The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 has been a hot topic of debate since its debut in 2019. To be fair, like other references throughout history such as the Royal Oak, this series did not gain immediate unanimous approval among watch enthusiasts.
- Due to the great expectations for the release of this watch and the active marketing campaign launched after its introduction, the standards of the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 were raised to such a high level that it was subject to strict scrutiny. Of course, as a work of Audemars Piguet, it inevitably sparked huge discussions.
- However, after balancing social media sentiment, the considered opinion seems to be that the series has its quirks but is also a real basis for potential growth. In the years since, the series has continued to evolve with improved designs and watch faces. At the high end, looking at their skeletonized and high-complexity references, the model’s promise becomes increasingly clear. The only thing left to address is bringing the entry-level model of the range up to spec, and now it appears that the holy trinity of manufacturers has done just that with Audemars Piguet’s new stainless steel model, the Code 11.59.
- Previously, the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 was limited to precious metals. The introduction of steel material allowed the watches to be sold at a lower price, making the series more accessible to newcomers to the brand. The steel version of the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 is available in six configurations, including three time and date models and three chronographs. Each watch comes in the same three dial/strap colorways: blue, green, and smoked beige.
- I mention these dial colors upfront because the blue and green models have 41mm stainless steel cases, while the smoked beige model continues AP‘s trend of pairing metal with ceramic—with black ceramic for the middle case and crown. From a manufacturing perspective, the complex structure of the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 case took some time to develop, but the result is exactly what we’ve come to expect from the collection.

The packaging box has several layers inside and outside, which is very exquisite and ensures the safety of transportation. The watch I saw in Kent Watch Shop is more than ten thousand dollars more expensive than this one. I really can’t afford it, so I bought this watch, but they did not disappoint me.👍👍👍👍

The logistics is fast and the packaging is also very good. I opened it and put it on after receiving it. This watch is different from the ones I bought before. The price is cheap and the quality is better than before. I like it very much.

I am an ordinary citizen of Montgomery, so it is not bad to buy such a watch. After all, it is not very expensive, so the requirements are not that high. I just like it when I wear it.
