Designer

Gérald Genta

Gérald Genta (1931–2011) trained as a goldsmith in Geneva and became the most influential watch designer of the 20th century. Working freelance, he sketched the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak overnight in 1970, followed by the Patek Philippe Nautilus, the IWC Ingenieur SL and the Bulgari Bulgari — defining the integrated-bracelet luxury sports watch as a category.

Historical significance

Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 15210Bc.Oo.A002Cr.01 41Mm 18K White Gold Men's Watch sits within Audemars Piguet's Code 11.59 line, introduced in 2019. It carries the house codes established since 1875 — 18k white gold case case, black dial dial and automatic movement — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.

Interesting facts

• The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.
• The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.
• The case is finished by hand, alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces in a single pass so the edges stay razor sharp.
