In celebration of its 150th anniversary, Audemars Piguet has unveiled a stunning collection of new timepieces, blending heritage and innovation. The novelties feature the launch of two Royal Oak Perpetual Calendars and a Code 11.59 Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar, each boasting 38mm case sizes for a refined yet accessible look. Also included are three Code 11.59 Flying Tourbillons adorned with natural stone dials, continuing the brand’s legacy of groundbreaking craftsmanship.
Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar
The Code 11.59 Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar introduces a fresh 38mm size to the collection, housed in an 18k pink-gold case. The soft green guilloché dial, designed by Yann von Kaenel, pairs beautifully with pink-gold hands and luminescent hour markers. The watch’s innovative Calibre 7138 allows users to adjust all perpetual calendar functions—including day, date, month, leap year, and moonphase—via a single crown, eliminating the need for side correctors. This ergonomic feature makes the watch incredibly user-friendly, while the green alligator strap adds the finishing touch.
Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar 38mm
Audemars Piguet also expands its iconic Royal Oak collection with two new 38mm perpetual calendars that emphasize versatility. The first model features a stainless steel case with a light blue “Grande Tapisserie” dial and matching snailed counters. The second, more luxurious version, is crafted from 18k pink gold with a beige Grande Tapisserie dial and matching counters. Both timepieces are powered by the Calibre 7136, which can also be fully adjusted via the crown, ensuring ease of use. The cases and bracelets combine satin-brushed and polished chamfers, reflecting Audemars Piguet’s signature refinement.
Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Collection
In another nod to the brand’s rich history, the Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Collection showcases three limited-edition pieces featuring natural stone dials. These include red ruby root, blue sodalite, and green malachite dials, each paired with a corresponding 18k gold case: white gold for the ruby root, pink gold for the sodalite, and yellow gold for the malachite. The timepieces feature the ultra-thin Calibre 2968, which powers the flying tourbillon—a breathtaking complication that seems to float above the dial. These stunning watches are complemented by coordinating alligator straps, with the option of a rubber-coated strap for added versatility.
A Legacy of Innovation
These new releases not only honor Audemars Piguet’s storied past but also push the boundaries of contemporary watchmaking. The 38mm case sizes offer wearers the ideal balance between elegance and wearability, while the natural stone dials and flying tourbillons showcase the Maison’s commitment to unique artistry. As part of its 150th anniversary celebrations, Audemars Piguet continues to elevate the art of watchmaking with these breathtaking timepieces, each a testament to the brand’s unwavering pursuit of excellence.
