Caliber 4401 (new AP chronograph movement)

[subdateII]

The Code 11:59 collection has been contentious. I haven't seen much discussion about this new movement present in the 11:59 that will likely power all AP Chronograph in the future.

The only info I have found so far is that it is an integrated automatic movement with a vertical column wheel and flyback function.

Anyone kind enough to share their knowledge on this movement?

Unlikely many, if any, knows anything of real substance due to the fact it’s early days, and the numbers produced are severely limited.
By reasoned deduction, it would seem obvious that Audemars is using the line as a field test to gain feedback on real world reliability, etc, before going full bore on production once their contract with/commitment to DD ends, if it hasn’t already, and more staff trained on finishing, assembling, and servicing it.

I tried one on at the boutique and it is much thicker than I expected

Thank you! The Vacheron Overseas Chronograph gained in thickness in 2016 when they switched to their in-house Caliber ifrom the F. Piguet (used currently in the ROC).

I'd like to know if the 4401 has a stop seconds feature when you set the watch?

Anyone held one and done this to verify?
