Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Smoky Blue Dial 26393BC

41mmSuper Clone Watch

Original price was: $1,799.00.Current price is: $1,199.00.

If you want the Code 11.59 Chronograph at its most convincing, this smoky blue 26393BC is the one to study closely. The deep blue center fading to a near-black edge, the unusually thin bezel around that wide dial opening, and the layered double-curved crystal give it the character collectors look for in this reference. Against alternatives, the appeal here is how cleanly the crystal preserves the dial’s shifting color and tachymeter ring. The details below matter because this watch lives or dies by its case geometry and chronograph execution.

The smoky blue dial is the reason to choose this reference

The first thing that lands is the dial color. This 26393BC uses a smoky blue gradient that moves from a vivid cobalt center to a much darker outer edge, giving the watch more depth than a flat blue chronograph ever could. The applied baton markers and polished hands stand out sharply against that darker perimeter, while the large applied 12 keeps the top of the dial visually anchored. Around the outside, the printed tachymeter scale frames the dial without crowding it, so you still get the open, modern look that makes the Code 11.59 different from more familiar sports pieces.

For a buyer deciding between this and a more conventional integrated-bracelet chronograph, that is the real distinction: this watch is about dial architecture and optical effect rather than bracelet presence. It feels dressier, more technical, and less expected on the wrist.

The case profile is what separates a strong Code 11.59 build from an average one

The Code 11.59 only works when the case geometry is handled properly. Here, the round bezel and caseback frame the octagonal mid-case in the right spirit, with alternating brushed and polished surfaces creating the contrast this design needs. The bezel itself is extremely slim, which matters because it enlarges the visible dial opening and lets the smoky gradient do its job. At 41mm by 12.8mm, it has the proportions expected for this reference, substantial enough to carry the chronograph layout without looking oversized.

The case material is listed as 316L stainless steel with white gold plating. That gives the watch the pale, refined look associated with this reference while keeping the visual emphasis on the polished bezel, lugs, and pusher set. If you are comparing factories, the practical advantage noted for this version is the execution of the complex crystal and how it supports the whole case-and-dial presentation rather than distorting it at sharper viewing angles.

The double-curved sapphire changes how the watch reads in motion

This model uses a double-curved sapphire crystal with internal AR coating, and that detail is not filler. On a watch like this, the crystal is part of the design language. It creates the slight magnifying and shifting effect that makes the dial appear to change shape and tone as the watch moves under light. That is especially important with the smoked blue center, because the color transition can look dramatic head-on and much moodier from an angle.

In daily wear, that translates into a watch that keeps revealing different faces of itself. Indoors it can read almost charcoal at the edge; in brighter light the center turns electric blue. If you are already familiar with Code 11.59 references, you know this optical behavior is a major part of the appeal, and it is one of the key reasons this specific execution is worth attention.

A fully functional chronograph matters more here than on simpler dress watches

Inside is the Calibre 4401 clone with approximately 36 hours of power reserve. More importantly, this is described as a fully functional chronograph with a working column wheel, so the start, stop, and reset functions are part of the watch rather than decorative placeholders. The dial layout supports that mechanical credibility well: three subdials are positioned cleanly, with a date window tucked at about 4:30, preserving the balance of the main display.

That makes this a better choice for the buyer who wants the Code 11.59 look without giving up chronograph utility. It is not just a dress watch with extra registers for show; the operating layout is part of the value. One note worth knowing is that rotor noise can be slightly more audible in quiet surroundings, which is a characteristic of this movement architecture rather than a fault in operation.

The black fabric strap keeps the watch modern instead of formal

The black fabric strap suits this reference unusually well. It softens the watch visually, keeps the blue dial from becoming too glossy or precious, and gives the case a cleaner transition onto the wrist than a shinier leather option would. The texture is visible, the strap is integrated neatly into the lugs, and the hardware shown is an AP-signed pin buckle. That combination makes the watch feel more contemporary and easier to wear with knitwear, tailoring, or understated casual clothing.

Water resistance is stated at 30m. That should be treated as a basic stated rating for everyday caution, not as a reason to use the chronograph around water. Overall, this is a strong choice for the buyer who understands that the best Code 11.59 builds are decided by crystal shape, dial depth, and case finishing more than by headline specs alone.

What strap and buckle does this watch come with?

It comes on a black fabric strap. The attached photos show that particular watch fitted with an AP-signed pin buckle rather than a folding clasp.
