Why I no longer understand Audemars Piguet's hatred of Code 11.59 Time to move on and take an objective look at the latest models.best quality replica watches
What do you do when you want to launch a new collection and a truly legendary collection that has redefined luxury watchmaking? Do you tweak a design and pray it doesn't get any scorn for looking too much like your precious icon? Or take off in a completely different direction altogether, find new inspiration and break new ground in terms of design? Either way, it's sure to be a tough sell, but Audemars Piguet took a gamble when it launched the Code 11.59 series in 2019. Very different from the famous Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore, but somehow it didn't capture the hearts of collectors and enthusiasts. Is it really that bad? Is it still so bad to this day? No, then, let alone now, watches like the Code 11.59 Universelle clearly demonstrate that. Code 11.59 has come of age through the clever use of design, materials, colors and now extremely complex movements. But somehow it still gets a lot of hate online. why is that? Is this reasonable? The short answer is no, but allow me to dig a little deeper into why some of the prejudice against this watch is ridiculous and should end.Replica Richard Mille RM 59
Now, before I dive into my thoughts on Audemars Piguet Code 11.59, I want to say something else. Code 11.59 being singled out and victimized, in my opinion, makes it painfully obvious how negatively certain people behave online. Instead of looking at Code 11.59 objectively, it has been ridiculed and bashed left and right and center since day one. Don't get me wrong, I'm fully aware that the loud minority pushes aside the silent majority, but still. This confuses me. Luckily though, I feel like the perception of code 11.59 is slowly changing, and for me, it's well deserved! Let me explain why I feel this way.
shaky start
Admittedly, the beginning of code 11.59 may be a bit sloppy. It's hyped as the best thing after sliced bread, but it really isn't. The somewhat plain dial takes away most of the luster from the objectively cool case construction. So, a huge effort went into explaining why this would never become an iconic series. It's boring, it's too simple, it has no personality, etc...Jacob & Co. Astronomia Sky
So far, though, Audemars Piguet has transformed Code 11.59 from what it was once thought to be into something worthy of our attention for a number of reasons. It is not boring at all to look closely, the intricate and fascinating case design, and rare attention to detail and decoration. It's not that simple anymore either, as we do see a range of innovative and complex models emerge. Heck, it even spawned the most complex AP in history! The brand has made that clear from day one; Code 11.59 is a collection that houses all of Audemars' expertise in haute horlogerie and haute horlogerie. Minute repeater, perpetual calendar, grande sonnerie, tourbillon chronograph, now a watch with no less than 23 complications. It was even used to bring back the iconic StarWheel concept.
The lack of individuality used to be the main problem of the series - mainly the dials of the time and date models - and I believe that AP has solved this problem. It gets a lot of character from a range of interesting and contrasting colors and materials, or details like the intricate new dials in the steel models. Speaking of steel models, have you noticed the subtle differences between them and precious metal models? Did you see that they have different markers and hands, a new date window and a different inner flange? I bet most people don't, especially naysayers.replica watches for sale
Blinded by the Royal Oak, but it shouldn't
Whenever we share any stories about Audemars Piguet Code 11.59, a ridiculous comment is bound to pop up; "It's not the Royal Oak." Or something along those lines, you get the idea. But think about this change. Before the introduction of code 11.59, we (the entire watch community including us) were complaining that Audemars were one-trick ponies. Now that there's an impressive collection besides Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore, people just laugh at the brand, saying Code 11.59 can't even stand in Royal Oak's shadow. To me, this is downright stupid!
I would say it's time to embrace the Code 11.59, it's a strong and very interesting line of mechanical watches! Time to look at the latest iteration with an open mind, without prejudice or negativity. Time to weigh the pros and cons objectively, or better yet, check it out for yourself before passing judgment and spreading negativity. If you don't like it in the end, that's okay too. But there's absolutely no need to discard it because you don't feel a connection to it. For the most part, never seen a metal watch once...
