Limited Edition of 50 Pieces
Audemars Piguet continues the development of the Code 11.59 collection by expanding its complications offerings. For the first time ever, Audemars Piguet has combined flying tourbillon with a flyback chronograph.
"The thread that connects all of our products past and present is that our cases are the canvas for highly detailed hand-finishing that creates a play of light when one examines the case's architectural geometry. The new Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph amplifies this experience by emphasizing the contrast of light and the various finishing techniques of the openworked dial elements and the multi-layered complex mechanism. All aspects of the watch case, dial and movement are essential platforms for our watchmakers and artisans to express their craft and the continuing story of Audemars Piguet."
Michael Friedman, Head of Complications, Audemars Piguet
