The two-tone case of 18K white gold and rose gold highlights the overall structure of the Code 11.59 Tourbillon Openworked watch. The ultra-thin bezel, the uniquely styled lugs and the round bottom cover are made of 18K white gold, which is a clever contrast with the middle layer of the octagonal case made of 18K rose gold. Each part is meticulously hand-finished, using satin polishing and polishing chamfers alternately. The complexity of the case finishing process lies in the neat alignment of multiple corners and round surfaces. Only by hand polishing by the watchmaker can a harmonious and beautiful surface effect be achieved.

A timepiece with a two-tone gold case is very rare in the history of Audemars Piguet watchmaking, and it is also an indispensable part of the development process of Audemars Piguet timepieces. Among the 550 watches produced and sold by Audemars Piguet between 1882 and 1969, only 8 used a two-tone gold case. According to Audemars Piguet’s historical documents, there are very few watches with white gold and rose gold materials, and there was only one before 1978. In recent decades, watches with two-tone cases have become more common in the industry, and their refined and elegant style has always been the same.

The watch is equipped with a multi-layered manual winding skeleton tourbillon movement Calibre 2948. The hollow dark gray main bridge and bridge bridges complement each other with the rose gold tone balance wheel and the light gray hollow barrel and gear train. The main splint and the bridge-shaped splint are clearly visible on the front and back of the watch, and are treated with vertical satin polishing for more visual impact. In addition, the barrel and gears are polished with a satin ring pattern.

The dark gray lacquered inner bezel complements the skeleton movement, highlighting the slim bezel design, which is almost hidden around the dial. The long 18K rose gold hands add subtle colors to the dial, echoing the balance wheel and the middle of the case. The unique hyperboloid sapphire crystal mirror perfectly blends with the geometric curvature of the ultra-thin bezel, highlighting the beauty of contemporary design. The table mirror adopts an exquisite structure, with rich layering and light and shadow effects, highlighting the meticulous hand finishing of the hollow movement.Audemars Piguet Watches Replica
