Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 15210BC.OO.A068CR.01 White Gold Smoked Burgundy Dial

Burgundy is a difficult colour to lacquer because it darkens toward black as the layers build, and holding it at wine rather than letting it collapse is the whole exercise. Audemars Piguet runs it over a sunburst base here, so the Code 11.59 dial shifts between red and near-black as the wrist moves.

The white gold case measures 41 mm in the collection's three-part construction. The smoked burgundy lacquered dial has a sunburst base with white gold applied hour-markers and hands, over a black lacquered inner bezel. The watch is completed on a hand-stitched burgundy alligator strap in the large square scale with a white gold pin buckle. Matching the strap to the dial rather than contrasting it is the more restrained choice, and it makes the case metal the only cool element on the watch.
