it's the watch that doesnt look good..no matter how you paint it
The Code 11.59 is one of the watches that you SHOULD go see in person...i saw it years ago, in the AP Boutique (Sardinia) .
In person, is really something, a lot of details, the shape of the case, the double curved glass, the exquisite finishing.... on photo all of that seems a bit...meh .
In the flesh, it is totally different. It is HIGH END, you can feel it.
This is the Case...it is not an 'usual' or a 'cheap' case.
.
Of course, the Rep will be a lot different...but i assure you , in Gen form is really something.
Of course, being an AP, it was a semi-flop.
Like the Millenary, the Jules Audemars, the Edward Piguet, the Carnegie...everything that it is NOT a Royal Oak, it will be a FLOP.

I'm a bit obsessed with animated .gif
Anyway, back in topic, i really do hope somebody (maybe me ?) will pull the trigger on this 11.59 Rep...for sure i wonder how the double-curved glass and the particular case shape will be Repped, anyway,,,
The code 11.59 is a model which I’ve kept a couple in my collection, and yes they were “stepping stone” purchases as opposed to watches I’ll regularly wear.I'm a bit obsessed with animated .gif

For me it’s a watch which is appreciated far better off the wrist rather than on it. The various details can be appreciated much better without actually wearing it.
I can assure you the rep will get all the essential details wrong as usual. You’re right it’s a watch which is meant to show off the craftsmanship of AP but sadly none of those astounding details translate to desirability when wearing the watch.
What a wonderful answer!
I totally agree with you, anyway it is a 'better' timepiece that usually is not appreciated by many...
Anyway, I completely agree with you.
And also the vast majority of AP buyers it seems, both in Gen or Rep form.
