Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Chronograph

Ref. 26393ST.OO.A056KB.01 – Contemporary Haute Horlogerie with Architectural Depth

The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Chronograph represents the manufacture’s modern vision of haute horlogerie—where traditional craftsmanship is reinterpreted through contemporary design and advanced engineering. Crafted in stainless steel, this reference balances technical complexity with refined wearability, offering a sophisticated alternative to AP’s more overtly sporty icons.

The dial is the centerpiece: a deep green lacquered surface enriched with an embossed concentric ripple motif that plays dynamically with light. Applied white-gold hour markers and slender hands provide sharp contrast and legibility, while the tri-compax chronograph layout is cleanly integrated for visual balance. A discreet date aperture at 4:30 maintains symmetry without disrupting the dial’s flow, underscoring Audemars Piguet’s attention to detail.

The 41 mm case showcases the signature Code 11.59 architecture—an ultra-thin round bezel framing an octagonal mid-case, finished with a blend of satin brushing and polished facets. The double-curved sapphire crystal, domed on both sides, enhances depth and clarity, while the sculpted lugs ensure the watch sits comfortably on the wrist. Paired with a green textile-effect rubber-coated strap, the watch offers a modern, versatile presence suited to both formal and casual settings.

Powering the chronograph is Audemars Piguet’s in-house Calibre 4401, a flyback chronograph movement featuring a column wheel and vertical clutch. Visible through the sapphire caseback, the movement is finished to haute horlogerie standards and delivers a robust 70-hour power reserve, combining technical excellence with everyday reliability.

Elegant yet contemporary, technically advanced yet understated, the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Chronograph Ref. 26393ST.OO.A056KB.01 is a compelling expression of modern AP—ideal for collectors seeking innovation, refinement, and unmistakable manufacture pedigree without excess ostentation.
