Code 11:59 (2020 versions)
Described by Audemars Piguet as "the most important launch since the Royal Oak in 1972", the tongue-tying Code 11.59 (as in, "one minute to midnight") had a lot to live up to on its 2019 launch. Using genuinely new case architecture and a crystal that curved on two separate axis, you could see why AP hailed it as radical a design as the Royal Oak's iconic octagonal case and integrated metal bracelet. Code 11.59 didn’t convince everyone, and a new-for-2020 palate of colours is a welcome update. The focus is on sunburst lacquered dials in rich colours including blue, burgundy, purple and light and dark grey. All come on hand-stitched alligator straps matching each dials colour and, like the original run of 11.59s, are intended for both men and women.
