Introducing a Modern Horological Icon

The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 collection represents a bold and contemporary statement from one of watchmaking’s most revered maisons. This reference 26393OR.OO.A616CR.01 is the epitome of this vision—a sophisticated chronograph that masterfully blends avant-garde design with traditional haute horlogerie. Crafted in warm 18-carat pink gold and adorned with a mesmerizing blue dial, this timepiece is destined for the collector who seeks both technical prowess and unmistakable presence.

Architectural Brilliance and Materials

At the heart of its design lies an architectural triumph. The case features a unique construction where an octagonal middle case is seamlessly suspended within a round bezel and caseback, a signature of the Code 11.59 lineage. This complex, multi-faceted structure is polished and satin-brushed to a sublime finish, creating a captivating play of light. The 41mm diameter offers a commanding yet ergonomic wrist presence. The integrated lugs and the exquisite, fluted crown and pushers are all crafted from solid 18k pink gold, ensuring durability and a cohesive aesthetic of luxury.

A Dial of Hypnotic Depth

The true soul of this watch is its breathtaking blue lacquer dial. Achieved through multiple layers of hand-applied lacquer, it possesses an almost infinite depth, shifting from rich navy to vivid azure under different lights. The applied pink gold hour markers and iconic Audemars Piguet logo provide perfect contrast. This dial serves as the stage for the chronograph’s precise functions: a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock, and a central chronograph seconds hand. The subdials are elegantly snailed, while the date discreetly appears at 4:30, maintaining the dial’s sublime symmetry.

Performance and Craftsmanship

Powering this masterpiece is the self-winding Calibre 4401, a cutting-edge integrated chronograph movement visible through the sapphire crystal case back. It boasts a substantial 70-hour power reserve, a column wheel, and a flyback function—all hallmarks of superior chronograph engineering. Every bridge is meticulously decorated with Côtes de Genève, polished bevels, and gold engraved lettering, showcasing the artisanal craftsmanship expected from Le Brassus. This movement is not just an engine; it is a work of art designed for performance and longevity.

It is equally suited for commanding the boardroom or elevating a formal evening.
