Audemars Piguet

A current release which pleases me quite a bit. This is the AP I enjoy. ...  

That’s my favorite Code 11.59. Best, V.

Alas, those play in another league on cost of entry.

AP really did a great job with this one.

I like this ref 👍

I have not posted it much.

The 0-60 minute track runs across the top of the dial. So in the first photo, it is 1:41. Once it hits 1:60, the hour numeral 2 will aligned on the left side at 00.

I wonder could there ever be a downsized Code line? Like the 37 and 39mm RO’s

The lugs sit inside the edges of my wrist. They are short and angle down. Wonderfully ergonomic. Here is a quick shot. ...  

I want to add the strap to other non-APs, but need to confirm how it attaches (as in could it be used with a normal springbar).

Very nice. Enjoy!

It will likely remain a rare sight for a while.

The one feature I questioned about this piece was the dark oversized discs, which I wondered why they didn’t make lighter or transparent even like in older models. HOWEVER, when I saw them in your side shot, I understood that they are nicely complementary... 

The way the ceramic case walls wrap into the black inner bezel is just fantastic. All suspended within the structural white gold frame. At the risk of sounding a bit corny, it is like this frame has captured a chunk of outer space and contained it on the ... 

Fresh and exciting!

Your pictures do the watch justice!! Best, Gerard

And after seeing that dreadful Royal Oak release a day ago with whoever that designer is - I needed to post this Starwheel to refresh on how awesome AP can be too.

Are there any special details missing on this piece? Novel movement, ceramic components, aventurine dial, precious metal, skeletonized case, domed crystal, seconds hand, automatic movement - wow!! No surprise it is the most desirable piece. Thank you for ... 

You know them well as a CODE owner, but I am very pleased with both. The strap texture really looks great with the Starwheel.

Thanks very much for the pics on this gorgeous, hypnotic timepiece Michael.

I'm excited to see what else lands in this case... I know others are coming. Other material combinations too. Maybe tantalum suspended in titanium? I would not count it out.

In this contemporary 11.59 case a joy! The only thing I would change: Instead of a I, I would shoose a 1. Looks a a bit empty at those places…

I was unsure about the inclusion of the seconds hand. But truthfully, it is not so readily apparent on this watch, and the little bit of animation is nice.

I still remember being in DC on holidays in 1989 and the starwheel was on discount at Neiman Marcus if I remember well. Too bad I was just a freshman at university 😜

I don't believe I have ever encountered an older Starwheel in the wild. Seen at the AP facilities for sure, but never out and about. Sure would love to.

I find this watch stunning, too big for my scrawny wrist though.

My first CODE 11.59 piece, and I am very impressed with AP's case design and finishing.

Absolutely gorgeous and unique in its own right!

Bravo to the manufacture for giving us a whole new option.

I know that the initial release of this series sort of bombed but I really think that the iteration of the new dials and models (this being a perfect example) really made the series become something that is really attractive!! Cognrats on a lovely watch

In general, I feel the CODE case calls for atypical dials and complications. The first dials seemed so traditional, and a "programmatic non-fit" to the case (excuse the verbiage, with the new NFL season around the corner, I think Brad Childress' statement... 

But yes it is exactly like what Brad Childress said 😜🤣🤣

I would have to research the specifics, but as I recall, the Minnesota Vikings cut their star receiver in an unexpected fashion. The coach's explanation was because the player was a "programmatic non-fit". I had never heard that before, but again, I someh... 

but dont know what a star receiver is, is that someone who like receives a star ? lol 😆 😂

That sums up most NFL "star" receivers

And I will report back.

I'll post separately about how awesome the strap and buckle are. I am extremely pleased with these important components.

Magnificent time piece! I would love to see it in different colours too, but the black against the blue is so very beautiful! I love what AP has done with the code collection and I am very much looking forward to see what’s ahead. Wear it in good health m... 

Might be a while before new versions come out, but I sure can dream of some options!

....but I honestly anticipated Starwheel would be nominated for this year's GPHG

Quite deservedly so, IMO. I know I wrote years ago when the CODE collection launched that is should be the platform for a Starwheel. And here it is. But I am sure I am not the only one who thought it. It is just the perfect case for the timepiece.
