Audemars Piguet

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 to the dark ceramic component.  So it all makes sense, and is beautifully cohesive!

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 wrist. It is really a special piece, and truthfully, the photos do not capture these emotions.

Fresh and exciting!

Your pictures do the watch justice!!

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 sharing this!!!! 🤤🤤🤤

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!

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
