The lacquered dials of the latest Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding models are enlivened with rich smoked colours and a state-of-the-art sunburst pattern conveying light and movement. The lacquer’s smooth finishing further radiates refined nuances depending on the angle from which the watch is seen.
The red shades of the burgundy model are elegantly contrasted with an 18-carat white gold case and white gold hour-markers and hands. Conversely, the deep colours of the purple and blue models are illuminated by 18-carat pink gold. Each model comes with a dedicated alligator strap matching the colour of the dial for added character.
Timeless, refined, and versatile, the two-tone models are embellished with grey sunburst lacquered dials in light or dark shades. The 18-carat pink gold octagonal middle case subtly enriches the white gold case and lugs, while highlighting the watch’s multifaceted architecture. Hour-markers and hands in 18-carat pink gold add an additional glimmer of colour.
The seamless alternation of satin-brushing and polished chamfers has become Audemars Piguet’s trademark, accentuating the case’s complex geometry while adding a pleasing play of light.
With their selfwinding mechanism, 70 hours of power reserve and water resistance to 30m, the 41mm Selfwinding Chronographs and Selfwinding date, hour, minute and second models are all suited to an active lifestyle.
