What do you do when you have a legendary icon of a watch but want to create something new and fresh that still upholds your brand's stature? That's exactly what Audemars Piguet did in 2019 with the introduction of the still-controversial Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet. But should it be?
Through clever use of design, materials, colors, and highly complicated movements, the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet has evolved significantly from its initial perception. It is now quite exciting for many reasons.
A closer look reveals a complex and fascinating case design, along with an exceptional level of detail and decoration. The Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet serves as a canvas for extreme creativity, exemplified by the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Ultra-Complication Universelle (RD#4) with a total of 23 complications.
Now, five years on, the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet is becoming one of the maison's prominent icons and will continue to be for many years to come.

The starwheel is amazingly beautiful, even more on the wrist.. This aventurine dial with the black ceramic mid-case and black discs make such a great mix. They make the wandering hour quite romantic imo

I have the lacquered blue chrono 11.59. At first, I didn't understand it, but after taking ownership of it, it's a breath of fresh air. The slight details such as the octagonal sides pays homage to the royal oak. After wearing it, I see it as more of a modern hybrid dress/sports watch. Doesn't have to be categorized as a dress watch. And to all the 11.59 owners -- kudos to yall!

This watch is a stunner on the wrist which is pleasantly surprising! I just picked up the Code Starwheel a few weeks ago!!

These are fantastic watches. Updated dress watches for a modern time. I kinda feel like much of the hate is that they are not traditional like a Patek, VC, or Lange. If i had the money these would certainly be on my buy list

I must be an oddball because I would rather have one of these than the RO.

Great review! Most people with a negative opinion about the Code have never seen one in person or tried one on. IMO, it’s a great watch collection that still maintains the DNA of AP’s commitment to watch making and aesthetics. It is definitely not a Royal Oak substitute. Wait a couple of years and the naysayers will be the first ones to say that they loved the offering all along 🙄

The issue with the code 1159 is that the 3-layer case construction while having the octagonal mid-case that creates limitations on reducing the case thickness. When we talk about dress watch, or semi-formal watch, sub 10mm case thickness in 39mm width is preferred. The positioning of this watch, somehow smart casual i will say, is a bit difficult to gain support from either sport watch or dress watch fans. I think AP needs to re-evaluate the positioning of code 1159. However, after the Re-Master 2 introduction this year, it is somehow a good, new product category that AP can work harder on in the future.

They are wonderful. Bought the blue steel chronograph and it is outstanding in its design. A much more interesting watch than the Royal Oak.

I suppose the RO impression on people has made it hard for AP to be innovative. If it was another brand that came up with code 11.59, I'm sure the views maybe different. But kudos to AP for trying to bring a different style to their signature RO, so that a variety of customers can enjoy their watches. IMO, I think AP also wanted to let people into their waitlist by having customers first purchase the code before they are offered the RO. This move also helps AP secure certain part of the watch market. Though people dislike the idea of spending to be in the waiting list but then again if everyone were able to just waltz in and buy their products then I'm sure the hype will die down and people won't appreciate their watches as much 😅

Code owner here & I didn’t even buy it to get an RO either, not everyone can like the same thing & it funny the hate that these models get cos if the celebs & sports people start wearing these & the gray market pops then all the flippers will start their frenzy, slate these all you want but I seem to recall you could pick up a PP Nautilus from Costco at discount & AP RO & even PP aquanauts were not sought after, regardless I purchased mine to wear & cos I actually liked it ref n.o 15210BC.OO.A002KB.01 😛

@mahmoudghoneim8004 7 ай бұрын

I believe that the biggest flaw is the very thin bezel which leaves a very big dial , its weakest angle is from the top view angle , otherwise the case design is great .

@alwaleedalthani9624 2 ай бұрын

Though thebCode11.59 didn’t hit the road running , but I think though it may never hit the highs of the Royal Oak or Offshore but it will have it’s niche in the market

I love this watch, it just suffers from 'It's not a Royal Oak.' and that's not me saying it, but it's just the way it is. I didn't even know there was a two-tone precious metal, that thing looks beautiful. Commented before I saw the Universal. It looks a bit undecided, but it could just be the leather strap. It's sporty in nature, but the tourbillon, the date and indicators kinda make it sort of 'Grand comp'ish', idk. Looks nice, but I think it needs the sporty, woven strap in black, imo.

For starters the "code 11.59" name is just horrible in my opiniuon. The watch itself is not that bad looking, however all that said if the Royal Oak didn't exist but since it does I'm not interesed at all in it. Not mention that it doesn't hold its value

When you compare these dress watches to old dress watches from AP, you understand how much AP is disrespecting their fans and customers. It’s a lazy watch to say the least. They could have shaved at least 2-3 mm off the thickness of this watch before they can demand such prices for them.
