discreet elegance

Apr 07, 2023,18:09 PM
 

There are amazing details everywhere you look. As others have noted with the Code, it takes a few close encounters in person to grow into it: from trying the purple code and Bronze two tone at the main GVA boutique last year to most recently. In the eyes of this beholder, this iteration checks the boxes (batons markers, date window, hands, rehaut, finishing,etc. attributes Audemars is known for). Overall the green casts a discreet elegance that is just right. The size doesn't bother me as the proportions provide a good sense of balance overall (which so important and actually very hard to achieve in any timepiece).

This one keeps growing on you for sure. It has to be seen in the metal. Very different style obviously from RO and ROO and even the gold Codes.

Congratulations!

Out of this world

More out of this world. It is a steel in green. I browse yesterday or Wednesday a lot of codes at ch24. I could not find a green dial, but maybe i filtered on gold and palladium codes. A white gold in green, i am curious if AP made that.

thank you!

what is the material?

the literature says rubber and leather

what is interesting is the contrast of "forest green" stitching and details over against a paler "pine green.' Perhaps they evoke the tree species present in the area (specifically the famed forêt du Risoux). the darker perhaps represents the "epicea" (No...

The CODE case needing atypical dials. Your watch shows exactly what I mean. It looks so much better than a normal flat dial would. Like it was made for this case! What a novel idea ;-)

the guilloché dial creates its own balance and it seems to work!

Lovely Code

Still wish they chose a different name than Code, but they have really come into their own these past year, and this piece is no exception - lovely time piece! Wear it in good health mate!
