Unveiling the Diamond-Encrusted Elegance of Audemars Piguet's Smallest Tourbillon

Published: 27 Feb 2025
Audemars Piguet releases a riveting revamp of the stigmatised Code 11.59 series, presenting a diamond-dusted, ornamental 38mm tourbillon timepiece.

After a tumultuous beginning, the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 series has successfully metamorphosed its image. Through consistent enhancements and design entrenchments, coupled with a wider range of presentations, the infamous reputation of Code 11.59 continues to dissipate within watch connoisseur circles. The introduction of the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon 38mm watch marks another milestone in the amplified journey of this iconic series. The timepiece, boasting a more compact and ornamented profile, serves a double whammy - a classic showpiece on its own, and a potential roadmap for the evolution of the Code 11.59 family and the Audemars Piguet lineup in its entirety.

Beyond its mechanical intricacies, the Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon 38mm watch maintains a refined monochromatic style. Embracing a restrained canvas, the watch exhibits a sophisticated sand gold PVD dial, infusing a tasteful charm into its identity. The audacious texture work by the brand combines an oversized outer chapter ring and a main dial surface engraved with the series’ signature ‘ripple’ texture. This timepiece, sparkling with diamonds and featuring a signature tourbillon complication, is a testament to Audemars Piguet’s relentless pursuit of combining innovative movement with graceful design.
