Audemars Piguet has introduced two new 38mm Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding models with natural stone dials.
The pair brings a quieter, more material-led expression to the collection, using gold obsidian and black onyx to create contrast, depth and a different kind of wrist presence.
Rather than relying on bright colour or overt complication, these watches place the emphasis on surfaces shaped by nature and finished through high watchmaking craft.
At a glance
- Audemars Piguet has unveiled two 38mm Code 11.59 Selfwinding models with natural stone dials.
- The releases pair gold obsidian with 18-carat yellow gold and black onyx with 18-carat pink gold and baguette-cut diamond hour-markers.
- Both watches expand the 38mm Code 11.59 Selfwinding line, with pricing and availability not stated.
Gold obsidian in yellow gold
The first reference centres on gold obsidian, a stone distinguished by mineral inclusions that catch the light across its dark surface.
Audemars Piguet has paired the dial with an 18-carat yellow gold case, allowing the stone’s darker tone and reflective inclusions to play against the warmth of the metal.
A sunburst motif adds movement to the dial, giving the material a changing character as light shifts across it.
The watch is completed on a shimmering black alligator strap, keeping the composition focused on the interaction between shadow, gold and texture.
Black onyx with pink gold and diamonds
The second model takes a more polished route, combining an 18-carat pink gold case with a mirror-polished black onyx dial.
Onyx is used here for its visual depth and intensity, with Audemars Piguet highlighting the care required in the finishing process to reveal the purity of the surface.
Baguette-cut diamond hour-markers introduce a sharper, more jewellery-led accent without disrupting the dial’s restrained black aesthetic.
The contrast between pink gold, black onyx and diamonds gives the watch a precise, balanced feel, while a sleek black alligator strap continues the understated tone.
Natural stone within the Code 11.59 language
These releases add another layer to the 38mm Code 11.59 Selfwinding line by bringing natural materials into a design that depends heavily on proportion and finish.
Gold obsidian and black onyx each bring their own visual personality, but both dials rely on restraint rather than spectacle.
That makes the pair particularly suited to collectors drawn to texture, material nuance and the small differences that make natural stone dials compelling.
