AP's $1,723,000 Watch? I Review The 2023 Audemars Piguet Watches

The 2023 Audemars Piguet watches are here and read for sale! Well, maybe. Many of the new AP watches are available only at Audemars Piguet factory boutiques and AP Houses. And you probably can't get any of the best watches unless you're VIP client of Audemars Piguet. And some of these 2023 AP watches are limited production models. Plus, there are waiting lists. But other than that, the 2023 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Code 11.59 collections are ready for your wrist! For once, the entire Audemars Piguet new model year isn't dominated by the AP Royal Oak. The controversial Code 11.59 dress watch gains a monstrous flagship in the form of the Code 11.59 Automatic Universelle. Inspired by a 1899 Audemars Piguet grande complication pocket watch, the Code 11.59 Universelle is a 42mm "ultra complication" with a perpetual calendar, a flying tourbillon, a minute repeater, a grande et petite sonnerie, and chronograph that includes both flyback and split-seconds action. Even better, the entire package is only 42mm in diameter, includes a hunter caseback, and features automatic winding for convenience. Only seven examples of this watch will be produced in 2023, but the fortunate few buyers do have options. Both rose and white gold cases are offered. The dials can be ordered in beige or black. And for those willing to spend more to get less, a full openworked dial is available. The solid dial 11.59 Universelle costs CHF 1.45 milion and the openworked model costs CHF 1.6 million.
