Audemars Piguet adds three repeaters and two stone‑dial Code 11.59s

Audemars Piguet has added five references to its Royal Oak and Code 11.59 lines: three Minute Repeater Supersonnerie watches and two 38mm Code 11.59 Selfwinding models with natural stone dials.

The repeaters all use the hand-wound caliber 2953, which drives the hours, minutes, small seconds and the repeater. It has 362 components, 32 jewels, a 3 Hz beat and a minimum guaranteed power reserve of 72 hours. Supersonnerie dates to 2016 and the Royal Oak Concept RD#1, after eight years of work with watchmakers, musicians and researchers from EPFL. Its patented construction mounts the gongs on a dedicated soundboard, with an innovative case construction and a newly developed regulator.

Two repeaters are 42mm Royal Oaks, 14mm thick and water-resistant to 20 meters. Reference 26591TI.OO.1252TI.08 is in titanium on an integrated titanium bracelet, with a green satin-finished sunburst dial that darkens toward the edge. Reference 26591OR.OO.1252OR.01 is the first pink gold Royal Oak Minute Repeater Supersonnerie, with a brown Grande Tapisserie dial and matching bracelet.

The third repeater, reference 26395BC.OO.D009CR.01, is a 41mm Code 11.59 in white gold. It has a fully polished middle case and a smoked sapphire dial, with galvanic growth on the minute track and around the small-seconds counter. It sits on a gray alligator strap, measures 13.6mm thick and is water-resistant to 20 meters. All three repeaters are priced on request.

The 38mm Code 11.59 Selfwinding watches are 9.6mm thick and water-resistant to 30 meters. Reference 77410BA.OO.A604CR.01 is yellow gold with a natural gold obsidian dial, at CHF 45,500. Reference 77410OR.OO.A001CR.01 is pink gold with a mirror-polished black onyx dial and baguette-cut diamond indexes totaling 0.37 carats, at CHF 54,100. Both use automatic caliber 5909, with 174 components, 29 jewels, a 4 Hz beat and a minimum guaranteed power reserve of 60 hours.
