The Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 Chronograph, reference 26393OR.OO.A056KB.01, is a contemporary expression of the brand’s approach to high-end watchmaking. Featuring a 41mm 18-carat pink gold case, the timepiece combines sophisticated materials with the distinctive architectural design of the CODE 11.59 collection. Its multi-layered construction incorporates a round bezel, octagonal middle case and round caseback, creating a bold yet refined profile. The self-winding flyback chronograph further enhances its functionality, making this model a notable combination of modern design and traditional horological craftsmanship.
At the front, the watch features a striking green lacquered dial with a smoked gradient effect that transitions from a vivid green center to darker edges. The green counters and inner bezel complement the dial, while the pink gold-toned external zone provides an elegant contrast. Applied pink gold hour markers and hands, enhanced with luminescent coating, contribute to legibility in low-light conditions. The chronograph layout incorporates dedicated counters and a tachymeter scale, maintaining a balanced appearance while providing the functionality expected from a sophisticated chronograph.
The contemporary character continues with a green rubber-coated strap, carefully matched to the color of the dial. The strap provides a sporty contrast to the precious-metal case while offering a practical and comfortable option for everyday wear. It is secured by an 18-carat pink gold pin buckle, which complements the case and creates a cohesive transition between the strap and the watch. The combination of green rubber and pink gold gives the timepiece a distinctive blend of sportiness and luxury.
Turning the watch over reveals an open caseback that provides a view of the Audemars Piguet Calibre 4401. This self-winding movement features a flyback chronograph, hours, minutes, small seconds and date functions, with a column-wheel chronograph mechanism. Measuring 32mm in diameter and 6.8mm thick, the movement consists of 381 parts and contains 40 jewels. Operating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour), the Calibre 4401 delivers approximately 70 hours of power reserve. The 41mm case provides water resistance to 30 metres, adding a degree of practical protection while retaining the watch’s sophisticated construction.
The Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 Chronograph 26393OR.OO.A056KB.01 brings together an expressive color palette, precious materials and advanced chronograph mechanics. From its architectural pink gold case and gradient green dial to its matching rubber-coated strap and visible Calibre 4401 movement, every element contributes to its contemporary identity.
