While the 2019 debut of the Code 11.59 collection marked a change in Audemars Piguet’s conventional aesthetics, the best way to showcase the artisanship of fine watchmaking is by fully skeletonising movements, an Audemars Piguet signature since the 1930s. Although this model does not have a dial except for the black chapter ring with minute markers, it allows emphasis on the incredible tourbillon sitting right at 6 o’clock. In these magnificent timepieces, decades of traditional hard work and finishing techniques allow for the appreciation of the heart of the watch. In combination with the innovative construction of domed sapphire crystal, this complication can be admired literally from any angle.
While many factors separate this watch from others in the market, its case is visually unique and mechanically advanced. Comprised of three parts, each segment is hand-finished and made to perfection. With a brushed pink gold octagonal middle case and polished chamfers, it pays subtle homage to the iconic Royal Oak with a twist. When immersed with contemporary design, the final product is a classy yet decidedly stylish complication. Moreover, the present lot is further accompanied by a set of pen and cufflinks, ensuring this Code 11.59 will be a prized addition to any collection.
