APSF 15210st Code 11.59 with 4302 super clone movement

[puretime]

The first 1:1 replicated AP Code 11.59 15210st with super clone movement.

One more thing, as I said in another post, APSF has the 4401 super clone movement, so next year they will also launch the code 11.59 chronograph series too.

Finally some good Code releases. Doesn't look amazing but thats not ASPF 's fault but AP's

Hi Angus,

APSF will bring its 4401 clone movement also to the Royal Oak Chronograph?

^^^^ This.

It looks like a great rep of an underwhelming gen.

AP is still trying to shove the code 11.59s down the clientele’s collective throats even today, and pushing it as the flagship model line, with words like “revolutionary”, “exquisite craftsmanship” and most importantly “in short buy this first if you ever hope to get a Royal Oak at retail you bitch”

Well barring the top of the line models like the star wheel model and the tourbillons, the rest of the run of the mill models have really been meh for me, and I’ve sold the ones I owned as soon as the resale prohibition period ended.
I tried to like them and connect with them but I can’t get past the fact that the AP DNA seems to be deeply buried in the code 11.59s and subtly exhibited, rather than put on display to create desire and excitement.
So be it rep or gen, it’s a pass for me. I’ll leave it to someone who can appreciate the details and craftsmanship better.
I’ve said this before and I still mean it:
It’s a watch which is appreciated far better off the wrist than on it. Yes the details are impressive but none of it translates to actual desire on the wrist for me.

Congrats APSF for at least pushing the replica game further instead of the 1 billionth Rolex release.

Excited to see the chronograph that they release as well.

If only they would focus their efforts on ALS instead of the AP Code 11.59.

You can now get an almost brand new Code 11.59 for 60% off the MSRP and indeed, I am tempted.

This release offers a low-cost / low-risk trial of the actual watch before plunging into the depth.

@puretime .... if there any plan for APSF to release the Code 11.59 with the latest signature embossed dial pattern ? The lacquered dials you show have been proven to be unpopular.

If they get around to make a rep of this would be nice.

What an ugly watch. Looking forward to better looking AP reps from APS.

 

[OffshoreNL]

Please rep some 43mm offshores with a clone movement instead.

 

[Virpag]

Please rep some 43mm offshores with a clone movement instead.

It would be nice hopefully after the new year

Please rep some 43mm offshores with a clone movement instead.

Yes, I am still waiting. Rumors have been circulating for months that there will be both a 43 Offshore and the RO Chrono with clone movement this year. And a good new RO Perpetual Calendar from APS was also announced.

Interesting release, but the Code 11.59 still feels like a love-it-or-hate-it watch. Props to APSF for pushing the boundaries with the 4302 super clone movement, but honestly, I’d rather see their efforts focused on RO Chronos or Offshores with clone movements.

That said, for anyone who likes the Code, this rep is a solid way to test the waters before committing to the real deal. Let’s hope the rumored 43mm Offshore and other RO models drop soon!

 

[Horace_Derwent]

Glad they repped this instead of a Rolex, anyway my favourite dial colour was the Burgundy, just to give it a bit of personality...

The Chrono is more beautiful , let's see if they will rep even that...

 

[serumdiesel]

Very impressed with what APSF has been doing in the rep game and this is no exception. I hope they release some of the other colors but, regardless, can’t wait for the chronograph references.

I have seen a few Code 11.59 with the signature embossed dial and I must say, it is unique and has a character to it. Can't describe it as stunning but indeed alluring. That is the same feeling I have for the Royal Oak when I picked up my 15300 some 25 years ago when it was not that popular then.



The green dial is my favorite of the lot.

Some more details of this embossed dial pattern:



Have not seen this before in any official release but it is interesting :

You mean a real RO QP unlike the BBR one from earlier this year?

 

[Pedalo]

There must be a market for this one now or why would the bother, doesn't it always come down to what the biggest market wants? Otherwise we would see reps of the Omega's etc that people have been requesting for ages. The embossed dial sets it off nicely but is the crystal replicated accurately as I thought that is a big part of it.
