Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar

In the collection of Code 11.59, the initial Perpetual Calendar model boasts an 18k pink gold casing and a delicate green guilloché dial designed by Yann von Kaenel. This piece introduces the new Calibre 7138, which operates without traditional side correctors due to its innovative all-in-the-crown setting system that effortlessly handles day, date, month, leap year, and moonphase functions with exceptional practicality. Pink-gold hands and luminescent hour markers contrast beautifully with white calendar indications, while a green alligator strap provides the finishing touch to this harmonious, celebratory ensemble.

Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar 38mm

Audemars Piguet expands its prestigious Royal Oak collection with two new perpetual calendar models, each available in a wearable 38mm diameter. The first model boasts a stainless steel casing paired with a light blue “Grande Tapisserie” dial and matching snailed counters, offering a cool and contemporary look. In contrast, the second model is crafted from luxurious 18k pink gold, featuring a beige Grande Tapisserie dial and matching counters that exude a warm and elegant ambiance. Both models harness the power of the Calibre 7136, allowing for fully set functionality via the crown to enhance user convenience. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the flawless blend of satin-brushed and polished chamfers on the case and bracelet, showcasing Audemars Piguet’s dedication to craftsmanship excellence.

Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Collection

11.59 by Audemars Piguet’s Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Collection includes three exclusive timepieces, each limited in production. These watches draw inspiration from the brand’s heritage of using stone dials, and are available in three styles: red ruby root, blue sodalite, and green malachite. The choice of case material complements each stone; it’s 18k white gold for the ruby root, pink gold for the sodalite, and yellow gold for the malachite. The Maison’s slender Calibre 2968 movement, just 3.4mm thick, drives these watches, allowing the flying tourbillon to seem as if it’s gently floating above the natural stone. Each watch is finalized with a corresponding alligator strap, and there’s an optional rubber-coated strap for added versatility.
