Description of the Watch

The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Chronograph 26393CR.OO.A008KB.01 is a watch that 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.
