The 38mm Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59

The 38 mm Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 series automatic watch offers the best fit for slender wrists. The new watch diameter design enriches the existing 41mm and 42mm watch lineup of the CODE 11.59 series, and is used for the first time in two new 18K rose gold watches. Although the two watches are more compact in size, they continue the aesthetic essence of the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 series.

The case of the Audemars Piguet replica watch consists of an ultra-thin bezel and a round bottom with an octagonal case middle embedded in it. The lugs have a unique shape, the top is welded and fixed to the bezel, and the lower edge cleverly fits the bottom of the watch. The extremely modern case adopts the same exquisite finishing treatment as the brand's self-made movement, showing an alternating light and shadow effect of satin brushing and polished chamfering, which further highlights the multi-faceted structure of the case. Continuing the new detailed design introduced in this series earlier this year, the crown groove is shallower but more eye-catching, further highlighting the complex beauty of the case geometry.

Both watches adopt the new dial design of the CODE 11.59 series. The dial's embossed pattern presents a striking gradient structure, developed in collaboration with Swiss machine-engraving master Yann von Kaenel. The new dial is decorated with hundreds of tiny grooves, forming a cascading wave shape that spreads outward from the center, creating a unique glossy effect. The purple and ivory tones of the two dials are produced through the physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, which highlights the depth of the relief pattern and sets off the rich changes of light and shadow. The new hour markers and hands are faceted and polished to contrast with the dial pattern. In addition, the hands are covered with a fluorescent coating, making it easy to read in the dark.

Each watch is equipped with a large checkered alligator leather strap of the same color as the dial, and is equipped with the series' new 18K rose gold pin buckle, which is engraved with the words "AUDEMARS PIGUET". In addition, Audemars Piguet boutiques will also launch ivory and purple rubber-covered straps with calfskin lining and textured patterns. The two new modern watches are equipped with Audemars Piguet's latest generation self-winding movement Caliber 5900 with hours, minutes, seconds and date display. The Caliber 5900 movement will debut in some 37 mm Royal Oak series models in 2022. The thickness of the movement is only 4 mm, the frequency is 4 Hz, and it has a 60-hour power reserve.
