History and Significance
The Code 11.59 collection marked a pivotal moment for Audemars Piguet when it debuted in 2019. Rather than revisiting familiar ground, AP introduced an entirely new design language that blended classical watchmaking with modern construction. The case architecture is the defining feature. From the front it appears round and traditional, but a closer look reveals a complex multi-part case with an octagonal mid-case inspired by the Royal Oak, seamlessly integrated beneath a thin bezel.
The reference 26393CR represents the chronograph variant in a white and rose gold configuration. The use of mixed precious metals gives the watch depth and contrast without leaning flashy. The vignette black dial adds further dimension, transitioning subtly from the center outward, and reinforces the modern character of the Code 11.59 line. Inside is Audemars Piguet’s in-house automatic chronograph movement, showcasing the brand’s continued focus on technical independence and finishing standards.
Over time, the Code 11.59 has become increasingly appreciated for what it set out to do: establish a contemporary flagship that stands apart from the Royal Oak, both visually and philosophically.
Writer’s Thoughts
This is a strong configuration of the Code 11.59 Chronograph. The white and rose gold case wears elegantly and feels balanced on the wrist, while the black vignette dial keeps the watch grounded and versatile. It works equally well as a daily luxury chronograph or as a more understated formal piece. The open caseback and modern movement finishing add to the enjoyment for anyone who values mechanics as much as design.
Our Promise
Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. Each piece is offered in honest condition, ensuring collectors receive a timepiece that reflects both originality and integrity.
