Brand-New Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Complications

The creator of many sought-after icons, Audemars Piguet decided to push the envelope in 2019. The manufacture debuted the bold new Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection, a range of sophisticated timepieces that bear very unique aesthetics.

“Code” is inspired by modern lingo and the current trend of shortening words in millennial speak. “11.59” is meant to remind us that Audemars Piguet is always ahead of the game, constantly on the brink of tomorrow.

The technicality and precision of Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet timepieces showcase the brand’s multiple talents in the field of complicated watchmaking. Audemars Piguet played a pioneering role in the invention of complications in the 19th century with the release of the first chiming wristwatch. The brand was a pivotal part of the revival of complications in the 1970s and 1980s, by presenting future icons like the ultra-thin perpetual calendar of 1978 and the first tourbillon wristwatch of 1986.

The debut Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection comprised 13 new references, six new models and three new calibers. These included a perpetual calendar with aventurine dial, a flying tourbillon, a chronograph, a minute repeater Supersonnerie, two openworked tourbillon watches, and watches with a date window between the “4” and “5” hour markers.
