Ever wondered what happens when daring architectural design meets cutting-edge horology? Enter the Code 11.59 Tourbillon watch series by Audemars Piguet—a true masterpiece in modern watchmaking.
At first glance, you might mistake the Code 11.59’s case for a simple round shape. But look closer, and you’ll see a multi-faceted fusion that pays homage to AP’s iconic Royal Oak. The case, with a diameter of 41mm, is an exquisite blend of round and octagonal forms. Brushed and polished surfaces add a sophisticated texture, while the skeletonized lugs bridge the bezel and case back seamlessly.
The watch face is protected by a domed, double-curved sapphire crystal, creating a unique visual experience. Underneath this striking crystal lies the skeletonized tourbillon movement, showcasing the AP 2948 caliber. This manual-winding masterpiece features a vertically aligned movement, with the tourbillon at 6 o’clock and the mainspring barrel at 12 o’clock, offering perfect symmetry in its skeleton design. Three shades of grey gracefully highlight the curved bridges, contrasting with the light grey mainspring barrel and gear train.
For those who appreciate style and comfort, the watch comes with a nylon/ leather strap featuring a calfskin lining and secured with an AP pin buckle. It’s a detail that complements the watch’s sophisticated yet dynamic vibe.
The Code 11.59 Tourbillon is more than just a timepiece; it’s a testament to Audemars Piguet’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of watchmaking through unparalleled design and craftsmanship.
