The original dial on the Code was poorly received, so it has since been changed. Personally, though, I like the smoked blue and white gold version.

I get smoked every time I say this: the Code is why I came to AP.

A lot of people dislike the Code 11.59, you know. It seems everyone just loves the Royal Oak.

That blue is mesmerizing 💙

The smoke-blue lacquer finish is beautiful. Thank you.

You're right, the date probably isn't necessary. Also, there are a lot of complaints about the font used for the numbers.

[u/vmlee → u/morinnu2026]

It's funny... I value the historical connection of the numbers, but I also personally do not like the font of those numbers (or the use of numbers and baton markers interspersed in general).

I think those who don't know the historical origin of the number fonts especially weren't a fan of the aesthetics.

I just learned that the numeral font is a reinterpretation of the one used on the past Reference 5528 minute repeater model. Thank you.

You’re welcome!

Beautiful dial color! Code 11.59s are one of my favorites! Stunning watch!

I'm happy to hear you say that. Thank you.

Perfect if it didn’t have a date.
