The Future in Form: Audemars Piguet's Code 11.59 Collection

Launched in 2019, Code 11.59 is Audemars Piguet's boldest collection since the Royal Oak — a forward-facing design family built for the next generation of collectors. The collection's name reflects a moment before transformation: 11:59, just before a new day begins. Visually, it is defined by its unusual geometry — a round dial framed by an octagonal midcase, an interplay of polished and brushed surfaces, and complex double-curved sapphire crystals that catch the light from every angle. Within, the watches house some of the most sophisticated in-house movements AP has ever made. Code 11.59 is not just a break from the past — it's an entirely new chapter.

Contemporary Vision: The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Collection

The Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection reimagines the format of the luxury wristwatch. Introduced in 2019, it represents a bold step forward in form and function — with a distinctive round/octagonal case design, avant-garde use of materials, and an array of sophisticated complications. For collectors seeking innovation and craftsmanship in equal measure, Code 11.59 stands apart.

Design Language and Materials

Each Code 11.59 case is a masterclass in geometry — pairing a round bezel and caseback with an octagonal midcase that nods to the Royal Oak's design lineage. Slender, stylized lugs and double-curved sapphire crystals enhance its multidimensional look. Materials range from classic 18k white or pink gold to bold two-tone ceramic-and-gold hybrids, as seen in the Code 11.59 41mm Stainless Steel and Ceramic Automatic .

Models and Complications

The collection spans from time-only automatics to complex haute horlogerie pieces. Notable offerings include:

Dials come in graduated colors, fumé finishes, or skeletonized treatments, with lacquer or enamel work applied by hand. Complications include perpetual calendars, minute repeaters, tourbillons, and flyback chronographs — all integrated into Audemars Piguet's new-generation movements.

How It Compares: Code 11.59 vs. Millenary

While the Millenary collection shares a similarly avant-garde spirit, it leans toward asymmetry and classical inspiration. Code 11.59, on the other hand, is futurist and architectural, with a focus on sharp geometry and clean symmetry. Both collections break from convention, but Code 11.59 does so with a resolutely contemporary tone.
