Why We’re Absolutely Obsessed With Audemars Piguet’s New Watches

From complex lacquered dials to a palette of deep colours, this luxury brand is simply king when it comes to haute horlogerie…

Coupling together their out-of-the-box creativity alongside their technical mastery, Audemars Piguet has released five new Selfwinding and five new Selfwinding Chronograph models as part of the Code 11.59 collection.

Aside from their self-winding mechanism, the watches have 70 hours worth of power reserve and can resist water for up to 30 metres — perfect for those of us who lead an active lifestyle!

Designed for both men and women the Code 11.59 is endowed with an ergonomic curvature, allowing it to complement all wrists despite its wide diameter.

With an octagonal middle case, a round extra-thin bezel and stylised lugs, the unorthodox case design elevated the ancestral hand-finishing techniques to new heights with more details than meet the eye.

“The development…came with multiple technical challenges,” says Lucas Raggi, Development Director for Audemars Piguet.

“The synchronisation of their developments…brought an added complication, which we managed thanks to the relentless hard work of numerous people from different horizons. It was an unforgettable human adventure.”

A revolutionary addition to the world of horlogerie from the oldest fine watchmaking manufacturer, Audemars Piguet are uniting tradition and contemporary lifestyle in this vibrant collection which testifies to their groundbreaking creativity and state-of-the-art technical proficiency.

As they say, “Born in Le Brassus, raised around the world.”
