Case Structure: Continuing the iconic “floating” design of the CODE 11.59 series, the round case is encased by a slender octagonal bezel, paying homage to the classic octagonal element of the Royal Oak while creating a rounded and elegant dress watch shape. The case lines are smooth, and the fine polishing and brushing finishes exude a premium feel.
Dial Design: The smoky gray gradient dial features a concentric radial guilloché pattern (Geneva pattern), transitioning from light to dark from the center to the edge, creating subtle light and shadow effects under light, resulting in a highly sophisticated look. It is paired with 18K white gold applied hour markers and hands, inlaid with luminescent coating to ensure clear readability in low-light conditions. A date display window is located at 3 o’clock, a simple and elegant layout that aligns with the aesthetics of a dress watch.
Crystal and Crown: The double-curved anti-reflective sapphire crystal is transparent and scratch-resistant, enhancing readability. The crown is crafted from stainless steel with a non-slip texture, providing a solid feel for adjustment, and the brand logo is engraved with exquisite details.
Strap Design: Black fabric (canvas) strap with a stainless steel pin buckle, balancing comfort and casual style, suitable for various occasions including business and leisure. An alligator leather strap can also be used to enhance the formal look.
