The Audemars Piguet 11.59 is a combination of past and future, boldly challenging the design team to produce an octagonal watch inside a round case while retaining the all-important aesthetic and balance.
To achieve this, new tools and techniques were developed by Audemars Piguet; especially for the Code 11.59. The experimental thinking is an architectural achievement. The optical view is enhanced by the double sapphire curved crystal, which refracts light to play with depth to create a unique visual experience.
The typography is also exquisite, using a 3D printing like process called galvanic growth, to set the letters in gold on the surface of the dial.
