When you think about best Audemars Piguet replica watches as a brand, we all automatically picture the silhouette of a Royal Oak in our minds. Whether it’s the chronograph variant, Jumbo Extra-Thin, or the easy wearing 37mm stainless steel self-winding version, this model is unequivocally the brands iconic offering.
Audemars Piguet has obviously recognized this, and has capitalized with the release of a multitude of Royal Oak variants – although in 2019 AP decided to take a turn into experimentation mode with the release of the youthful and daring Code 11.59 collection. While the Code doesn’t carry with it a historical pedigree, it certainly brings along everything Audemars Piguet is known for, which is second to none high-horology watchmaking with trendsetting designs. Usually, as was the case with the first Royal Oak releases, the popularity of their new models take some time to build up a following which also seems to be the situation with the Code line of UK 1:1 fake watches.
Upon first glance the Code appears to be a shift towards a more contemporary and traditional watch, especially with the use of the round bezel, case, and caseback. The grounded appearance of the watch is also accentuated by the use of Openworked lugs that sweep into the shape of the case, quite reminiscent of dressier Swiss made replica watches from brands such as Moser and Patek Philippe.
Beyond the initial first look is where things get interesting, with perhaps the lacquered gradient dials being the first aspect to grab your attention. Audemars Piguet very rarely uses gradients on their dials, usually opting for a sunburst tapestry on their most iconic Royal Oak offerings. It’s really nice to see this experimental departure from the norm for them, and their blue, green, and purple gradient dials on the Code are incredibly striking to experience in person.
There is one aspect of the Code that harkens back to the Royal Oak, and to view this you need to angle the AAA copy watches on its side, this way you can view the “octagonal middle case”. This design aspect is essentially a nod to the octagonal bezel we all love on the Royal Oak, and it’s implemented subtly, reminding the wearer of The Code about the renowned Audemars Piguet brand they have on wrist.
Along with the introduction of this entirely new watch, a slew of new in-house movements were also introduced, again signalling that the Code is indeed it’s own watch away from the Royal Oak. Audemars Piguet could have theoretically borrowed movements from their already existing watches, but they’ve gone the extra mile to create bespoke works of art gearing the Code. The most basic movement for the men’s selection of luxury replica watches being the caliber 4302, which is a time and date movement. Audemars Piguet also released the Caliber 4401 flyback chronograph, as well as the 2950 and 2948 reserved for the flying and skeleton tourbillon variants.
The Code is a welcomed departure away from the known, and displays an astute desire by Audemars Piguet to create and invent new horological wonders. This is a very intriguing 2024 top super clone watches for enthusiasts and collectors who are seeking something different from a brand known to be a trend setter, rather than a follower in the industry.
