Designer

Emmanuel Gueit

Emmanuel Gueit came from a family of Geneva jewellers and was barely into his twenties when he drew the oversized Royal Oak Offshore in 1993 — a watch the house's traditionalists resisted and collectors turned into an icon.

Historical significance

Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 15210QT.OO.A064KB.01 Self-winding Beige Dial 41mm Men's Watch sits within Audemars Piguet's Code 11.59 line, introduced in 2011. It carries the house codes established since 1875 — white gold case, slate grey dial dial and automatic manufacture calibre — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.

Interesting facts

• The bracelet tapers across its length, which is why the profile looks thinner on the wrist than the specification suggests.
• The case is finished by hand, alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces in a single pass so the edges stay razor sharp.
• The reference was originally planned as a one-year run and stayed in the catalogue for well over a decade.
