Which Code 11.59 should I buy?

I am nineteen years old and I am currently very interested in the Code 11.59.

I have never been a fan of the Royal Oak or Royal Oak Offshore but finally I have found a model that I really like.

I was so impressed that I contacted Francois-Henry Bennahmias of Audemars Piguet on the internet to show my appreciation.

Here are my two choices. Help me decide.

Hmm, tough choice young man, and welcome to the forum!

I personally would go for the blue one because I like blue, but as we say here, pick the one that you like! You can never go wrong with these.

Good luck with the purchase, wear in good health!

Oh! And before I forget, always remember:

Challenge -Challenge the limits of craftsmanship

Dare – To follow firm convictions
Evolve – Never stand still
11.59 – The last minute before a new day

Enjoy!!

This is the best thread ever! I'm crying from laughing so hard. Someone actually came in my office to see what was so funny.

Although I must say that I'm not a fan of the dial/hands on the 3 hand version but those photos seem to be growing on me. It a shame especially with how special the carved dial of the RO has such amazing detail. They really should have put some unique level of detail into these dials.

This can't be for real but may be it is considering the OPs previous posts in the past 12 months

I like your profile pic, reminds me of of a Young Nick Carter. I say you buy all 3 of them, go big or go home right?

LMFAO!!

Bennihana thinks the campaign is a success coz of the email he got from a 19 year which is supposedly one of the target markets for the watches.
