Holy cow! Code Starwheel!!!
Hi all,
It's been a while since I last posted, but upon browsing around it seems that AP delivered yet another surprise!! A Code Starwheel!!
Just amazing and super happy that AP has decided to bring this incredible model back! I had assumed this would be some kind of Remaster, but lo and behold it becomes a full fledged model for CODE.
Well done!! What are people's thoughts?

Probably not to everyone’s taste but…
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 !

I like the aventurine and the fact that they are expanding their offerings.
A step in the right direction! This one though is not my cup of tea.
Immediate impression, favourable! Love the colours, assume it's a black ceramic mid case. Strap is off imho,,,
I love the creativity
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
And some of us here we’re just thinking about the star wheel on the Code! Fantastic :-)
Just visited their site, amazing! Cool videos and more photo angles. Yes, black ceramic mid case with white gold. 10.7mm also sounds nice.

I like it
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,

Bet it looks better in the metal
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.
It’s a nice Code surprise…
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.

Yet I do prefer monochrome dial (non aventurine).
The aventurine is amazing but I am just not for it.

It is absolutely Magnificent.
I have been trying to post additional photos for you all, but am having some difficulty. We will get them up ASAP.
Not bad, but
The second hand and seconds indexes fill the dial (isn't 41 too big perhaps?), as well as the brand's name.
Clever move to balance an otherwise hollow dial.
I don't even look at the price, AP plays in its own league.

Nice idea but could do with some re-design, especially the font. Seem kinda stark and cold.

Well, hmmm, NO. Urwerk makes a way more appealing watch (to me),
Even the Xeric looks nicer in its 1500$ watch....
I'd prefer AP to focus on improving the poor reliability of their current models rather than working on newer ones. but that's a huge elephant in the room no one likes to talk about....
That's what I wanted!
The star wheel is my favorite AP, the big size is not to my taste but I like that they brought this icon back
Need to see it in person first but for now and looking at the pics i am not a fan tbh
Aaah finally, a Code which receives a dial as exciting as the case. Till this one, I loved the case, but never found a dial which pleased me 100%. Now the dial is as daring as the case!
What a dial! What a case! What a watch!
Well done, AP. Well done. It's been many years I wasn't so excited for an AP novelty.
Best,
Nicolas
