The moon phase function, which realistically depicts the moon based on NASA data, remains at the 6 o'clock position. However, the full moon image is now centered on the 12 o'clock axis, contributing to a more harmonious dial layout.

The year 2025 marks Audemars Piguet's 150th anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, the brand has introduced special editions of the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection, reaffirming the brand's development philosophy.

Kicking off the anniversary celebrations, Audemars Piguet introduced the next generation of its self-winding perpetual calendar movement, the Calibre 7138. This movement allows users to adjust all functions through a single crown. The brand's engineers spent 5 years researching and developing this mechanical masterpiece, protected by 5 patents.

235 brilliant-cut diamonds (approximately 1.2 carats) are meticulously set on the case, lugs, and crown, creating a dazzling effect. Each stone is carefully selected by Audemars Piguet, meeting strict clarity and color standards, before being cut to various sizes to fit the complex shape of the watch case. The watch also features an elegant beige alligator leather strap with large square scales and a darker hue, contrasting with the case and dial.

This movement debuts in the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet 41 mm 18-carat white gold model. Its aesthetic details are highlighted by hand-finished satin brushing and polishing techniques, creating unique light effects. The watch also features a smoked blue PVD dial with the collection's signature embossed pattern.

To enhance user experience and create a seamless case design, Audemars Piguet's engineers developed a new, intuitive adjustment system. This system allows all calendar settings to be managed through a single crown, enabling users to adjust all perpetual calendar functions anywhere, without tools, and without risk of damaging the movement.

The dial also features an embossed concentric circle pattern, resembling ripples on water. The elongated, beveled, and polished hour markers and the luminescent hour and minute hands optimize visibility in low-light conditions. The design is completed with a gray textured rubber strap with a calfskin lining, balancing modern style and wearing comfort.

In addition to the 41 mm model, Audemars Piguet expands its Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Complication collection with the 38 mm Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon version.

To showcase the movement's intricate beauty, this model features a luxurious sandblasted gold case set with diamonds, reflecting light with every wrist movement. The sandblasted gold's hue shifts between white and rose gold depending on the light, highlighting the visual effect of the multi-faceted case architecture.

Previously, in 3/2025, Audemars Piguet launched two new Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding and Selfwinding Chronograph models in stainless steel. Both feature a distinctive new gray dial and strap, contrasting with the iconic "Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50" (dark blue) details.

The case's surface features the signature polished and satin-brushed finish, creating light reflections that emphasize the multi-faceted case architecture. The contrast between the slate-gray dial and the "Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50" accents on the chronograph dial and inner bezel is a key design element.

Both models are equipped with Audemars Piguet's latest-generation movements, combining technical precision, reliability, practicality, and refined finishing. These movements have been specially designed by Audemars Piguet's engineers and watchmakers to optimize ease of use for modern lifestyles.

All the latest versions of the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection launched in 2025 will be presented by brand representatives in various countries. Notably, for the first time, collectors in Vietnam will have the opportunity to see these creations firsthand, marking Audemars Piguet's appreciation for the Vietnamese market.

The Audemars Piguet boutique is located at Union Square Shopping Center, 171 Dong Khoi, District 1, TP HCM.

First launched at SIHH (Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie) in 2019, Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet has become one of the brand's key watch collections. Despite its relatively short history, this collection embodies much of the brand's essence and heritage, from aesthetics to technology, accumulated throughout its history.

Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet doesn't adhere to the classic "haute horlogerie" style, instead opting for an edgy, bold, and groundbreaking design.
