Audemars Piguet launches replica Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 Minute Repeater Supersonnerie with smoked sapphire dial

A modern take on a classic complication.

In addition to the Universelle grand complication, Audemars Piguet has another ace up its sleeve in the round watch collection. Originally launched with a blue enamel dial, the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Minute Repeater Supersonnerie now features a smoked sapphire dial and rose gold case for a more distinctive look.

One of the attractions of repeaters is the mysteries of the racks and levers that drive the repeater mechanism, which are usually hidden under the dial. Sometimes the best way to uncover their secrets is to simply not use a physical dial. luxury replica watches

A transparent sapphire dial is perfect for a minute repeater, as this complication is usually built on the dial side of the movement. Unlike other front-facing complications, such as perpetual calendars, repeater complications are highly interactive – the racks move in a mechanical dance during the repeater sequence, while the chimes sound, a performance that heightens the complication’s appeal.

For the Code 11.59 in particular, the tinted sapphire dial works particularly well. Paired with high-contrast pink gold, it is an ideal complement to the case design, as it blends an otherwise classic complication with a modern twist that complements the case’s modern styling.

As a result, the new minute repeater is one of the most attractive high quality replica watches in the Code 11.59 collection, with an inherent appeal that few in its class have.

While retaining the same case design, the new minute repeater is made from a more modern material. While previous iterations of this model were made entirely of 18k white gold, this one features a two-tone construction with a black ceramic case center sandwiching a rose gold bezel and caseback.

But of course, the highlight of the design is the sapphire dial, which offers a more vivid and dynamic presentation of the complication than the enamel dial of its predecessor.

In addition to allowing a partial view of the inner workings of the mechanism underneath, the sapphire dial catches the light, changing its appearance at different angles. swiss replica watches

The dial design is streamlined, with the hour markers and hands also pared down. Instead of the graduated numerals of the original watch, the hour and minute markers are simple stick-applied.

The Code 11.59’s design features an inner ring around the dial with printed minute numerals. This inner ring is used to enclose the movement, which has a diameter significantly smaller than the case, in part to accommodate the octagonal case middle. replica Breitling Classic AVI Watches

Despite its modern appearance, the movement inside has long been an AP stablemate. First unveiled in its original form three decades ago, the cal. 2953 is based on a traditional manual-winding minute repeater movement, evolving from the cal. 2907 that was used in the Jules Audemars minute repeater more than a decade earlier. The classic construction means that the minute repeater requires extra care when operating it, unlike the user-friendly Universelle, which is driven by the latest generation of movements.

One detail worth noting is the space visible below the six o’clock position on the dial, which is because the movement can accommodate a tourbillon, an additional mechanism found in other versions of this movement, such as the one in the Royal Oak Concept Superstriker. replica BRM watches
