Making its auction debut, this Code 11.59 Special Edition with blue sodalite dial, one of only 50 pieces made, exemplifies the kind of gorgeous greatness that Audemars Piguet delights in implementing for their newest line.
Though inarguably simple, the white gold Code 11.59 Selfwinding takes cues from past designs in the Audemars Piguet archive and metabolizes them into something avant garde. The hollowed, downturned lugs, faceted mid-case, and Art Deco-inspired typography are seemingly disparate elements that combine into an extremely wearable wristwatch.
Made especially for the Japanese market, the blue sodalite dial is complemented by an outer lacquered blue ring displaying the minutes, and extremely discreet diamond indexes acting as hour markers. Consigned by its original owner in virtually brand new condition with its full suite of accessories, it is an exceptional opportunity to own an extremely rare modern limited edition from Audemars Piguet.
