...and a bit on the ‘flashy’ side (from pix anyway).


This is one I would definitely have to see in person. 

Speaking of value, there are PP perpetuals out there selling NIB from well-established online dealers for well under retail. A local AD has a 5496P that is quite beautiful. If I were a serious buyer I’m sure there would be room to negotiate a significant discount if determined to buy from this particular AD. 

Just something to consider if one of your concerns is the high price of PP compared to the 11:59.

AP Code 11:59 collection perpetual

Hi all, not much being said about the new 11:59 collection, I’m looking at the perpetual with the Avertine dial. Personally I like what AP did with the case and lugs albeit others don’t seem to agree, at least yet. So to be specific, has anyone gotten one...  

I reviewed it here.

I seemed have missed this. Very good report, it looks as though AP has an uphill road right now and I’m not sure the Avetine dial will make enough difference for me to pull the trigger...JIm

if you speak about the RO PC I think people will react differently... just that it is too different 'face' of AP that everyone seen for years ! i like the lug design. Best, mahesh.,

yes the lugs are nice...Jim [nt]

But we all love variety and it’s the spice of life!

Had the chance to strap it on the wrist at SIHH .

Maybe the best looking Code 11.59 imo . ...  

The PC is maybe the best watch of the collection

Because it has the most interesting dial. In this respect, it really takes advantage of the great case design. Please note that the visual rendering due to the special glass may be disturbing. Sometimes, you really think that the dial is sloped! It is a w... 

You are right, the perpetual is really hypnotic but ...

I think they should have fit the cal. 5134 to a thinner case, the ultrathin movement is 4.31 mm while the case is 10.9, ok the new thicker glass but 6.6 mm over are too much, in my opinion.

Much appreciated

I’m going to look at the watch soon but I am hesitating to be the first on the block to buy one. I don’t think the boutique will discount it and I don’t want to take a bath...Jim
