I've tried the blue one
Nothing more than a nice watch.
Like there are already many.
A nice colored dial can't change my mind, though the finishing is much better than the first release.
How many years did AP take to introduce it?
5?
8?
And they needed to show news dial to get some appreciation?
That's unacceptable, like the fact that they've forgotten the names of their founders.
Instead of breaking rules (Decency? Politeness?), they should first honor their past.
AP must light a candle every day to thank Genta.
P. S. I still love the RO (15202) but when a genius like Papi is at your service, I expect muuuuuch more.
Less marketing, more watchmaking.

The Audemars Piguet Code 11:59 with "burgundy" fumé dial.
The Code 11:59 was,without a doubt,the most controversial watch from 2019. We all know what happened and I am not going back to the story : everyone involved made mistakes, the brand,the media and the internet community. The regretful part were hate messa...
Phenomenal write up.
So would you say the dial is the best executed component of this piece?
Thanks,as usual with AP all parts are of a very high standard.
The case however is in a league of its own. Extremely complex and perfectly executed including quite a lot of hand polishing.
Thank you!
Thanks for your interesting post and write-up. I'm not 100% convinced yet, but I think AP is going in the right direction regarding the 11:59. And your watch is really beautiful. Especially the case!! You definitely "turned" me in the „pro-direction“. I a...
Thanks and whenever you will have the chance go and see the watch.
Btw, I am also a great fan of Endeavour Concept watch is high on my list.
Well, I did not get the Code 11:59 in view of another piece from AP.
It actually is my favorite piece from their current collection.

Thanks for your feedback although obviously I do not share your point of view.
Watch collecting is such a friendly passion: we should leave it this way.
You're welcome
A polite confrontation is the basic for a civil and, hopefully, insightful thread. If I had to choose a nice dial watch, with a nice movement and case, I'd go for the Cartier Santos with no hesitation. Just to name a worthy competitor. AP has missed the c...
I also do have the blue dialed Santos.
A very nice watch but overall quality is nevertheless miles away from the AP.
Initially I also wanted thicker hands.
Now I see them as an interesting and integral part of the design. Legibility is by the way excellent.
Looking swell...
Thank you very much for the write up and nice pics! Regards, Gerorge
Looking super noice and congrats!!
I think that the change to the dial made such a drastic change and the watch looks so different!! I am super excited for when all of their watches are availiable in two tones and then it would be even awesomer!!
These are wonderful photos
This watch is a technical tour de force and, for me, that strength is also a weakness. Your photography is fantastic and I can see why you love this watch, but I’m afraid it is not for me. The case is extremely beautiful on its own, but the combination of...
