New AP Code 11.59 Release 3G
- Thread starter Virpag
- Start date
Saw a gen Code this week, brand new at almost 60% off MSRP. It is actually quite elegant and has a signature look that identifies it as an AP Code. Almost wanted to get it but the cream dial is too feminine. I much prefer the colors of the dials of the reps above.
Hope this rep is good.

Much as AP continues to push this as a flagship model for the brand, and the facelifts and refinements done, the market continues to be lukewarm toward the product line. The secondhand market prices say it all, no matter how hard AP tries to shove this down the throats of their clientele.
I remember when I brought my first Royal Oak, I walk straight to the AD, demanded a 20% discount and walk out with the blue dial 15300 without any fanfare. The Royal Oak was not popular then. Who knows, one day the market will turn on these Codes ? Just need a few influencers in today's world.
I do not believe in “influencers” personally, always have made my own decisions on my own terms but I do understand the use of individuals from certain demographics to draw like-minded or similar people. But if a watch can’t sell itself, then for me it does not have true appeal. But to each his own.
The good ‘ol times have gone A and it’s fortunate you got your 15300. It is one of the most well proportioned AP IMHO. Congrats!
I like the Code 11.59 , and i'm happy that 3G is Repping them , altough i would love a Rep of the Code 11.59 Chrono.
That said, the RO has a unique Shape ; the Code 11.59 is too 'normal' (even if it is very peculiar), so this refelcts its popularity, or the lack of popularity...
This is a Gen Code 11.59 case
And these are the back of the different versions

I has been looking for blue code or black code with 4302 because the RO is too big for my wrist.
However, to manufacture the unique shape of the sapphire glass can be challenging.
