Played with the rose gold minute repeater today with smoked sapphire glass. Freaking awesome watch. The smoke dial is badass for sure.

I think they are both great. The Patek is thinner and probably more secure against deprecation long term.

I agree. This really really blew my mind. Smoked glass, ceramic mid case, and the repeater is soooo good. ![]() ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The minute repeater is awesome. 350k at retail ? Damn I picture myself with it so easily :-)

I got to try it on in aspen as well. Incredible watch! $400k but whatever!
I think if I were to do a really special complicated big $ watch I’d do a code. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I still think that they have no soul or AP heritage. Zero reasons to buy one.

But I'm very happy that they didn't include too much of the Millenary heritage into this for example... To me, the Code is a quite unique and contemporary blank canvas of a case, that can be used from small PM 38mm 3-handers all the way to the wonders of the RD4. It just took them a while to figure out that the canvas, particularly in the 41mm version, is a bit too empty without something more going on on the dial, like the printed guillochage pattern they now use. |

I would love to see them do a version of the double balance in the style of the Code Openwork Tourbillion Skeleton.
Something in the price range of the RO double balance. |

There's actually a lot of soul and heritage in the code 11.59. The hands and numerals off of the first and second generations that people hated so much were taken from vintage references. AP from really the 1950s onwards has always pushed high-end industrial design and cemented that path with Genta in the 70s. The CODE represents a modern commitment to that design philosophy, we're the company that makes beautiful industrial watches. You won't find that at patek, VC, lange etc.

Jin, hard to look at the code with that beautiful FPJ Resonance lurking in the background, beautiful my friend.

A new tourbilllon chrono openworked was just released. Really pretty IMHO.

CODES are so much better in person than photos ever show - hope to purchase a variation one day
