Introducing The New Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Flying Tourbillon 38mm

Since its debut in 2019, the Code 11.59 line has been a canvas for Audemars Piguet’s modern vision of haute horlogerie. Its round profile with an octagonal middle case bridges heritage and innovation. Continuing its 150th anniversary, Audemars Piguet evolves once more by introducing a new family of 38mm timepieces. After unveiling its first-ever Perpetual Calendar in this compact size, the brand now adds three striking Flying Tourbillon models to the collection, each distinguished by a vibrant natural stone dial.

The trio is presented in 18K pink gold with a blue sodalite dial, 18K white gold with a ruby zoisite dial, and 18K yellow gold with a malachite dial. Each case measures 38mm in diameter and just 9.6mm in thickness. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters.

Each dial is crafted from a carefully cut gemstone, sodalite, ruby zoisite, or malachite. Because every stone is unique, each dial carries its own natural pattern and variations in color. At 6 o’clock, the flying tourbillon appears to float above the dial, its cage supported only from below, creating a captivating focal point.

Powering the collection is the Calibre 2968, an ultra-thin automatic movement measuring just 3.4mm thick. Introduced in 2022, it features a titanium tourbillon cage with a peripheral drive to reduce weight and improve efficiency. The calibre delivers a 50-hour power reserve and operates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3Hz).

Each model is paired with a color-coordinated alligator strap, red for ruby zoisite, blue for sodalite, and green for malachite, secured by a matching gold folding clasp. In line with the 38mm Perpetual Calendar variants, these Flying Tourbillon references are limited to 150 pieces each. Prices are available upon request.
