I loved the Code transparent MR because the mechanisms are revealed.
Great wrist presences of those larger pieces, but my small wrist cannot pull them off unfortunatelyπ
The diamond studded RO female is attractive for ladies. Will not show it to my wife π

Key Points from the Discussion
- The Code 11.59 Minute Repeater Supersonnerie in white gold, with its transparent dial revealing the intricate mechanisms, is a standout piece for its horological complexity and aesthetic appeal.
- The Code 11.59 case design, particularly the three-tone effect (white gold, rose gold, and ceramic), is a point of interest, though GLau clarifies the specific model he admired was white gold, suggesting lighting might have created the multi-tone perception.
- The Code 11.59 Minute Repeater with a transparent dial and aventurine, reminiscent of the John Schaeffer edition, is highlighted as a particularly special and desirable model.
- The updated Code 11.59 models, especially those in rose gold, have significantly grown on collectors, with the 23730OR.OO.1320OR.05 Royal Oak being described as 'drop dead gorgeous'.
- The diamond-studded Royal Oak for ladies (15551BC.ZZ.D405CR.01) is noted for its attractiveness, albeit with a humorous caution about its potential allure to spouses.
