In came the beauty

Just picked up this one yesterday. Boy what a pleasure for the eyes …
When you turn it all around you find so much details and variations. Every edge of the case has been chamfered. The ceramic middle case with ap « lines » finish and polished ceramic. Damn this one to me is perfection [/IMG]

I waited 6 months for it. They will recieve only 3 of these in 2024.
I forgot to say that the crown is a piece of ceramic settled aroundthe steel part.nice corky détail. More confortable than previous 11.59 crown. They don’t leave the red spot on your hand :-)

3 of these in a full year? That seems unusually low...

Regardless, congrats... I am really enjoying mine as well and you really have to see all the details in person to appreciate it.

Thank you all for your words. I wanted to share pictures of it because it is so hard to find some online.
These stamped dials are really well made and when it has metallic notes inside it even nicer.
Somehow it remind me of these dial. We get some of the same vibes.

The dial of the code 11.59 is called « sand » on the official description in the papers of the watch. When I asked my SA will this be the same « sand gold » that AP will soon launch, he looked at me and didn’t answer :-D
