Now fix the hands and ditch the old-fashioned gator straps for something a bit more contemporary. Definitely a big step in the right direction.

2020 NEW model: Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 Flying Tourbillon Flyback Chronograph
For the first time by AP, the brand unites 2 incredible complications together. Limited to 50 pieces in white gold.
WOW.
Aaaah, here we are, now. Finally a dial which works well with the 11.59. Very nice one! Still, the hands... [nt]

I wondered the same about the hands, but overall, this is stunning. [nt]

Yes, the hands always remind me of.....
A 1950s high school band leading out their football team.
The rest of the watch is pretty stunning. It looks like perhaps AP have finally.... wait for it..... cracked the code on this one.

Isn’t it fantastic? Such an improvement when they literally get rid of the dial! [nt]

Openworking in a CODE 11.59 case is going to be a MASSIVE hit.
The two are perfect together. No doubt about it, this will be a design direction for sure.
As you guys already pointed out, this watch is incredible...except for the hands...
I just wish AP would put hands with better legibility with the series. I feel different hands would make this series very to beat!
Best dial so far foe the code 11.59 besides the aventurine dial of the perpetual [nt]

Fantastic! Best CODE yet.

It seems very thick and difficult to read...
...Is there a reason the movement seems small? Doesn't really matter as it is out of my range.
apart from the hands, is it just me or is the radial flip on the outer numbers jarring vs concentric? [nt]

I agree 100%
Maybe it’s the OCD in me, but I really hate radial flips. I would much rather read a number upside down then try to rationalize why it was suddenly rotated through 180 degrees.
Agree 1,000%...
I prefer to read numbers and letters (MON, TUES, etc.) un-flipped. It's ironic, as one of the only manufacturers who does this well is AP...check out the older Royal Oak PCs. They messed it up with the 'Code' PCs.
The owners of this site should create a new business, a focus group...
This 11.59 is a winner! Finally, the perfect case has been matched with an aesthetically pleasing dial.
I can’t help, but to think what the 11.59 could have been and still has potential to become. I think going forward, AP needs to invest in large focus groups, and who better to conduct it than the moderators of this site?
This looks like a Roger Dubuis skeleton. I don’t like it at all. [nt]

BRAVO! 👏🏻❣️Well done dial - well done AP!
I like it, even the hands (which are the Code 11.59 DNA - and actually fit perfectly!). 👌🏻
Except for - the tickness! They might should have taken a manual wind movement...
Yes, they know why they don‘t show the sides... 😉
Just Wow!
All the complicated models from Code 11.59 are pretty amazing! From the tourbillon to the perpetual and now this. Excellent job from AP
first impression- beautiful!! is it a new Gronefeld? Then the second thoughts -AP did put some serious thought into it and A new
movement. I believe all RO tourbillon chronos are manuals. Final thoughts - A bit (quite)chunky but is it a deal breaker. How many Ks above 100k ??
This one is certainly not manual... The reason why it is chunky... ;) [nt]

Exactly, two new automatic chrono calibers in one yr. If Rolex changed a hairspring there wud be an uproar. [nt]
