Audemars Piguet AP has finally launched a new size of CODE 11.59 series watches – 38mm. Neither arrogant nor losing its sense of presence, the first two colors – aristocratic purple and ivory white – have become a new favorite among collectors of small watches with their exquisite appearance.
Neutral size, fashionable color matching and simple design, suitable for both men and women, are the charm of CODE 11.59 series watches.

Since its launch, the CODE 11.59 series has been famous for its original multi-layer case structure, which is composed of an octagonal watch body (middle case), an ultra-thin bezel and a round bottom cover, with a stainless steel welded to the bezel. The special shaped lugs are full of details, but they are well integrated, showing the unique delicacy and elegance of a formal watch. Although the diameter of the watch is slightly larger at 41mm or 42mm, it does not lose its elegant posture. Now a new slightly smaller size is launched, which is more suitable for watch fans with slender wrists.

Small diameter watch chain with exquisite texture
Size has always been the first battleground for watch brands. In the 1990s, 37mm was considered a relatively large and common formal watch size. It was more substantial and popular with many men. Later, the popular style evolved, and watches with no size above 41mm were considered slim. Now the CODE 11.59 series has launched a 38mm watch style, which is a bit of a tribute to the classics. The watch as a whole creates an elegant texture. Following the debut of the stainless steel model of this year’s CODE 11.59 series of Universalelle ultra-complex watches (RD#4), it turns to precious metal materials. The entire series uses 18K rose gold watch cases, with aristocratic purple and ivory white rippling surfaces, and crocodile leather straps of the same color as the dial. The new colors add a lot of color to this year’s upgraded new design.
The new rippled surface has a gradient visual sense, which is a new result of the collaboration between Audemars Piguet AP and Swiss machine-engraved engraver Yann von Kaenel.

The rippling surface and the new movement show exquisite craftsmanship
The biggest highlight of the new work is the lifelike rippled surface, which was jointly developed by Audemars Piguet AP and Swiss machine-engraved engraver Yann von Kaenel. This eye-catching new gradient pattern design is like throwing a stone into water, with ripples forming in waves, just like CODE The 11.59 series self-winding 38mm rose gold watch caused a topic as soon as it was released. It continues to ferment in the heart as you watch it, making people unable to take their eyes off it. The dynamic pattern gradually ripples outward from the center of the surface, creating a three-dimensional sense of movement. Whether it is noble purple or ivory white, PVD (physical vapor deposition) coating technology is used to maintain its stamped pattern and highlight its three-dimensional effect. Then the light shines on the pattern through the curved mirror, and the watch is rotated lightly, allowing the light and shadow to undulate repeatedly, which is beautiful. The rippling dial is paired with a “large checkered scale” crocodile leather strap of the same color, and an 18K rose gold pin buckle engraved with “Audemars Piguet”. The simple color scheme is quite neat and is the ideal choice for contemporary watches. Elegant appearance.
The CODE 11.59 series is a 38mm small diameter model, equipped with a new generation of lightweight automatic winding movement.
