Summary

  • Audemars Piguet unveils three Code 11.59 models with natural stone dials
  • The two Japan-exclusive editions featuring malachite and sodalite dials will release in May, retailing at around $49,966 USD
  • A 38mm turquoise edition will debut in Japan ahead of a global rollout in July

Audemars Piguet has announced three new additions to its Code 11.59 roster, each distinguished by natural stone dials and refined craftsmanship. This unveiling is particularly significant for the Asian market, featuring two Japan-exclusive models and one model that is launching in Japan before a global rollout.

Releasing in Japan first is the self-winding Code 11.59 with a striking turquoise stone dial, housed inside a 38mm 18k white gold case. The bright turquoise is contrasted by rhodium-toned pink gold hour-markers and white gold hands, with the rich hue echoed on a textured rubber-coated strap. Powered by the Calibre 5909 with a 60-hour power reserve, the reference retails at ¥7,920,000 JPY (approx. $49,966 USD) and is set for a July launch.

The two Japan-exclusive releases are 41mm models that pair the collection’s complex, multifaceted case architecture with vivid malachite and sodalite dials. The first model features an 18k yellow gold case paired with a vibrant green malachite dial, a stone characterized by its deep green hues and swirling, banded veining. The second model utilizes an 18k white gold case to complement a deep blue sodalite dial, a mineral revered for its white calcite stripes. Both editions are elevated with 13 baguette-cut diamond hour-markers and are powered by the self-winding Calibre 4309 that offers a 70-hour power reserve. Pricing for these exclusive pieces is available upon inquiry and will be available in Japan starting in May 2026.
