Audemars Piguet answered that call in 2023 with the 38mm version of the
Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding collection, expanding the automatic time-and-date lineup that had previously been available only in 41mm (or 42mm, if you include the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet RD#4 Universelle). The slight reduction in size does nothing to diminish the impact of the collection’s distinctive case architecture.
The octagonal mid-case is nestled between a slim round bezel and round case back, paired with open-worked lugs and a dramatic double-curved sapphire crystal, creating an interplay of geometry that rewards a second look. The dial, meanwhile, features a finely executed pattern of concentric circles punctuated with tiny grooves that catch and scatter light with every movement of the wrist. The balanced proportions of the 38mm case find an equally harmonious companion in pink gold.
Since its debut, the collection has paired the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet’s contemporary silhouette with a spectrum of modern hues. Now, two new additions introduce perhaps the most timeless palette yet.
