CODE 11.59 Ultra-Complication Universelle #RD4 Pink Gold / Silver

In Context

At 42 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 15.6 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 20 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 64 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

26398OR.OO.D002KB.01 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver matte dial with a pink gold case.

Self-winding movement with grande Sonnerie Supersonnerie, minute repeater, tourbillon, flyback chronograph, split-seconds chronograph, astronomical moon, moon phases, large date, hours and minutes. Total of 1140 parts including 90 jewels. 'Super-Crown' which enables forwards as well as backwards setting of the calendar. Gongs attached to a sapphire crystal membrane which allows the latter to function as a soundboard.

2 other watches in the library run the Audemars Piguet AP 1000.
