Steel yourself

More than just a round watch, Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet boasts an octagonal case middle as a part of its complex architecture. The complicated case has been primarily crafted from 18-carat white or pink gold, but stainless steel now brilliantly shines from a new collection.

The oversized Royal Oak Offshore, fondly nicknamed by collectors "The Beast", debuted in 1993 when smaller watches were all the rage. Just like in the fairy tale, the beast turns out to be a prince in Audemars Piguet's universe.

Leading from the front

Since 2015, Audemars Piguet has advanced haute horlogerie with a series of innovations, starting with the Supersonnerie technology (RD#1). An ultra-thin perpetual calendar movement (RD#2) followed in 2018, and an oscillator with increased amplitude (RD#3) was unveiled last year.

Icon celebrates its golden jubilee

At the 1972 edition of the Swiss Watch Fair in Basel, Audemars Piguet introduced the revolutionary Royak Oak in stainless steel armour protecting the thinnest self-winding mechanical movement of its era. Because of its hefty price tag, steel was ennobled with the same status as gold.

Reinterpreting the rainbow

E meralds, rubies and sapphires are not enough to mark the 50th anniversary of Royal Oak. Thus, Audemars Piguet included seven other precious stones rarely seen in Haute Horlogerie for commemorative timepieces.
