APP Factory Releases the Latest Audemars Piguet Tourbillon Skeleton Watch from the Code 11.59 Series Ref. 26600
Featuring a dual-tone, dynamic, and intricate case structure, this watch introduces a revolutionary visual experience with a brand-new iconic double-curved sapphire crystal.
Highlight 1:
At first glance, it’s hard to capture the complexity and impressive craftsmanship of the Code 11.59 series. While the case appears round with a slim bezel, it is, in fact, a bold, multifaceted architectural design combining contrasting shapes. Paying homage to the brand’s iconic Royal Oak bezel, the middle layer of the case features an octagonal design with a thick brushed finish and polished bevels. The lugs showcase a brushed surface, polished chamfers, and a hollow design, seamlessly connecting the bezel and caseback while arching to protect the mid-case. The contrasting elements between the mid-case, bezel, lugs, and caseback emphasize its intricate structure. The case diameter measures 41mm.
Highlight 2:
The dial is protected by a domed double-curved sapphire crystal, rising above the polished bezel to reveal the skeletonized tourbillon movement in its full glory. The custom AP 2948 caliber is a multi-layer manual-winding tourbillon movement with a vertically aligned structure. The tourbillon is positioned at 6 o’clock, while the mainspring barrel is located at 12 o’clock, creating a pleasing symmetry within the skeletonized design. The elegantly curved bridges of the movement feature three distinct shades of gray, adding depth and contrast against the light gray mainspring barrel and gear train.
The watch is paired with a nylon/leather strap featuring a calfskin lining and an AP pin buckle.
