For the first time in the collection, this special edition is adorned with a Tuscany blue grained dial. Similar to sandblasting, this finishing lends the surface a grainy texture, which requires great skill to achieve a homogenous rendering.

The dial is further embellished with baguette-cut diamond hour-markers (~0.32 carats), whose clarity and brilliance contrast with the snailed blue counters. The luminescent 18-carat white gold hands mirror the bezel, lugs and caseback in the same precious material, while the ceramic case middle echoes the shade of the dial.

Launched in 2020 to celebrate the opening of the new Musée Atelier Audemars Piguet in Le Brassus, the first model in the collection has a vintage aesthetic. Reinterpreting a rare chronograph from 1943, this limited edition of 500 pieces retains the aesthetic codes of the original timepiece with its two-tone steel and pink gold case enriched with a gold-toned dial.

 However, this remastered edition has a modern twist with a larger, 41mm case, repositioned counters enhancing legibility and, of course, a latest-generation chronograph movement, the Calibre 4409, whose refined finish is visible through the sapphire caseback. Combining the design of the 1940s with the latest watchmaking technologies, Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding symbolises both the tradition and the pioneering spirit that pervades every Audemars Piguet watch.

Calibre 4409, the Manufacture’s integrated selfwinding flyback chronograph movement, powers this two-toned wristwatch and features a 22-carat oscillating weight visible from the caseback.
