what are your thoughts?
I prefer code case design from this pic, seems more refined and less bloated. However, things could change after seeing multiple angles.

I hate to say it, but that particular AP looks better than this Patek.

I never imagined to say that but AP Code 11.59 is more interesting and better designed than Patek Decubitus if this leak really shows the new line.

AP released something that was actually new (eg case and crystal design). Patek just took inspiration from their Alibaba copycats. Really lazy and uninspired new line.

patek definitely took the safer route, squared off the case used same dial design and called it a day. we will have to see more angles on release day but does the new shape mean a new caliber was designed for this line?

as for the 11.59, you can't deny it looks like a michael kors watch when looking at it from the top. the sapphire is unique, but its only from the side angles where you really see the unique case design, flying lugs and octagonal mid case.

This looks f***ing terrible. Maybe I should tell you how I really feel. Looks like someone with no skills played around in photoshop with a Nautilus, got distracted, and this is what was left on the screen when they walked away.

H. Moser should do an 'homage' fumé dial version yet with opposite-color bezel / raised hour indicators. Add some happy hands and FUNky seconds indicator and it'd be epic!

Make the watch strap from 'very, very rare' vintage jeans.

The Code's dial is nicer. However the Cubitus square shape is PP trying to appeal to those that like square shaped watches. Apple made square shaped watches popular. Cartier put Santos on the map.

He ranks a PRX above the Cubitus.... this guy isn't very serious. I stopped listening at that point. I'm not surprised he wasn't invited to the launch (as he gently whines about at the beginning).
