And so after a long evening of evaluating the pros and cons of acquiring a CODE..
Following the feedback of many members of this group I followed my heart and purchased the CODE 11.59 Perpetual Calendar with the blue Aventurine Dial. I must say it was not an easy choice - as others have shared, there are very polarising views on the CO...

Thanks for your note!
Definitely the black ceramic has received an incredible amount of guilty wrist time - as it does withstand desk diving and daily wear quite well! I am hoping that 2021 will bring many new pieces by AP with this excellent material Cheers, Peter
Years from now...
...you will look back on these threads where you question the purchase and be amazed that you had any doubt: this is a stunning piece, early in the run, and will become a legend. The value will be there and you won’t take a bath unless you try to sell it ...
Really nice and thanks for your note!!
Waking up today without a single qualm of the decision made. Now I’m in pure enjoyment mode and have really recognized better the unique shape of the sapphire crystal! Appreciate your words and have a great day Peter
Many thanks for the feedback...
Yes those hands do seem thin but perhaps leave more real estate to enjoy the dial! In any case, you can tell by the case alone that the models are family members - perhaps cousins... I still have to hand it to AP for having figured out a very aesthetic mi...
Yes - it seems like a nice combination...
And simulates a night sky very well. I also think that given the modern look of the watch, coupled with the modern font used and the modern look of the moon phase is quite harmonious. Maybe 5 years ago I was not really big into moon phase watches but toda...
Many thanks for your note!
Extremely happy and looking forward to your next AP Cheers, Peter
Glad that you dont look back. I think this is a lot watch for the money, too.
So no regrets, enjoy!

I know exactly what you mean and it’s on point. Congratulations on the acquisition. You have conviction in your choice and that’s most important. There are so many aspects of this line up that are appealing, and I think I said this on day one. The case fo...
Thanks for the note - perhaps I’ve been reading too much about cars lately...
But the thinking resonated with me too! I appreciate your comments - conviction and commitment is even more important these days. Interestingly enough, I was a little bit of a crossroads with my collection journey over the last few months - considering wh...
Whoops - got cut off early...

Thanks MichaelC
Appreciate your kind words. Growing the AP family again and very happy about it! Funny enough - it wasn’t until I took the picture of the trio that I realized I had “diversified” my AP collection to represent the Royal Oak, Royal Oak Offshore, and then th...
