Why this one
The case for this one.
- AP's round-faced collection, now offered in steel for the first time since 2019.
- Blue Bleu Nuit dial with the stamped Nuage 50 pattern under a double-curved crystal.
- Self-winding flyback chronograph, calibre 4401, on a navy alligator strap.
Code 11.59 spent its first four years in precious metal only, so the arrival of a steel chronograph in 2023 changed who the collection was for. The 26393ST keeps the octagonal midcase hidden beneath a round bezel and pairs it with a deep blue dial stamped in the Nuage 50 pattern, a nod to early Royal Oak dials from decades earlier. The calibre 4401 flyback chronograph and navy alligator strap make it the Code 11.59 most collectors ask for by name.
