I have had this new CODE 11.59 Starwheel a few weeks. I was extremely enthusiastic about the release and hoped it would mark my entrance into the CODE 11.59 collection. It has, and it is so spectacular in person, it might also mark my exit. Short of the U...
I only met the exit from the CODE collection. At least at this point, I would not buy another after the Starwheel, unless I hit the lotto and could order a Universelle. I would not wear any other model over this one. It is incredibly exciting.
I love to see how taken you are by this awesome Code. And of course youโre right, this piece spoils you for all other Codes available. Even compared to Universelle, this one has qualities that canโt be matched, IMHO. Very happy for you, and thanks for the...
And I think there is a large camp that does not care for the new Starwheel. I get that. I also credit AP for giving the new version an entirely different character than the originals have. One that is a perfectly executed in the CODE case. When you add th...
On a race track, a ballistic machine. That is where it really separates itself. An AWD BMW M5 Competition will smoke it to 60MPH, but on a track with curves, forget it. Cadillac's superior handling dynamics take over. And the 659 FT LBs probably help too ...
I personally wouldn't track a car like this or an M5 nor my AMG since I don't think any of these engines are dry sump and I fear risking some damage in the engine. But what a machine!
You should see the way the cars are beat on at Spring Mountain by novice - myself included - drivers. They are built to withstand the abuse. But the handling is just amazing.
There were dozens, and they are awesome! I had the chance to drive some earlier versions at Monticello in New York. I got sedduced by the Corvette C8 which turned out not to be a great fit for me; I would probably have been happier with the more usable Ca...
Congrats on this special Code. I gave up on AP now, having went thru their screening process, met at boutique and nothing, and itโs ok, I can spend my money elsewhere.
Truth is only a few have been distributed in the US. I was hoping another member could share it and I very well might have kept mine private for some time. The allocations are the same for other brands too. I'll never bother with a VC or FPJ, as I have ne...
It is really awesome, and the photos don't capture the magnificence of the piece. The play of light between the surfaces and finishes is really something to behold.
I must say itโs a show stopper . Beautiful watch and a right CODE 11.59 to start with . It looks great and as always you end up getting the perfect AP . Well done sir ! Looking forward to your in-depth review & wrist shots . Wear it in best of health !
I lovely weight and feel on the wrist. For me, as it is my first CODE piece, there is much to admire with the case, strap, and buckle. Incredible ergonomics by AP.
But possibly the only CODE I will ever have. That is all I meant above. But of course, we never know! And huge thanks for your heartfelt words, dear Peter. Means a lot to me
I have loved the case since it launched. But now I feel we have a fully congruent timepiece in the collection. The case just seems made for atypical complications.
At least for now, I would not consider another. But I suspect AP will tempt again in this collection. This is a very chunky purchase for me, the higher complications are well out of range. But I will not be surprised to see AP build off this successful de...
Congratulations Michael! This is indeed a spectacular piece from AP, and especially the Code series. Absolutely adore this watch and I do believe I am in agreement with you with that it fits the Code line better than both the Royal Oak and Offshore! Perha...
For my tastes, the Starwheel is far and away the most appealing model offered in the collection. But my love for the actual case was professed on day one, and all CODE owners can share that attribute. The dial on yours is fantastic. I was tempted by a chr...
The Aventurine is lively with sparkles as you roll the wrist. The play of light off of the mechanism is just fantastic. There is a lot of depth to the piece that no photos - mine or others I have seen - are able to capture.
