Description of the Watch

The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Chronograph 26393CR.OO.A008KB.01 exemplifies modern Swiss luxury horology, designed for both men and women who demand technical innovation wrapped in refined elegance. With its 41 mm two-tone case in 18 kt pink gold and white gold, sunburst grey lacquered dial, and flyback chronograph complications, this timepiece is both a statement and a performer.

Overview

Launched in 2019, the Code 11.59 collection introduced a bold new case architecture round top and back, octagonal mid-case, and openworked lugs. The 26393CR model combines this striking design with the Caliber 4401 flyback chronograph movement and a modern rubber strap, appealing to discerning buyers looking for high complication and contemporary style. 

Design and Craftsmanship

The mix of polished and satin-brushed 18 kt pink gold for the case body and white gold for the bezel, lugs, and caseback, reflects subtle yet luxurious artistry. Under the double-glare sapphire crystal, the grey sunburst dial offers depth and contrast, enhanced by pink gold baton markers, hands, and chronograph subdials, all framed by a grey lacquer inner bezel.
