They all look great on your wrist.
Even the simple 3 hand pieces are great.
Thanks for sharing these.

The smoked dial version appeared very nice. Do you prefer the smoked dial or the green one?

Not a fan of the grey but the Chrono looks incredible. Considering all the new pics of Code’s and how much people are enjoying them I’ve asked my SA to look at some when I visit at the end of the month.
They fit your wrist well.

Perfect. imo the chrono in blue is the best in the new lineup of chrono. three hand is the green (but of course i'm partial since I chose the green for myself:)

the variations of the dial are a lot of fun

I really think AP should have gone with a smaller diameter. The fact it’s basically bezeless, with a big rehaut close dell the edge, makes CODE look very large. At 38mm I’d wager it would have looked better proportion wise, and I would have been nice to slim it too IMO.

I totally agree they should have slimmed down the diameter thus decreasing the dial size. As you say the Code l is mostly dial. Slightly better proportions.

However I think the size is partially due
1) newly developed chronograph movement that is in the Code - to be leveraged for the ROC41mm as well. AP wanted to use across diff family models
2) case size of Code was probably needed to accommodate more easily the toubillion and grand sonnerie complications (and AP likely had in the works the star wheel and universelle which both probably needed a larger watch diameter to pack in all those complications)

I assume the smaller Codes are still coming, although I haven't heard more rumors lately. If they go to 38mm, I'm curious which movement would go in there. Maybe the Vaucher-made one from the 15550?

I think smaller Codes will come later this year. Hopefully they don't cover them in stone and market them as ladies pieces. Slimmer case would be nice too.

I tried them on for the first time and found them too big for me, especially the chronos
