Following the recent regional launch of CODE 11.59 by Audemars Piguet, the Swiss haute watchmaker is now shining its focus on the self-winding model.
For the first time, Audemars Piguet presents a collection designed for both men and women, with an arched ergonomic 41mm diameter case.
The collection’s highly-recognisable case presents an octagonal middlecase embedded within a round caseback and bezel. Only welded to the extra-thin bezel, the openworked lugs add a degree of complexity. Satin-brushed, chamfered and polished, the bezel, lugs and case present refined finishing techniques usually found on calibres.
The self-winding model with hours, minutes, seconds and date indication features a lacquered dial enhanced by a gold case, an applied gold 3D Audemars Piguet signature made in galvanic growth, as well as curved gold indexes and Arabic numerals.
The watch is powered by a new selfwinding movement, calibre 4302, featuring a dedicated 22-carat gold oscillating weight. The movement operates at 4Hz (= 28,800 vibrations/hour) and has a power reserve of 70 hours.
Four variations are available: two pink gold models with either a black or white dial, and two white gold models with a blue or black dial. Straps are hand-stitched ‘large square scale’ alligator in brown, black or blue, with white or pink gold pin buckles.
