Following the release of Audemars Piguet’s first semester novelties for 2025, another less publicised model caught us by surprise. While ostensibly UK perfect replica Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Chronographs in two-tone blue ceramic and white gold case, this special edition strays from the collection’s signature dials and incorporates a rare Tuscany dial in blue, something that will ring a bell with collectors.
Accustomed as we are to best fake Audemars Piguet watches’ hallmark tapisserie dials and even the more recent embossed dial patterns of the Code 11.59 collection, a Tuscan Blue dial is a relatively rare sighting in AP’s universe. Associated with Royal Oak Perpetual Calendars of the 1990s, the dials were originally hammered by hand, producing a grained, speckled surface that is rougher and less regular than one obtained with a machine. Last seen on the Royal Oak Jumbo 16202, the Tuscan dial reappears in 2025 on board the Code 11:59 Chronograph.
The grainy texture of the Tuscany Blue dial reveals a far more vibrant shade of blue and is, as the brand explains, obtained with a technique similar to sandblasting. The three sub-dials are snailed, the raised flange on the periphery with its circular snailed finish is used for the tachymeter, and its pronounced slope for the minutes/seconds track. Unlike other cheap super clone Audemars Piguet Code 11:59 watches, the date window at 4:30 has been suppressed.
Another novelty of the Tuscany Blue model is the use of baguette-cut diamond hour markers. A feature that is becoming more prevalent in high-end men’s UK high quality replica watches, the sleek, long, rectangular shape of baguette-cut diamonds makes them the most masculine cut of diamonds. The only trace of luminescence can be found on the tips of the Royal Oak semi-openworked white gold hour and minute hands. As with other Code 11:59 models, the dial is protected by a double-curved crystal.
The ceramic and white gold case, which is similar to the two-tone Tourbillon Openworked reference of 2022, highlights the much-admired and complex case architecture of the luxury fake Audemars Piguet Code 11:59 watches. The blue ceramic octagonal case middle contrasts with the white gold case structure composed of a thin round bezel and caseback and the distinctive openworked lugs with hexagonal screws. The smooth, rounded rectangular pushers and crown are also white gold. Both the case’s ceramic middle and white gold components are decorated with alternating satin-brushed surfaces and polished chamfers.
