Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Starwheel

I personally like it, actually it’s the first CODE I’d consider on my wrist so far..! A lot of interesting things on the dial, adding some attractiveness to the case which seems to me too bland and not very well proportioned with the less complicated versions imo. (But I still prefer the Millenary Star Wheel) Thank you for sharing !

A step in the right direction! This one though is not my cup of tea.

In general I like the code. I just wish it were 38mm because with that case shape it would wear like a 40mm. Now it's a 41 that wears like a 43

The Code is flawed, but there's a lot of beauty amid the conflicting signals. That might be why I spend more time thinking about it than I spend on conventionally handsome alternatives. And the Starwheel is one of the my all-time favorites. Taste varies, but this suits mine on multiple levels. $57,900? I'm tempted, but the resale history of AP dress watches begs some patience while these work their way to the secondary market. Best, Tim

I think the central seconds is a strange addition. That doesn't kill the watch for me, because it's a fun complication and AP has a nice history with the Starwheel. The minutes track and the outer chapter ring appear to be angled and the wheels too are not flat. I'd bet the depth effects makes it look a lot better in person than it does in flat photographs.

I don’t know how the original looked, but this is a dynamic dial with nice aventurine detail and no date. Plus, it’s surprisingly easy and clear to read the time. I wonder what exciting future Code releases will come over time.
