On the 5th anniversary of the Code 11.59, UK best replica Audemars Piguet has unveiled seven new references, all in pink gold – the most striking of which is (arguably) the 38 mm Selfwinding with light blue dial. Here, we bring you the details and our honest opinion on this demure yet unmissable Code 11.59 Ref. 77410OR.
The Case, Dial, and Hands The new Code 11.59 Selfwinding in light blue comes with a 38 mm pink gold case. This isn’t the first time that the Code 11.59 comes in such a traditional size; the 38 mm range had actually made its debut last year and in pink gold as well. What’s different this time is just the colour of the strap and dial. The light blue of the new luxury replica Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding is arguably the most gorgeous colour variation released yet for the 38 mm line. Yes, it’s just a colour change, but this one just pops compared to the rest. The fact that it is 38 mm also helps it stand out among the myriads of time-and-date watches out there. While many brands have been introducing smaller watches in recent years, modern watches under 40 mm are still an uncommon sight. A return to classical sizing is a return to a time when watches complement – not overpower – its wearer. It is a little ironic that in this age of excess, smaller online fake watches have now become more eye-catching that its outsized counterparts. Combined with a light blue dial and alligator leather strap, the new Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding 38 mm is unmissable even from across the street.
There are no changes to the sandwich case and skeletonised lug design. The watch also comes with a second light blue textured rubber strap. Again, nothing else has changed relative to last year’s 38 mm debutants, especially not the dial. The signature embossed dial pattern was deliberately created to replace previous dials that were perhaps too sober for the collection. Meticulously engraved by hand, the base dies used to strike the dials feature a pattern of concentric circles like ripples on water. These circles are adorned with hundreds of tiny holes that play with light. It’s a shame that the dials are stamped and not handcrafted, but at the volume that high quality fake Audemars Piguet handle annually, the latter is impractical and a naïve notion. These dials are finally coloured by method of PVD.
The Movement Driving the Code 11.59 Selfwinding 38mm is the 188-part, 29-jewel Calibre 5900. This is one of cheap super clone Audemars Piguet’s newer movements, first introduced in 37 mm Royal Oak models back in 2022. Measuring only 26.2 mm x 3.9 mm, the automatic movement is delightfully restrained in size but packs a respectable 60 hours of power reserve while operating at 4 Hz.
The Calibre 5900 is visible through the sapphire crystal case back. It feels a tad too small even for the 38 mm case of the top copy Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding, but there is no doubt about its finissage. The usual adornments are present: Geneva waves across the bridges, polished screw heads, perlage on the base plate, polished bevels, and a skeletonised winding mass, among other things.
For something contemporary with a similar level of finish that isn’t the Code 11.59, look no further than the Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5226G. The Ref. 5226G with its textured charcoal grey dial, beige lume, and fabric pattern-embossed strap is undoubtedly a modern Patek Philippe creation. Yet, at the same time, design elements like the syringe hands, the Clous de Paris pattern on the case flanks, as well as the classically finished movement remind us of the Calatrava’s rich past. Priced at USD40,420, the Ref. 5226G is significantly pricier than the AAA replica Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Selfwinding. While it can be argued that the former is a more nuanced piece, whether it is worth a USD10,000 premium is ultimately down to the buyer.
Audemars Piguet brings their tradition of wandering hours first shown in their Starwheel to the Code 11.59 collection.
Le Brassus, December 2022 – Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacturer Audemars Piguet is delighted to present its new Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Starwheel, AAA replica watches that combines black ceramic with 18-carat white gold. Invented in the 17th century, wandering hours are a type of horological complication that display the hours using a system of satellites that gravitate along a minute scale arranged in the form of an arc. This aesthetic presentation of the hours and minutes brings a certain mystique to the reading of time. After falling from favour in the 20th century, this system was rediscovered and reintroduced by Audemars Piguet in 1991. Named the Starwheel, this unusual mechanism equipped many models up until the early 2000s. Today, the Starwheel is making a comeback in the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection, whose ultra-contemporary design highlights this fascinating display while also paying tribute to a relatively unknown classic in Haute Horlogerie complications.
WANDERING HOURS IN AN ULTRA-CONTEMPORARY DESIGN
From the 17th to the 20th century, the beauty of the wandering hours complication laid in a mysteriously hidden mechanism. Reinterpreted by best UK Audemars Piguet fake watches in 1991, this complication revealed in all its splendour with its mechanism visible on the dial.
The new high quality replica Audemars Piguet Starwheel watches launched this year is a continuation of the models from the 1990s and is housed in the ultra-contemporary Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet case, whose architectural lines are enhanced by the wandering time display. The architecture of the case is reinforced by the overlapping of geometric shapes, including a round bezel, caseback and Starwheel discs as well as a rounded octagonal case middle.
Blue aventurine serves as a shimmering backdrop for the three discs that rotate on their own axes, like planets in the tiny universe of the dial. The three slightly domed discs are made of aluminium and are tinted black thanks to a PVD treatment, before being adorned with an opaline sandblasted finishing touch. The white wandering hours numerals are then transferred onto the dial. Following the contemporary design, the 120-degree minute sector, which extends in an arc from 10 to 2 o’clock, and the inner bezel, are both black with white minute indications.
PLAYING WITH MATERIALS
This new 41 mm perfect copy watches plays with materials by combining aventurine with 18-carat white gold and black ceramic. This diversity of materials as well as the refined hand finishing – a signature of the Manufacture, which creates an infinite play of light – underscores the complex design of the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection. In addition to this, the 18-carat white gold bezel, lugs and caseback contrast with the black case middle and the new black ceramic crown.
Like the gold components, the ceramic case middle is meticulously finished with the iconic interplay of polished bevels and satin-finished surfaces. Furthermore, top Audemars Piguet replica watches artisans have used their expertise to achieve the perfect alignment between the multiple angular and round surfaces of the case, which is only possible thanks to their manual craftsmanship.
On the dial side, the double-curved sapphire crystal magnifies both the numerous details present in the blue aventurine and the finishing of the various elements, while also bringing increased depth to the dial. On the back of the 1:1 wholesale super clone watches, the sapphire crystal reveals the beating heart of the movement, as well as the 22-carat pink gold oscillating weight dedicated to the collection. This new reference is fitted with a textured black rubber-coated strap and a new pin buckle engraved with the Audemars Piguet logo, instead of the usual AP monogram.
A STARWHEEL MOVEMENT
IN THE CODE 11.59 BY AUDEMARS PIGUET COLLECTION
For the very first time, the emblematic Starwheel display is integrated into the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection fake watches shop site with the selfwinding Calibre 4310. This next-generation hour, minute and seconds movement is directly derived from the Calibre 4309, to which a new module has been added. Combining watchmaking technology, traditional know-how and refined decorations, this movement has a minimum power reserve of 70 hours and is water-resistant to 30 metres.
The time display is achieved thanks to a central rotor operating a complete revolution in three hours and on which are fixed three aluminium discs that turn on their own axes. Each disc has four digits from 1 to 12 that take turns in pointing to the arched sector at the top of the dial on which the minute scale is printed. The 18-carat white goldtrotteuse is slightly curved at the tip to follow the relief of the discs, indicating the seconds like in a traditional timepiece.
A TRADITION OF TIMEPIECES WITH WANDERING HOURS
The wandering hours system can be traced back to the 17th century following a special request from Pope Alexander VII. Suffering from insomnia that was aggravated by the ticking of a clock, he ordered a “night clock” from the Campani brothers who were clockmakers based in Rome. He requested a clock that would be silent and easy to read in the dark. The Campani brothers presented the Pope with the first wandering hours clock, where the time was read on a semi-circle in an aperture that indicated the quarter hours and was lit from the inside. This night clock was the precursor of the wandering hours system.
From the end of the 17th century, this complication was introduced into pocket replica watches for men without backlighting. While the arc-shaped aperture still measured 180 degrees, the minutes were graduated in addition to the quarter hours for greater precision. During the following century, these luxury fake watches were offered as prestigious gifts, often bearing the effigy of famous personalities.
In the 19th century, the popularity of the wandering hours complication started to wane. The timekeepers that were produced at this time presented a sector of 120 degrees to facilitate the reading of the time. The quarter hours disappeared along with the small window for the hours, although the display remained mysterious as the mechanism was still hidden. The 360-degree wandering hours version made an appearance at this time too, although it was gradually replaced by the jumping hour that was to become typical of the Art Deco period during the first half of the 20th century.
In 1989, an Audemars Piguet watchmaker rediscovered the wandering hours system in an article in the Journal suisse d’horlogerie. This was a period of increased creativity as the industry was seeing a revival of mechanical watchmaking. In 1991, after 18 months of development, the Manufacture’s first wandering hours watch was presented (Ref. 25720). Named the “Star Wheel” – probably in reference to the three stars that support the sapphire hour discs fixed on a large central wheel – the top replica watches broke the mystery of its operation by revealing the mechanism.
Between 1991 and 2003, around 30 “Star Wheel” models were produced by the Manufacture in several different collections. These aesthetically creative timepieces varied in design with the arc-shaped aperture present in different lengths and locations, some of which also incorporated gemsetting and openworking. By reintroducing the wandering hours system, Audemars Piguet paved the way and opened a new chapter in 21st-century watchmaking.
Today, with the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Starwheel fake watches for sale, the Manufacture is reviving this little-known complication as well as paying a highly contemporary tribute to traditional watchmaking.
Ceramic is an interesting material for watchmaking for several reasons. Firstly, it is scratch-resistance thanks to its extreme hardness. It measures nine on the Mohrs scale, just after diamonds which have the maximum ten rating. It is also strong – up to three or four times more resistant than stainless steel – and it is lighter than both steel and titanium, increasing its potential in watchmaking even more.
The ceramic fabrication process is also quite different from working with metals and other materials as ceramic high quality replica watches components can be pre-formed into a wide range of shapes and sizes before being baked at over 1,400oC, milled and polished. And one of the most interesting features of this material is that it can be produced in a wide variety of colours, taking creativity to new limits of expression.
Audemars Piguet may not be the first to use ceramic, but instead of using it in the creation of sports best UK fake watches, like most brands, it is using it to bring a highly contemporary touch to some of the Manufacture’s most sophisticated complications. Let’s take a look at five of the latest releases.
