Audemars Piguet is expanding its Code 11.59 collection with three watches that combine technical watchmaking, precious metals and distinctive materials. The lineup includes a 41mm Minute Repeater Supersonnerie and two 38mm Selfwinding references with natural stone dials.
The Code 11.59 Minute Repeater Supersonnerie is housed in an 18-carat white gold case and features a smoked sapphire dial that provides a subtle view of the movement. White gold hour markers and hands, silver-toned details and a grey alligator strap complete the design. It is powered by the manually wound Calibre 2953, which contains 362 components and provides a 72-hour power reserve.
The watch uses Audemars Piguet’s patented Supersonnerie construction. First introduced in the Royal Oak Concept RD#1 in 2016 after eight years of development, the system places the gongs on a dedicated soundboard and uses a caseback designed to form a resonance chamber. The 41mm watch measures 13.6mm thick and offers 20 meters of water resistance.
The two 38mm Code 11.59 Selfwinding Stone Dial models focus on the natural character of stone. One combines an 18-carat yellow gold case with a gold obsidian dial. Its mineral inclusions are emphasized by a sunburst finish, while yellow gold hands and markers, a brown inner bezel and a black alligator strap continue the warm color scheme.
The second model pairs an 18-carat pink gold case with a mirror-polished black onyx dial. Baguette-cut diamond hour markers, totaling approximately 0.37 carats, provide contrast against the dark surface. Pink gold hands and a matching black alligator strap complete the design.
Both stone-dial watches are equipped with the self-winding Calibre 5909, made up of 174 components and offering a 60-hour power reserve. They measure 9.6mm thick, feature double-curved sapphire crystals and provide 30 meters of water resistance.
