When the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 series debuted earlier this year, it was met with a flurry of media coverage and enthusiastic comments. Audemars Piguet has had a new line of watches for some time, so the market reaction is sure to be strong. While many observers have found some merit in the first version of code 11.59, few analysts are willing to give the model a generally positive review. Six months later, however, the only auction of 2019 watches, scheduled for November 9 in Geneva, may give us the first glimpse of the direction the watch, code-named 11.59, may be heading. Man, this is great. Audemars Piguet code 11.59 tourbillon open work only watch version is something special.
Designed for the only watch auction, this unique 11.59 tourbillon open-top is expected to fetch six figures at auction this winter. What is its goal? To raise funds for ongoing research into duchenne muscular dystrophy. The event, one of the highlights of the watch's calendar, is held every two years and is eagerly awaited.
This is the first time Audemars Piguet has brought a two-color look to the code 11.59 family, and it works very well. The octagonal central ring (designed to evoke the octagonal borders of the iconic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and its offshore branch) stands out against the warm pink and gold, while the bicolor movement of Bridges calmly ties the whole thing together. It is these Bridges (12 o 'clock barrels and 6 o 'clock tourbillons), visible in their skeletal glory, that really make this work stand out and perhaps mark a new (better) design trajectory that could become the heart of the series. When code 11.59 was released, a common complaint was that dials, no matter how beautiful, clear, or well made, were a little... HMM... Ping. luxury mens watches 's a complicated, stylish, elegant, sporty love letter to everyone who has been in airbnb for the last 50 years. But the dial? They're fine.
Personally, the case seems to have taken years to design, and the dial was knocked off over a cup of coffee. But here, with the release of Audemars Piguet tourbillon open worksheets, we have a sense of consistency from case to case. The grand building of 18k white and pink gold boxes continues the joy of indoor sports. The handcrafted 2948 caliber is 31.65 mm wide and 4.97 mm thick. Its casing is a very durable 41 mm, with 30 m of water resistance. Unfortunately, the price and restrictions put it far beyond the reach of most people.
Scratch resistant ceramics are easy to produce in two colors: black and white. The possibility of a white ceramic Audemars Piguet royal oak calendar has been greatly increased since the 2017 black edition. It's eye-catching, to say the least. While many classic white ceramic straps have been softened by traditional straps (or at least straps), this watch is flawless.
In fact, it rains on the swiss watches brands to open your sensory cortex due to the fact that it is fully integrated with bracelets, each of the external components, although made from ceramic, complete with the same standard, we are used to the Associated Press famous high-end steel and gold cases and bracelets. The problem with white ceramics is that they are almost never really white. The fact that the temperature is much higher has led some to refer to it as "plastic" -- although we would have everyone skeptical and say they might not have made the same assessment if they had seen a ceramic watch made of cermet. It's not cream, or hazel, or any other kind of off-white, but it does have a strange depth of color that keeps it from looking as rough as plastic. With a pleasing 41mm wide and 9.5mm high reserve, this case is not only of the same proportion as its less avant-garde ranch mates, but it is also consciously more subtle than one might expect.
One thing that surprised me at first glance was the dial. I thought Audemars Piguet would choose a white-on-white color to really highlight the obvious white of watches and bracelets. Instead, the brand decided to add a gentler touch to this super-showy case. The dark blue tapestry dial is one of the most delicate and complex things in watchmaking: the base for a perpetual calendar. The motion behind the calendar is the caliber 5134, which pulses at a rather unusual 2.75hz (19,800 VPH). Slow as it was, the power reserve lasted only 40 hours-quite disappointing, especially given its high-tech look and the ap's deep-seated enthusiasm for self-praise. This may be due to the thinning of the mainspring which drives the motion.bell and ross replica
