About this watch

Glass: No Water Resistant: Dust Proof Only Dating to 2019, this Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 table clock comes from the inaugural year of the Manufacture’s ambitious CODE 11.59 collection, launched at SIHH in January 2019. The collection represented a significant new chapter for Audemars Piguet, with “CODE” standing for “Challenge, Own, Dare, Evolve” and “11.59” evoking the final minute before a new day. Echoing the distinctive architecture of the CODE 11.59 wristwatches, the 65mm stainless-steel case combines rounded and faceted forms with contrasting polished and brushed surfaces, complemented by a rich navy-blue dial. Particularly charming is the sculptural wooden presentation stand, designed specifically to cradle and display the clock at an elegant angle, turning the timepiece into a small piece of functional design. Adding considerably to its collector appeal, these CODE 11.59 table clocks were not commercially offered to the public but were gifted to important Audemars Piguet clients, making this early 2019 example an unusually scarce piece of the collection’s history. The clock is powered by a quartz movement, and incorporates an alarm function, chosen for reliable and precise timekeeping in its role as a refined desk and alarm clock. The movement, dial and case are signed by Audemars Piguet, completing what is an unusually distinctive piece of the Manufacture’s modern history: a rare client-gift object created to accompany the debut of the CODE 11.59 collection rather than a timepiece intended for conventional public sale. Circa 2019, this Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 table clock is in overall excellent condition. Offered with the original box and papers, as well as a 24-month Vintage Watch Co warranty.
