This replica Code-1159 26393OR black presents the Code 11.59 chronograph in full rose gold with a black dial, one of the most visually high-contrast configurations available in the collection. Reference 26393OR uses an 18K rose gold case at 41mm, and the black lacquered dial against warm gold creates a tuxedo-like pairing that reads as formal at first glance but reveals technical depth up close. Audemars Piguet designed this reference for buyers who want a chronograph that doubles as a statement dress watch.

Technical Overview

• Case diameter: 41mm
• Case material: 18K rose gold
• Dial: black lacquered
• Crystal: double-curved sapphire
• Caseback: sapphire display
• Strap: black leather with rose gold folding clasp
• Movement: automatic chronograph
• Functions: hours, minutes, seconds, chronograph, date

The three chronograph subdials appear as sunken registers on the black dial, outlined with rose gold rings that match the applied hour markers. Date sits at 6 o’clock, integrated into the running seconds subdial rather than through a separate aperture.

Inside the Movement

The automatic chronograph movement drives column-wheel actuation for smooth pusher engagement. Through the sapphire caseback, the oscillating weight and chronograph bridge components are visible, finished with circular graining and beveled edges. The winding crown recesses into the octagonal case structure, sitting flush when not in use. For a different take on the Code 11.59 platform, the 26048 time-only version strips away the chronograph for a thinner profile.

What Sets It Apart

Full rose gold chronographs occupy a narrow lane. They signal formality but the chronograph function keeps them from feeling purely decorative. The 26393OR in black sits at the intersection of tool and jewel. The rose gold warms under skin contact throughout the day, developing a subtle glow that polished steel never achieves. Against a black strap and black dial, the gold case becomes the focal point without competing visual elements. If your goal is a single Code 11.59 chronograph that handles formal events and weekend dinners equally, this replica Code-1159 26393OR black occupies exactly that space.
