Audemars Piguet 38 mm Code 11.59 Collection

The intriguing world of horology is one where tradition meets innovation, where every tick is a dance of mechanics and aesthetics. As one dives into the heart of this world, the name Audemars Piguet resonates with a distinct echo that tells tales of tradition, craftsmanship, and a relentless quest for perfection. It's a name that has redefined what a timepiece can be, morphing it from a mere instrument of timekeeping to a statement of identity.



Audemars Piguet, the Swiss manufacturer of ultra-luxury timepieces, has a rich legacy dating back to 1875. With a lineage of crafting timepieces that are a marvel of precision and design, the brand has continually set benchmarks in the domain of high horology. Their journey from the valleys of Le Brassus to the wrists of connoisseurs worldwide is filled with tales of innovation, like the creation of the world's first minute repeating movement for wristwatches in 1892, a testimony to their pioneering spirit.

The Code 11.59 collection by Audemars Piguet is a testament to the brand’s mastery over horological craftsmanship and its desire to script the future. It’s where the age-old tradition of watchmaking embraces the zest of the modern era. This collection breaks the mold, with its design that resonates with both the heritage and the forward-looking ethos of Audemars Piguet.



With the unveiling of the new 38 mm case size in the Code 11.59 collection, Audemars Piguet celebrates the essence of individuality and elegance. Tailored for the slimmer wrists, the 38 mm diameter is a blend of meticulous design and vibrant aesthetics. The two debuting models in this size come in 18-carat pink gold, one with a vivacious purple dial and the other in a serene ivory shade, both encapsulating an embossed dial developed in collaboration with Swiss guilloché craftsman Yann von Kaenel.

The heart that powers these timepieces is the Manufacture’s latest selfwinding movement, Calibre 5900. With its slim 4 mm thickness, a high 4Hz frequency, and a 60-hour power reserve, this movement is a marvel of engineering and aesthetics. The embossed dial adorned with hundreds of tiny holes arranged in a wave-like pattern from the center outwards, gives off unique color effects, making each glance at the time a captivating experience.



The play of colors and light is a hallmark of this new 38 mm Code 11.59 collection. The choice of colors, the embossed dial, and the meticulous crafting of the case, all contribute to a spectacle that changes with every angle of light. It's a celebration of how the ancient craft of guilloché can blend with modern design aesthetics to create something truly mesmerizing.

Alongside the 38 mm Code 11.59, the unveiling also saw new entrants in the Royal Oak collection, bringing forth a palette of materials, from white ceramic to yellow gold adorned with sapphires. The 34 mm Royal Oak Selfwinding model in white ceramic illuminated by pink gold accents and the Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin shimmering with gemstones are a narrative of how material, color, and light can come together to script tales of elegance and precision.



The new 38 mm Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection is more than just a timepiece; it's a statement, a narrative of individuality, and a testament to Audemars Piguet’s legacy of crafting the extraordinary. It's where every tick is not just a passing moment, but a celebration of the blend of tradition and modernity, a testament to the boundless realms that horology can venture into.



As the hands of the Code 11.59 glide over the embossed dial, as the colors play with the light, and as the heart within ticks with mechanical precision, one can’t help but appreciate the journey of Audemars Piguet. From the quaint valleys of Le Brassus to the pinnacle of horological innovation, it's a journey that celebrates not just the passage of time, but the essence of what makes time beautiful.
