The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding Chronograph represents the bold evolution of one of the manufacture’s most contemporary collections. Introduced as part of the ongoing refinement of the Code 11.59 line, this stainless steel chronograph with grey dial and signature blue accents stands apart as one of the most visually striking and difficult-to-find modern AP references.

Executed with architectural precision and powered by a state-of-the-art in-house movement, this reference is designed for collectors who want something confident, unconventional, and unmistakably Audemars Piguet.

A New Chapter in the Code 11.59 Story

In 2023, Audemars Piguet expanded the Code 11.59 collection into stainless steel, introducing a new design language defined by stamped ripple-pattern dials, gradient tones, and ceramic-inspired detailing. This evolution continued with refined grey dial executions accented by the iconic “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50”—a historic AP color first seen on the Royal Oak.

The result is a chronograph that feels modern and aggressive, yet meticulously finished and deeply rooted in AP heritage.

Architectural Case, Dynamic Finishing

• The 41mm stainless steel case retains the Code 11.59’s signature architecture:
• Openworked lugs
• Slim round bezel
• Octagonal case middle
• A striking interplay of brushed and polished surfaces
• A double-curved, glareproofed sapphire crystal enhances legibility while adding depth to the dial, and the sapphire display caseback offers a clear view of the beautifully finished movement. Despite its complexity, the case maintains a refined 12.6mm profile, ensuring strong wrist presence without excess bulk.

A Dial That Commands Attention

The grey embossed dial, developed in collaboration with master guilloché artist Yann von Kaenel, features concentric ripple patterns that come alive under changing light. Deep blue accents elevate the design:

Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50 inner bezel
Blue external zones on the chronograph counters
Blue running seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock

Applied 18k white gold hour markers and hands, filled with Super-LumiNova, ensure legibility day or night, while a discreet date display blends seamlessly into the refined aesthetic.

In-House Chronograph Excellence

Powering this timepiece is Audemars Piguet’s integrated flyback chronograph calibre 4401, a modern benchmark in chronograph engineering.

Sporty Luxury, Refined Comfort

The watch is paired with a grey textured rubber strap, leather-lined for comfort, and secured by a stainless steel pin buckle. This combination reinforces the watch’s sporty character while maintaining a refined, luxurious feel.
