AP releases a storm of pink gold Code 11.59’s and this Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding Chronograph 41 mm in black, green and blue are the latest with a chronograph complication. For now, available in three colors, in 41 millimeters, with a pink gold case, and with the new Code 11.59 dial.

For sure the new Code 11.59 Selfwinding 38 mm models are very interesting, and so are the new Code 11.59 Selfwinding 41 mm models. But this new Chronograph hits the top of these new pink gold models. It also has the concentric circled dial with tiny holes for special light effects. And here the dial is coated with either black, green or AP’s “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” blue color. A hue straight from the first Royal Oaks. A cool color, however, the two other options look great too.

The differences of the dial of the ref. 26393 are subtle

The dial of the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding Chronograph 41 mm has an inner bezel, in the same color as the dial. Except for the blue version. There the inner bezel with tachymeter scale is grey. Same for the counters at the 3 and 9 o’clock position: a grey outer zone for the blue version, and gold for the black and green versions. More gold can be found on the indexes and hands, both with luminescent material.

The small seconds counter at 6 o’clock follows the dial color as well, again except for the blue version. That one has a grey small seconds counter. And to make it even harder to choose your favorite, the black version has a black ceramic case band and crown. It looks a little sportier compared to the green and blue version.

The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding Chronograph 41 mm Black & Green & Blue Nuit have a power reserve of 70 hours

Inside thicks the Audemars Piguet caliber 4401, a beauty on itself. It’s rather large, offering more space for precision and safety techniques for the movement. It’s perfectly finished with Côtes de Genève decorations and more, while a 22-carat pink gold oscillating weight ensures it keeps running. The power reserve of 70 hours is more than sufficient.

The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding Chronograph 41 mm Black & Green & Blue Nuit comes on a color matching textured rubber strap. The pin buckle is 18-carat pink gold.
