6110Ap introduces Audemars Piguet's latest tourbillon skeleton watch, the Code 1

6110Ap introduces Audemars Piguet's latest tourbillon skeleton watch, the Code 11.59 series, Ref. 26600, featuring a complex, dynamic two-tone case. The new, signature double-curved crystal offers a unique visual experience! Highlight 1: A quick glance fails to capture the Code 11.59's complexity and impressive craftsmanship. Its seemingly round case and slender bezel are in fact a multifaceted fusion of bold, juxtaposed architectural shapes. In homage to the brand's iconic Royal Oak bezel, the case middle is octagonal, with thick brushed edges and polished chamfers. The lugs also feature a brushed surface and polished bevels, creating a hollowed-out design. Connecting the bezel and caseback, the arched shape protects the case middle. The contrast between the case middle, the bezel, lugs, and caseback emphasizes the delicate structure of the 41mm case. Highlight 2: The dial is protected by a domed, hyperbolic sapphire crystal, rising above the brightly polished bezel, revealing the skeletonized tourbillon movement. The custom-designed Caliber A is a multi-layer, manually wound tourbillon movement. The vertical arrangement of the movement, with the tourbillon at 6 o'clock and the barrel at 12 o'clock, creates a pleasing symmetry within the skeletonized movement. The movement's elegantly curved bridges are finished in three different shades of gray, accentuating its depth and creating a striking contrast with the light gray barrel and gear train. The watch is presented on a top-grained nylon leather strap with a calfskin lining and secured with an Apex pin buckle.
