Introducing The New Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Collection

'Code' is the acronym for Challenge, Own, Dare and Evolve, characteristics that define the spirit of Audemars Piguet '11.59' is a reference to the minute before a new day begins, which is apt considering how the collection marks an exciting new chapter for Audemars Piguet For 46 years, Audemars Piguet has been riding on the fame of its iconic Royal Oak.

The time feels right for a new collection that can offer a viable alternative to the sporty model but still showcases the manufacture's 143-year savoir-faire in watchmaking The result is an attractive 3D signature, a small detail perhaps but one that demonstrates Audemars Piguet's willingness to push design limits Six in-house calibres appear in the premiere collection, all of them selfwinding except for the tourbillon openworked and the minute repeater supersonnerie.

Three calibres are entirely new, namely the selfwinding with date calibre 4302 with a frequency of 4Hz, the selfwinding chronograph calibre 4401 with flyback function and 70 hours of power reserve, and the selfwinding calibre 2950, the first automatic movement from Audemars Piguet to feature a flying tourbillon and a central rotor. .
