Incoming - Code 11:59 Steel and Ceramic Chronograph

[Carguy87]

Congrats Sam!! How do you find the dial legibility with the chrono? In some lighting it looks like it might be a bit hard to read, but then in other shots it seems to have more than enough contrast , so just curious what your thoughts are with the watch in hand.

Stunning pick up!

Thank you! No issues with legibility for me, in person there's more than enough contrast with the new hands and indices that its easy to tell time. The Chrono is also very easy to read.

The ceramic middle case and the terrific dial make for a combination that just glistens under light to show the high level of craftsmanship that has gone into this piece of haute horology. AP really has a hit on their hands, and the expansion of this collection bodes well for the future.

Would absolutely love to see these pics, and more, on the black strap if you've given that one a try!

Congratulations Sam. Your watch looks awesome.

Personally, I really hope AP release more steel and ceramic Codes down the line.

They actually didn't include an extra strap for me on this, was just the OEM Taupe one that you see. I had a thought initially to request to swap it out for the black strap, but after seeing this in person and trying it on, i loved how comfortable it was, and how it hugs the wrist. It is a featherweight on the wrist!

Thank you! The Steel and Ceramic combo to me feels like the perfect one to double down a collection on, as the contrast, weight, and finishing really accentuates the case profile. I think we're going to see more 38mm options this year, personally.

The date window kills the whole design unfortunately.

Disagree completely.

Love this Code reference. Enjoy Sam

It's funny how people have issues with date windows. I wouldn't want to miss mine. That said, it is less visible on my blue Chrono than on the green model with the smoked dial.

I would prefer the date window to be at the center like the Datograph, or have it removed, but I don’t think it’s ugly at 430 either. It’s useful

The dial is just amazing looking. Something very mesmorizing about the gradient. Congrats and enjoy:-)

Gorgeous. Did you get the black strap from the boutique?

Really beautiful piece!!! Wear it in good health.

I've been on the waitlist for this for sometime now - but the 3 hander. Hoping to get one soon before I succumb and buy it from the gray market :)

Don't go grey for this. You wouldn't save a lot, and miss a great opportunity to build a relationship with AP.

Congrats, beautiful watch, date and all.

ya, you're probably right. Just difficult to really want a watch and know that I can get it right now at a Lower cost, but still choose to wait to get it from AP in the hopes that maybe one day they might potentially get me one of my grails :)

[Bearxj86]

Insanely beautiful piece. All it needs is 50 to 100 water resistance and I would wear it daily and never take it off.

Yes, I asked my SA to have the strap switched for me by the time I come to pick up the watch. He was very gracious and did not charge me anything for the new strap.

If it wasn’t the same color family as the taupe 43 ROO I would’ve asked for one of these
