Audemars Piguet marks a milestone in horological elegance with the debut of its first 38mm Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon. This refined timepiece combines tradition and innovation, introducing the ultra-thin Calibre 2968 (RD#3) in a new, compact size, offering intricate craftsmanship in a case designed for slimmer wrists.
Housed in an 18-carat sand gold case shimmering with 235 brilliant-cut diamonds, the watch glows with a subtle hue that shifts between white and pink gold. The movement’s flying tourbillon, visible through the dial, is a mechanical ballet designed to counteract gravity, enhancing precision and visual drama.
Its dial, finished in a rich sand gold tone using Physical Vapour Deposition, features concentric ripples designed by guilloché artisan Yann Von Kaenel, amplifying the piece’s artistic depth. Paired with a beige alligator strap and diamond-studded clasp, the watch achieves a perfect harmony of sophistication and cutting-edge watchmaking.
Continuing Audemars Piguet’s 150-year legacy of complications and miniaturization mastery, this latest creation represents a bold step forward, one that brings haute horology to a broader audience with timeless elegance and modern finesse.
