Maybe 1129 isn't a date, but a time. (11:29)

It might also be a word. In Japanese Iroha ordering, if you read characters 7, 15, 11, 29, you get:

to yo ru ya

which itself doesn't make a whole lot of sense -- "to yoru" could mean "at night" but the "ya" doesn't really make sense on its own.

If you read it backwards (ya ru yo to) it becomes a little more interesting: Yaru can mean "kills/murders", and yotou can mean "the rest of a group" or "the ruling party". The problem with that hypothesis is that you'd have to add a fifth syllable, the -u at the end of yotou.

On the other hand, if the first 4 digits are taken as a reference to Battler, and the second four are read backwards in this way, you could get "Battler kills". Of course, it's all pretty speculative, especially with the reading backwards part. Converting numbers to iroha letters is not an uncommon detective plot point though.

Even if this is the intended meaning, that could easily be a red herring -- or a ploy by the real killer to trick Eva into killing Battler (if she thinks Battler killed George, she may have been innocent up until that point but offs him in revenge).

All very speculative though.
