Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 15210OR.OO.A099CR.01 Selfwinding

Audemars Piguet's Code 11. 59 is now available in stainless steel

At last the Code series can be found in stainless steel (with or with out ceramic).

Launched in 2019, the controversial Audemars Piguet Code 11. 59 assortment has undergone some radical evolutions over the past few years. Not just talking about adding every possible complications, the classic models - time along with date and chronograph -- have been improved by adding brand new smoked/gradient dials. But as involving now, the collection is mostly obtainable in white or rose gold, without or with ceramic trim. Not anymore, even as now have Code 11. fifty nine watches in stainless steel, accessible in three hands and time counter, with new dial habits and colors making them sportier and even more casual. 6 references in whole, including 2 bolder gradients and ceramic elements. Let's take a take a closer look.

The initial year of Code 11. 59 was tough... the discharge wasn't as successful needlessly to say, and the response to the watch has not been overwhelming. The reason could be the quite sleek dials offered from the first models. Still, this timepiece itself has some very interesting characteristics, such as a complex and amazing case (at least in the side) and reliable fresh in-house movements - such as long-awaited integrated chronograph activity. But the exterior isn't attractive enough. Things changed any time AP decided to spice some misconception with gradient dials, two-tone cases, or ceramic lean, enhancing the complex gradation of the cases. But most of them are mostly made of gold... high-priced, heavy and too conventional for some.

That changes this current year with the introduction of the Code 11.59 steel type. Six reference models, supplying time and date and chronograph products, feature new dials throughout cool colors and livelier textures. What remains may be the shape of the case, which is still one of the most complex in the brand's portfolio. Consisting of stylized skeletonized lugs, an ultra-thin board, an octagonal case center, and a curvature extending via 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock, understated at first glance, it's better from the side. Now made from steel (for the frame, lugs, and caseback), the final is equally impressive, incorporating brushed surfaces with hand-polished accents. Models with beige dials add a case midsection and a black ceramic top for more contrast. Unfortunately,

One of several benefits of using stainless steel is far more comfort thanks to the lighter weight material. All models remain 41mm in diameter, with a density of 10. 7mm to the time and date models and 16. 6mm for the chronograph. Naturally , steel will be more durable underneath everyday conditions of use. To advance enhance the casual style of these types of models, AP has loaded its Code 11. fifty nine watches with some textile-patterned silicone and leather straps, sealed with a pin buckle, in addition to colored to match the switch.

When it comes to watch faces, that's where the real improvements are made. Long gone are the flat lacquered watch dials and slim hands as well as indexes. All six stainlesss steel models, albeit in different colorings, feature new patterns in which liven up the timepieces. Typically the dial has a wave style with concentric circles. These are typically obtained through a stamping course of action, but their creation will be the result of a collaboration while using guilloche artisan Yann von Kaenel. He hand engraves the basic stamp with swells and hundreds of small slots. So even with the press, the level of detail on the call is quite impressive.

These Code 11. 59 by Audemars Piguet stainless steel models come in three different colours. Initial up is the brand's common Bleu Nuit, the Dénudée 50, found on the Royal Oak Jumbo. It's joined with the chronograph version's dark dreary inner rim and diverse gray counters. The second coloring is stylish khaki eco-friendly, and the chronograph features corresponding flanges and rhodium-plated counter-top indexes. Finally, the unit with contrasting ceramic aspects on the case features a slope beige dial that starts reviewed in the center and insipide to full black in regards towards the outer edges. The stop-watch adds black contrast about the counter. Note that the inner flanges of these steel models can also be redesigned. It's wider, using smoother slopes and a better minute/second track.

Another advancement on the Audemars Piguet 11. 59 steel version problems the hands and hr markers, with new lengthy hour markers replacing the actual Arabic numerals of the platinum version. All elements are generally wider, faceted and now get illuminated inserts. The employed branding remains and is manufactured from gold. On the 3-hand product, however , the date has become moved to the 3 o'clock position and is framed by way of a metallic element.

However , zero changes can be seen on the inside of these kinds of new steel cases. Some time and date models will still be powered by the in-house grade 4302, an automatic movement which has a 4Hz frequency and a 70-hour power reserve. The chronograph maintains the impressive integrated wathe movement 4401 with section wheel and flyback. Apparent through the sapphire case back again, these movements are wound by a sturdy pink gold oscillating fat, beautifully decorated.
