fair to say that, like other products in history such as the Royal Oak, the series was not immediately well received by watch enthusiasts. With such high anticipation at the time of its release and an aggressive marketing campaign following its launch, the bar was so high that the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 was closely watched. Naturally, being an Audemars Piguet piece, it was inevitable that it would attract a lot of discussion anyway. However, after balancing the social media sentiment, it seems that people think that the series has its quirks, but also a real foundation for potential growth. In the years since, the series has continued to evolve with improvements to the hands and dials. And at the high end, looking at their skeletonization and high complications, the prospects of the model become increasingly clear. The only thing left was to bring the entry-level of the collection up to spec, and it looks like the Trinity manufacturer has done just that with its new Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 in stainless steel.

Previously, the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 was available only in precious metals. The introduction of steel makes the quality replicas watches more affordable and more accessible to consumers new to the brand. The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 in steel comes in six configurations, including three time and date models and three chronographs. Each has the same three dial/strap colors: blue, green, and smoked beige. I mention these dial colors upfront because the blue and green models feature a 41mm stainless steel case, while the smoked beige model continues Audemars Piguet’s trend of pairing metal with ceramic—it features black ceramic for the middle case and crown. From a manufacturing perspective, it took some time to create the intricacies of the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 case in steel, but the result is exactly what we’ve come to expect from the collection.

As I explained in my previous review, the casemaking process draws on three centuries of watchmaking techniques – combining traditional finishing with cutting-edge modern manufacturing and machining. For example, a heated conveyor belt system is used to create and form the lugs (modern technique), which are then hand-polished with the roots of specific trees (traditional technique). This small detail on the lugs really enhances the beauty of the watch, while the chamfered lines of the steel continue to stand out. These polished surfaces are complemented by rich brushing – a perfect balance of mixed finishes that bring out the light and shadow effects associated with the brand.

Obviously, while both cases measure 41mm in diameter, there is a difference in thickness between the time and date model and the chronograph model. The time and date model is slimmer at just 10.7mm thick, while the chronograph model is an admirable 12.6mm under 13mm. In my experience, both sizes fit well under the cuff and can easily slip under a sleeve. Measuring approximately 50mm lug to lug on each section of these watches, the proportions on the wrist are by no means classic. That being said, I feel like I can wear them on my smaller 6.5-inch wrist, so I wouldn’t prematurely assume that I can’t wear this size, unless you try the “metal” case.

One of my challenges for improvement is to push the water resistance rating as high as possible, which is currently only 30 meters. These fake luxury watches, while finely constructed and elegantly decorated, would bring a whole new dimension of daily wearability and versatility if they were water-resistant to 50 meters or more.

Now, I’ve mentioned the blue, green, and smoked beige color options, but the real visual evolution of the new Audemars Piguet steel Code 11.59 is its new guilloché dial. Kaenael developed it with Swiss guilloché artisan Yann von Kaenel, who is responsible for hand-making the stamps used to create the time, date, and chronograph dials. The hand-engraved stamp features a wave pattern that moves outward from the center of the dial—hundreds of tiny holes enhance the reflection of the sun’s rays. While the chronograph models continue to use the controversial 4:30 position to display the date, the time and date models have been updated to display the date at the 3-minute position. This small detail will make a big difference to potential buyers in the enthusiast field. Another aspect that dial purists will appreciate is that the color of the date wheel matches the dial perfectly, with the smoked beige models featuring a black face that blends in with the smoked outer edge. Speaking of smoked beige configurations, it makes sense that these models feature a ceramic middle case and crown, as the black color of the material complements the black outer edge of the smoked dial.

Under the hyperboloid anti-glare sapphire crystal, the inner bezel features raised chapter rings that slope down to blend in with the stamped dial. For the chronograph models, the flat section is where the tachymeter scale is located, while the angled section is the outer minute ring. For the time and date models, the flat section is the outer minute ring, while the angled section is the ring that supports the hour markers. Ultimately, the design choice allows the stamped center to exist as undisturbed as possible — strictly a luminous applique ring for the time and date models, and a ring and three dials for the chronograph models.

While great from a legibility standpoint, I’m still conflicted about the running seconds counter at 6’. You’ll notice that the counter is formatted differently than the elapsed hours counter at 3’ and the elapsed minutes counter at 9’. The elapsed hours counter has a contrasting ring that surrounds the inner colored badge. The running seconds counter, however, does not follow this border. And, especially on the blue model, the counter is a full contrasting gray (while the green model has an all-green counter to match its dial). The borderless aesthetic makes it easy to tell that the 6’ counter is not a chronograph function like the other two. Personally, I would have preferred more uniformity between the registers and trust myself to be able to distinguish the functions. Ultimately, symmetry and balance are still maintained — the contrasting running seconds counter is centered right between the two registers, and the layout style matches. So, it’s not the end of the world, but more of a what-if? experiment than anything else. replica audemars piguet

Normally, a collection like this would come with a traditional calfskin or alligator leather strap, but I respect that Audemars Piguet is exploring straps that are combined with a more modern feel. This makes sense, considering that this collection is positioned as the future of the brand, or at least its latest evolution. So breaking with tradition and going with a fabric upper and leather sole is, in my opinion, a fitting move. It offers a more youthful aesthetic, implicitly reminding its owner that you don’t need to wear a suit to wear this watch. Its casual feel eliminates the sense of stiffness, suggesting that it’s worthy of daily wear. Personally, I find the strap to be very comfortable on my wrist. I do think, though, that for smaller wrists like mine, it would be worthwhile to drill two more holes in the strap to accommodate a better fit. But this is a simple enough operation that AP or a trusted watchmaker can do for you if needed. The strap is also specially rubber-coated to resist moisture, and is secured to the case with screws rather than spring bars. This only further proves my argument that adding a depth rating would be a huge improvement.

Both watches are automatic with a 70-hour power reserve, with the time-date model powered by calibre 4302 and the chronograph model powered by calibre 4401. While the movements may not be as refined as the skeletonised versions of the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 collection, their craftsmanship is in keeping with the brand’s reputation. Traditional perlage, Côtes de Genève and fine chamfers can be seen throughout the movement, and the skeletonised solid gold rotor is meticulously polished and chamfered to get in the way. The calibre 4401 is a vertical clutch, column-wheel and flyback chronograph movement, which means you can run the chronograph continuously with less wear on parts, and you can reset the chronograph function without having to stop it first, which would damage a standard chronograph movement.

The new Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 in steel proves that the collection has truly come of age – we’re well past the awkward adolescence stage. The high-end has started to heat up, but now the entry-level offering is also very strong. The stamped dial looks great in the metal, the strap is very comfortable, and the case finish is top-notch as always. The steel version has definitely opened up a wider door for buyers to engage with the brand, and its strategic and aesthetic refinements—at least in my #watchfam circles—have convinced more and more people that this collection is worth exploring. buying replica watch

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Automatic Camouflage Diamond 41mm

Following the launch of the Royal Oak Automatic Rainbow Set in 2022, Swiss haute horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet continues to explore highly creative sets. This year, Audemars Piguet unveils two fully pavé 41mm Royal Oak Automatic watches with a camouflage pattern that extends from the dial to the case and bracelet. The pattern is composed of 861 baguette-cut gemstones in gradients of blue or green, brown and black – an industry first. Each gemstone is carefully selected and custom-cut to achieve seamless harmony between the components and produce an original blend of colors. These timepieces bring haute horlogerie and high jewellery into a creative dialogue, opening up new aesthetic possibilities for the brand.

Unprecedented Camouflage Design

Since its inception, the Audemars Piguet fake Manufacture has continuously pushed the boundaries of craftsmanship, pioneering avant-garde aesthetics with a variety of shapes, colors, finishing techniques and gem-setting techniques. This year, Audemars Piguet explores the creative possibilities of the camouflage pattern, which first appeared on the rubber strap of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore in 2018. Audemars Piguet’s R&D department introduced a new colored material with a similar pattern earlier this year¹, and the Manufacture has once again reinterpreted this iconic design through gem-setting.

The camouflage of the two new 41mm Royal Oak Automatic watches is composed of 861 baguette-cut colored gemstones that completely cover the case, bracelet and dial. The first watch features graded blue sapphires and Swiss blue topaz (approx. 44.32 carats), while the second combines black sapphires, light and dark tsavorites and smoky quartz (approx. 39.91 carats) to create a harmonious palette of green, brown and black tones.

Finding the right gemstones, colors and contrasts while meeting Audemars Piguet’s strict standards for color, clarity and quality were key steps in the design of these two watches. Each gemstone undergoes a rigorous quality control process. After a rigorous selection by suppliers, Audemars Piguet also conducts additional checks to ensure overall harmony. Finally, the purity and gemological properties of the gemstones are verified by external laboratories.

To create a harmonious camouflage effect and to have it repeated throughout the watch, we carefully selected a variety of gemstones, including some rarely used in watchmaking. Tsavorites, smoky quartz and black sapphires are used for the green copy watch, while Swiss blue topaz is combined with blue sapphires for the blue watch, which allows us to enrich the colors and achieve more subtle gradients. Finally, invisible setting enhances the tone of each stone, giving volume and depth to both watches. ” Samira Ribeaucourt Audemars Piguet gemologist.

The art of invisible setting

To complement the construction of the Royal Oak case, bracelet and dial, the coloured gemstones were individually cut into 179 different baguette sizes and then hand-polished to present sharp, clear angles. The quality of the cut was just as important as the intrinsic quality and clarity of the gemstones. Not only did they have to be loupe-clean (i.e. no inclusions visible when examining the gemstones with a 10x loupe). Their lines and stepped facets also had to be perfectly symmetrical and aligned to allow light to pass through.

The Manufacture has chosen a complex invisible setting technique for the dial, bracelet links and some of the case parts.² Tiny grooves are meticulously carved into the baguette stones, which are then carefully snapped one by one into hidden tracks set into the gold components, using as little material as possible and giving the impression that the stones have secured themselves. The complexity also lies in achieving seamless alignment – ​​a painstaking task that requires extreme precision.

The dial alone features 152 gemstones, cut into 28 The quartz crystals are set in a variety of sizes – a technical feat given how thin the gold discs on which they are set are. To highlight the position of the stones, the hour markers are omitted, while the “Audemars Piguet” signature and “Swiss Made” logo are discreetly printed in white on the underside of the sapphire crystal.

Invisible setting affects the entire production process of the dial and bracelet links, from construction, precision manufacturing to finishing. The technical and gem-setting teams work together at all stages of production to push creativity while preserving the aesthetic codes of the collection and ensuring water resistance, reliability, robustness and repairability. ³ copy luxury watches

² Note, however, that closed setting techniques are used on the bezel, lugs and crown of different timepieces. ³
A watch’s gem-setting affects its geometry and durability, as well as its entire manufacturing process.

Latest-generation automatic movement

Both watches are equipped with the 4309 calibre, the latest automatic movement of this diameter developed by the watchmaker. The date display is omitted to highlight the gemstone setting on the dial.

The movement is equipped with a patented mechanism that ensures stability and precision in the adjustment of the watch. In addition, the 32 mm diameter ensures optimal timekeeping accuracy, while the minimum 70-hour power reserve is perfectly suited to contemporary lifestyles.

Through the watch’s sapphire caseback, one can admire the movement’s rhodium-colored 22-carat rose gold oscillating weight and its signature haute horlogerie decorations, such as Geneva waves, satin-brushed, circular-grained and polished chamfers.

Audemars Piguet introduces two new 38mm all-gem-set watches to the Code 11.59 collection

Audemars Piguet fake, the Swiss luxury watchmaker, is pleased to present two new 38mm Code 11.59 watches, with fine gemstones adorning the case and dial

These new models, in 18-carat white or rose gold, feature 533 brilliant-cut diamonds and coloured sapphires (approx. 2.05 carats) set in an irregular pattern on the dial. Powered by the three-hand automatic movement Calibre 5909, these new creations combine technical performance, ultra-modern design and dazzling sophistication.

Two detailed iterations

The two new automatic watches in 18K gold combine the collection’s ultra-modern design with fine diamonds and coloured sapphires for a striking contrast. For the first time, the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 38mm watch is set with brilliant-cut diamonds on the case middle, bezel, lugs and crown, highlighting its elegance.

However, in terms of aesthetics, the dial takes center stage. Crafted in gold and set with 134 carefully selected diamonds and 399 sapphires (approx. 2.05 carats), the dial presents a gradient of blue or pink tones that sparkles with every movement of the wrist, creating a fascinating play of light. The brilliant-cut gemstones are cut into two different sizes (0.85 to 0.90 mm in the first and 0.90 to 1 mm in the second) and then carefully set to create an irregular effect and harmonious color presentation, which is the same for every watch in the collection. Sourcing is a crucial step in the production process, which involves finding gemstones with the required color gradient and in sufficient quantity. This task is as meticulous as aligning the gemstones on the dial to achieve a stunning visual effect.

The 18K white gold case perfectly combines the gleam of gold with the sparkle of diamonds. The grey beauty of this watch is enhanced by the rhodium-coloured inner bezel, white gold hour markers and matching hour and minute hands. The latter are filled with luminous material for optimal visibility in the dark. The dial is set with gradient pink diamonds and sapphires, providing a soft touch of colour and infinite details at a glance. A pearl grey alligator leather strap completes this elegant watch.

The second cheap swiss watch, on the other hand, pairs 18K rose gold with 533 diamonds and dark blue gradient sapphires (approx. 2.05 carats) for a contrasting effect. The dark blue inner bezel matches the colour of the alligator leather strap, while the hour markers and luminous hands echo the tone of the rose gold case.

Elegant automatic movement

These two new 38 mm diameter watches are equipped with Audemars Piguet’s latest automatic hour, minute and second movement, Caliber 5909. Appearing for the first time in the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 collection, this movement is 3.9 mm thick, beats at 4 Hz and has a power reserve of 60 hours, making it ideal for a modern lifestyle. The date display has been eliminated, and the exquisite gem setting on the dial takes the lead.

The elegance of the Calibre 5909 is reflected in the exquisite haute horlogerie decoration, including Geneva waves, tire graining, satin-brushing, snailed and polished, which can be admired through the sapphire caseback, and the 22-carat rose gold oscillating weight, which is rhodium-toned in the white gold version to match the color of the case. https://www.reviewluxurystore.com

Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 launches in new 38mm size

The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 is available in a 38mm size for the first time.
The embossed dial that debuted on the steel model is again used, but in new purple and ivory hues.
This is a strictly precious metals, time and date only offering, at least for now

To be fair, the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 got off to an awkward start, with its hype subjecting it to widespread scrutiny and nitpicking. However, in its teenage years, the series has grown and developed into something stronger. The look is defined by refined aesthetics, evolved hand forms and dials. With more complex and skeletonized offerings, Audemars Piguet shows how they can make the most of real estate, and with its first foray into steel, the brand shows how Audemars Piguet’s Code 11.59 can be a strong entry-level offering for the brand. The only road the series hasn’t traveled yet is new sizes – until now. Of course, the previous model wasn’t a behemoth, but the more compact, classy size will certainly complement the existing range and lend an olive branch to smaller wrists. This new 38mm Code 11.59 Audemars Piguet automatic watch does just that.

With the downsizing comes zero compromise, at least on the outside. Apart from its dimensions, it is identical to the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 offering. The three-part case with a faceted center reminiscent of the Royal Oak is crafted in exactly the same way, with a predominantly brushed finish complemented by hand-chamfered and polished finishes. It also retains 30 meters of water resistance – I’d expect any size to be water resistant to 50 meters or more. The new 38mm diameter of the two new watches is 3mm smaller than the previous 41mm automatic configuration, and the thickness has also been reduced from 10.7mm to 9.6mm, making it 1.1mm thinner. replica women’s watches

As we saw on the steel model, Audemars Piguet once again features an embossed dial designed by Swiss guilloché craftsman Yann von Kaenel. The dials are stamped for clarity, but the stamps themselves are handmade by Kaenel. In steel we see blue, green and gradient beige. In this new 38mm watch, the case is strictly 18k rose gold, with a purple dial that will drive Los Angeles Lakers fans crazy (I know it’s not gold), and an ivory dial for those who prefer its classic creamy texture. Ivory often has vintage connotations, but within the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 frame, it feels modern and stylish. However, neither has the smoky effect of the beige dial seen on the steel model. I certainly love seeing the two new faces, and really appreciate the color-matched date window, but I’d also like to see the 41mm steel construction scaled down to a 38mm size.

The only compromise, and by the most snobby of watch snob standards, is the switch from the in-house 4302 automatic movement to the Vaucher-based automatic 5900 movement. That’s a digestible drop from the 70-hour power reserve of the 4302-powered 41mm movement. The automatic model in the 38mm range has a 60-hour power reserve. To be clear, the decoration of the 5900 is done by Audemars Piguet, so unless you just want to always show off the in-house pieces in your collection, there’s really no reason to scoff at the use of the 5900. luxury watches replica

This is the part I always say. For a smaller 6.5-inch or so wrist, I appreciate the downsizing of the design, and I appreciate that the downsizing is limited to the dimensions rather than the entire product. The new 38mm models are a great start, but I’d be disappointed if we didn’t see this part of the range expand like the larger models. I wanted steel and ceramic, and I wanted complications—from chronograph to tourbillon—to be packed into this size. Speaking of ceramic, I can’t help but wonder how cool it would be if the ivory configuration had a ceramic middle case that matched the dial, instead of the current all-pink gold design. For those who are price-conscious, the size reduction from 41mm to 38mm also means a $1,200 price drop, so if you’re not that obsessed with in-house movements and prefer or are ambivalent about a more compact size, then This is Audemars Piguet’s Code.1159 to study, or at least keep an eye on as the collection grows. buy beautiful replica watches

Audemars Piguet collaborates with the 1017 ALYX 9SM on five new timepieces, including a one-of-a-kind Royal Oak Chronograph

In addition to the four new Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore watches, this pioneering alliance has spawned a range of exquisite timepieces, creating a unique collection sure to appeal to watch and fashion lovers.

In a breakthrough collaboration, Audemars Piguet teamed up with American designer Matthew Williams, visionary founder of the 1017 ALYX 9SM, to create four new Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore watches, as well as a Royal Oak exclusive watch. Effortlessly blending Audemars Piguet’s signature aesthetic codes with Williams’ unique design sensibility, these timepieces are aimed at urban fashion lovers looking to express their individuality.

Matthew Williams, also Creative Director of Givenchy, is known for pushing the boundaries of materials to create innovative and disruptive creations. For Williams, the watch is not just a timekeeping tool, but a timekeeping tool. It is a medium of self-expression. The resulting collection blends minimalist aesthetics with thoughtful design, offering a range of reference sizes from 37mm to 42mm.

There are four references to the new design, including two Royal Oak models and two Royal Oak Offshore models. Meticulously handcrafted in 18K gold, the Royal Oak is the first of the smaller models at 37mm and powered by the self-winding Caliber 5909. Its minimalist dial is adorned with luminous gold hands, complemented by the iconic signature dial. Signed “Audemars Piguet” and “1017 ALYX 9SM“, the former is appliquéd in gold and the latter is elegantly transferred. The second, a 41mm self-winding chronograph (with caliber 4409), pushes the minimalist boundaries of traditional chronograph dials. Instead, only the hands dance gracefully at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock.

The two Royal Oak Offshore watches break the rules, retaining only the basic elements on the dial, showing a striking style. Signature date aperture at 3 o’clock with signature AP monogram. Signature 1017 ALYX 9SM at 6 o’clock. Unlike the chronograph, the counters at 6 o’clock, 9 o’clock and 12 o’clock are omitted, and the focus is only on the hands. Measuring 42 mm, the watch is powered by the 4404 self-winding movement and is available in 18K white or yellow gold, striking a harmonious balance between sophistication and opulence.

Each piece is meticulously crafted with Audemars Piguet’s signature hand-finishing and features a case back engraved with the words “Limited Edition”. https://www.reviewluxurystore.com

The Royal Oak Offshore is unique
However, this collaboration resulted in an extraordinary creation – a unique Royal Oak self-winding chronograph. This 41mm timepiece features a two-tone case and bracelet that artfully combines 18K gold and stainless steel. The black PVD-coated gold dial has a vertical satin finish for contrast. It is worth noting that the logo of the two cooperative brands is proudly engraved on the dial, and it is matched with the gold chronograph hands to bring vivid visual impact. The watch is powered by Caliber 4409, which powers the flyback chronograph function, hours, minutes and small seconds, and offers a 70-hour power reserve.

The exclusive piece will be auctioned off during the launch in Tokyo, with funds raised going to a project that supports the education of underprivileged children. This initiative coincides with the long-standing commitment of the Audemars Piguet Foundation and Matthew Williams to support disadvantaged children. Selected beneficiaries “Kids in Motion” and “Right to Play” will channel their efforts into projects that empower children through education and play-based learning. https://www.review4uwatch.com

Audemars Piguet

pop culture icons who marked their era

Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the Royal Oak Offshore was the catalyst for a new trend in big, cool sports watches

Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Offshore When it came out in 1993, the Royal Oak Offshore was oversized, sporty, durable yet refined, and at the time not fully understood by people. Watch enthusiasts thought it was a monster, calling it “The Beast”. Even the famous designer of the Royal Oak, Gérald Genta, called it the “Walrus”. But it was the 1990s, an era of big and bold, and the model found its tribe among a new generation of young consumers who loved a standout aesthetic.

Pop Culture
For those too young to remember the 1990s, it was an explosive time in pop culture. As advances in digital recording equipment allowed artists to create music in entirely new ways, the music world witnessed a period of creative and inspiring new sounds, including new genres such as alternative music, ska punk, rap and hip-hop. Hip-hop style also found its way into fashion through oversized pants, hoodies, paramilitary boots, and snap caps. Jurassic Park was the most popular movie of 1993, and dinosaur toys are on every kid’s gift list. Auto sales have surged as pickup trucks became the best-selling vehicle in the United States. Essentially, big is cool!

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore
Dierk Wettengel, Audemars Piguet’s German agent, started the trend by asking the manufacturer for a new trend-setting model for the offshore regattas of the 1990s. Designer Emmanuel Gueit set out on a mission to reinvent the Royal Oak, increasing the case size from 39mm to 42mm, adding thick gaskets, a crown trimmed with colored rubber, and round links and studs.

wrong start
The watch was supposed to be released on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak, but its oversized size was not internally approved and its release was postponed until the following year. However, waiting did not temper the response. “The scandal it caused when it was released was matched by its excess,” explains Raphaël Ballestra, Heritage and Archives Manager at Audemars Piguet. “But if the watchmaking world is outraged, young people will embrace it. Despite a rocky start, Offshore was a huge success and was very popular in the 2000s”.

yacht racing
From the sponsorship of motor sailing events such as the World Offshore Sailing Championships and the Audemars Piguet Cup, to the support of sailing teams such as the Alinghi America’s Cup and the Ladycat All-Women’s Sailing Team, Royal Oak Offshore has been intimate with yacht competitions for many years. Linked together, it reinforces its sporty character.

celebrity ambassador

White Ceramic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar

Mysterious rapper Offset wears the super hyped white ceramic 41mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. This timepiece features a white ceramic case and bracelet with a dark blue checkered dial and silver subdials.

About the watch

In 2017, Audemars Piguet debuted the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar, the brand’s first complete ceramic timepiece (plus a bracelet). Including its unique stealth design and sophisticated movement, it’s no surprise that this watch is a favorite. Audemars Piguet presents a new version based on the same design, perfect for summer, in all-white ceramic.

The Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar was therefore released before summer, perfectly fitting the design of the timepiece. It’s new, vibrant, and dazzling, with a dark blue dial that’s a bit nautical. This watch is a talking point for people who already own dozens of other timepieces and are looking for something unique and adventurous. The Royal Oak has never been a conservative timepiece, and this white ceramic model is the most unconventional.

In the case, white is not a color you often see. Most people are used to white metal. White, however, is noticeably brighter and brighter, and ceramic lacks the luster and reflections of metal, while maintaining a consistent, slightly matte color. Once the initial impression wears off, and this timepiece really makes an impression the first time you wear it, the result is a charming, unique watch with character. Unlike any other watch, the dial has significantly more contrast at this setting.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar has character and a certain sophistication, including its casual, sporty, summer style. Not the subtlety of Calatrava, but a glamorous, appealing elegance. Ceramic is very strong, scratch-resistant and lightweight, which means you can enjoy its lightweight, perfect white properties without the stress of scratches.

The Audemars Piguet features a classic blue “grande Tapisserie” dial with silver contrasting sub-dials (all in-house). White markers and bright materials in the dial and indicators complement the white case. The display is the same as all Royal Oak perpetual calendars, with the exception of the week number shown on the inner ring. QP complexity is done by day, date, month, leap year and moon phase (laser microstructure on the gleaming aventurine surface). A ceramic bracelet with a titanium folding clasp complements the ceramic case. It can withstand water depths of 20 meters (65 feet).

Caliber 5134 is more of a brother of steel and gold, powering this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar White Ceramic watch. Ultra-thin (4.31mm) mechanical movement with a diameter of 29.00mm and a power reserve of 40 hours. It has a variable inertia mass and vibrates at a higher frequency of 19,800 vibrations per hour. The finishes are extremely complex, with Geneva stripes, round textures and beautiful bevels. The rotors are equally beautifully decorated. Every 125 years and 317 days, the astrological moon needs to be revised.

Audemars Piguet announced CODE 11.59 in 2019.

From warm old wisdom to innovation

Audemars Piguet announced CODE 11.59 in 2019.

AUDEMARS PIGUET’s CODE 11.59 has been announced as a new collection since 1972, the Royal Oak designed by Gerald Genta, known in the watch world as Picasso.
Announced in the last year of participating in the SIHH (Geneva Salon) and became a hot topic. The Royal Oak is a product that begins to lead the digital generation that has never owned Audemars Piguet, with the aim of imagining a whole new style.

The design was done by creative designer Claude Emmanege. He also designed the Royal Oak concept. We draw inspiration from the museum pieces that Audemars Piguet has produced since its founding in 1875 and incorporate it into our designs. Just warm up the old and learn the new.

CEO Francois-Henri Benamias has been working on building the next-generation model to replace the Royal Oak replica since taking over in 2013, so it won’t mature into a core model that points to the company’s future direction. is not it.

The letters “CODE” in the model name correspond one by one,
C Challenge = Challenge,
O Own = Inheritance,
D Dare = Pursuit,
E Evolve = Evolution,
Joining the initials of the word makes “CODE” I am.
The number 11.59 refers to 11:59 pm at the end of the day, just before the new day.

Picking up AUDEMARS PIGUET’s CODE1159, the first impression is that the octagonal middle shell, the surface structure is extremely complex, and the shape of the carpet has been carefully polished and finely satin-finished, which is a target. In addition, the anti-reflective sapphire crystal with a double curved surface specially developed for this series is unique and playful.

Audemars Piguet is well represented in appearance with the challenge of the Code 11.59 challenge.

Combining machines with the latest machining precision and hand-finished by skilled craftsmen, the beauty of the structure can be beautifully expressed, even if complex, which is a remarkable point of Audemars Piguet watchmaking.

Weaving the outer surface of the case with various expressions at various angles and roundness has become a huge challenge even for skilled professional craftsmen. Each finished part is manually tilted like a mirror, with a polisher that lowers the corners of the surface and smoothes the edges. The more skilled the craftsmen, the more rounded and softer the curves they draw. Details such as the screws on the carpet are also carefully polished. perfect replica watches

The difficulty with angled finishing is to work evenly without breaking the harmony. Polishing and chamfering of the interior and exterior surfaces of the carpet, as well as invisible areas such as the interior of the carpet welded to the frame, are testament to the company’s technical prowess.

The prestigious Audemars Piguet factory, run by the founding family and not part of the main capital, is a free and unique artist who is not bound by preconceived notions or rules. While inheriting traditional Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship, hand-finishing technology takes the CODE 11.59 to a new level.

“To break the rules, you have to master them first.”

Master the mold. Break the mold.
