On October 18th, the official distributor of the Audemars Piguet brand in Vietnam, S&S Group, held an event to celebrate the 5-year journey of the Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet collection

Continuing the legacies of the past in a more pioneering and bold way.

Following the resounding success of the Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore collections, Audemars Piguet continues its mission to conquer the realm of time by researching and developing a new collection with a distinctive style and appearance.

In 2019, the brand unveiled the Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet collection at the SIHH (Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie) watch exhibition, featuring 13 new watch models, including Selfwinding, Chronograph, Minute Repeater Supersonnerie, Tourbillon, and Perpetual Calendar versions.

Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet is a sophisticated amalgamation of unique design and classic elements,” shared François-Henry Bennahmias, the former CEO of Audemars Piguet. The initial design of the collection received mixed reactions from industry experts and enthusiasts, as they were accustomed to the iconic octagonal case of the Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore.

However, what Audemars Piguet aims to deliver through this collection is a range of watches with functions ranging from complex to ultra-complex, featuring a round case complemented by a signature octagonal middle case, available in various materials and colors.

After an initial period of challenges, the Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet collection has gradually proven its identity and secured a strong position in the hearts of Audemars Piguet enthusiasts.

Challenge, possess, dare to confront, and evolve.

From the challenges that Audemars Piguet set for its artisans, based on the traditional legacies the brand possesses, to confronting difficulties and evolving, all of this has created a beautiful narrative about a collection that has inspired watch enthusiasts.

One of the most remarkable achievements of Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet is the development of increasingly complex features for the models in the collection. Notably, the Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet Grande Sonnerie Carillon Supersonnerie, Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph, and Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet Starwheel have all contributed to elevating the brand’s craftsmanship to new heights.
