The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Perpetual Calendar (ref. 26494BC.OO.D350KB.01) introduces a striking visual twist to the lineage with its ice blue grande tapisserie dial, offering a rare chromatic counterpoint to the 18-carat white gold case. Released in 2025, it positions one of the manufacture’s most technically revered complications within the contemporary architecture of the Code 11.59 collection.

Measuring 41mm in diameter and 10.6mm thick, the case’s layered construction alternates polished and brushed surfaces with architectural precision. The new calibre 7138 is a self-winding perpetual calendar that departs from its predecessors by requiring no recessed pushers – all functions, including the moonphase at 6 o’clock and displays for date, day, month, and leap year, are adjusted directly through the crown. The movement delivers a 38-hour power reserve and is visible through the sapphire caseback. Water-resistance is rated to 30 m.

This reference marks a progressive evolution within Audemars Piguet’s perpetual calendar lineage, coupling discreet innovation with visual freshness. The icy palette and streamlined interface amplify the Code 11.59’s appeal to collectors drawn to minimalist complexity anchored by haute watchmaking pedigree.
