Back to Code basics
Really enjoy this one with it case construction and dial depth. ...
The interesting thing is that it can only be fully appreciated when one sees it in the metal.
Online pictures are underwhelming.
That’s one incredible timepiece.
I particularly admire the strap, I think it’s superb!
You know, I also really like the straps on these!
I guess a leather strap could work on this, but I like the character of these woven looking straps.
My favorite dial of this version
Credit for breaking it out so soon after receiving the 16202!
I think i’m just going to stare at the 16202 from afar for a couple days before I actually wear it…
like I need to become acquainted with it first.🤣 Or I’ll dress up special for work and wear it in that context.🤔 Yes, I’m overthinking this.
Beautiful and in my opinion they have a great centre of gravity
They sit well and the code is my favourite in the current lineup of AP watches
I don’t know if it’s because the RO is so ubiquitous or because I like the Code direction (eg Starwheel)…
but I find myself starting to like Code so much that I may even favor that in the future! What I would love to explore is vintage AP, especially PC pieces.
Love the complexity of this dial...
Certainly the contrasting dials and markers really stand out! Looking forward to the next versions. Peter
Totally agree…
these recent pieces make me eager to see what comes in future, even more than ROOs.
Congratulations, that's a great looking watch.
I've always liked the Code 11.59 (apart from the name!). They always look much better in the metal and the dials and revised hands on these latest steel versions are an improvement. All the best, Jon
Exactly as you say…I didn’t fully appreciate until I saw it in the metal.
Thank you for your kind comment.🙏🏽
Codes are stunning
After all the debacle, the codes are standing on their own feet and the updates look is gorgeous!
