Since its inception in 2019, the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection has been designed to appeal to a new generation of watch enthusiasts, while maintaining the brand’s core values of craftsmanship and technical excellence. With its modern aesthetic and sophisticated engineering, the collection has become a significant part of Audemars Piguet’s portfolio, reflecting the brand’s ability to evolve and innovate.
Let’s reel it back to five years ago. I remember being in the auditorium at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in the Winter of 2019 when Audemars Piguet announced the launch of the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet. The brand unveiled then a striking lineup of 13 new references (along with three new calibers) that collectively exhibited a design that was refreshing and, I daresay, avant-garde of the Manufacture. Quiet gasps rippled across the room as a slew of new Selfwinding models and Chronographs, a Minute Repeater Supersonnerie, Tourbillon, and a Perpetual Calendar were presented to us. At first glance, our eyes were caught by the complex geometry and contemporary aesthetic of the case design. This very structure, composed of an octagonal case within a round bezel and caseback which included an intricate sapphire crystal, became home to new in-house calibers, including high complication movements.
While the audience was buzzing from excitement from the impressive number of new watches, it was also in recognition that we were witnessing a brand-new chapter that was unfolding before our very eyes. It was history in the making.
