Countdown to Elegance: Audemars Piguet Unveils New Royal Oak and Code 11.59 Perpetual Calendars

There’s a palpable buzz in the world of horology. Audemars Piguet, the revered Swiss watchmaker, has given fans precisely what they’ve been clamoring for - a reimagined Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar and Code 11.59 with a modern twist. Born of the brand’s iconic Calibre 7138, these anticipated watches now sport a sleek 38mm case and thicknesses of 9.9mm and 9.4mm respectively, presenting a much more classical and practically wearable proposition.

A closer examination reveals the surprises of the innovative Code 11.59. Retaining the week indicator, it presents a highly contrasting look. What’s fascinating is the utilization of the 7138 in a slimmer incarnation showcasing a water resistance of 100m. Furnished with a rose gold case, its aesthetic is heightened by green embossed counters, shaped and hollowed lugs, 18-carat pink gold hour markers and hands adorned with luminescent material, and a snailed green inner bezel. This creative license brings to life a visually arresting timepiece reminiscent of the Green Bay Packers’ color palette.

As a nod to Audemars Piguet’s rich history, both models are released in a limited edition of 150 each, featuring an historical logo on the moon-phase display in lieu of the traditional serifed block logo, and a 150th Anniversary logo on the caseback. These quintessential dress watches, now available in smaller sizes, are set to enthrall spectrum of new customers.

In the words of master horologists, ‘On request, reveals the best’. So watch just This Space, for the imminent revelation of price details.
