Description
The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Chronograph Ref. 26393ST.OO.A056KB.01 in stainless steel with a green dial is a compelling example of modern high-horology designed for collectors who value technical aptitude and contemporary aesthetics. The 41 mm stainless steel case features the hallmark Code 11.59 architecture—a sculpted octagonal mid-case sandwiched between a round bezel and case-back—with double-curved sapphire crystals that frame the dial and movement beautifully. Finished in a mix of satin-brushed surfaces and polished bevels, the case presents a sleek sport-luxury profile. The rich green dial is complemented by green sub-dials and a rhodium-toned external zone, while white-gold applied hour-markers and hands with luminescent coating deliver clarity and refinement.
Mechanically, the 26393ST is equipped with the in-house Calibre 4401—an automatic flyback chronograph movement with a column wheel, integrated vertical clutch, and 70-hour power reserve. Its functions include central hours, minutes, seconds, a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock, a small-seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock, and a date window between 4 and 5 o’clock. A transparent case-back offers display of the finely finished movement and the distinctive gold rotor. Water resistance is rated to 30 metres.
From a collector’s standpoint, this reference stands out for its distinct dial colour, full stainless-steel execution, and modern chronograph mechanics within the Code 11.59 collection. It appeals to those seeking something less ubiquitous than sport-watch icons yet rich in design innovation and material integrity. For a boutique focused on luxury timepieces like yours, this model is suited for clients who appreciate forward-looking horology, refined finishing, and integrated functionality in a refined case form.
