Jules Audemars Minute Repeater Platinum / Black Enamel

In Context

At 43 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. At 13.15 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and 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. 40 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer.

26590PT.OO.D002CR.01 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black dial with a platinum case. Introduced in 2016. Beyond the time it carries a minute repeater.

Slim (2.45mm) self-winding movement, originally created by Jaeger-LeCoultre and used by Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe. No date. Suspended barrel. Manual finishing of the bridges (polished bevels, satinbrushed edges, Perlage on the recesses)
