Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Self-Winding & Self-Winding Chronograph Watches
It's hard to make something new. It's especially hard to make something new when you're breaking away from nearly forty years of reliance on one of the most iconic designs in the history of watchmaking. Such is the weight on the shoulders of Audemars Piguet, who just unveiled a massive new modern collection called Code 11.59 designed to do just that.
