”Create the grand complication watch of the 21st century”was the initial brief given to the engineers and watchmakers at Audemars Piguet.
After seven years of development,the new Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Ultra-Complication Universelle RD#4 is a distillation of all the technologies developed by the manufacturer.
40 functions in total,including 23 complications and 17 technical features,for a”paranormal”watch.
A journey to the land of fine watchmaking.

Tribute to the 1899 L’Universelle pocket watch
Like Audemars Piguet’s Universelle,a pocket watch from 1899 to which the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Ultra-Complication Universelle RD#4 pays historical homage.
A Replicas Watches of superlatives
A total of 40 functions,23 complications,and 17 technical features are concentrated in this 42 mm case—instead of the usual 41 mm of the Code 11.59 collection—with a thickness of only 15.55 mm.
A Grande and Petite Sonnerie,minute repeater,flying tourbillon,semi-Gregorian perpetual calendar(day,large date,month,year,astronomical moon,moon phases),and flyback split-seconds chronograph.
These main complications make this timepiece a beautiful and powerful machine.

Flying Tourbillon
At first glance,nothing distinguishes this flying tourbillon from any other.
However,when the eye takes a closer look at the cage located at 6 o’clock,its heart begins to beat faster.
And for good reason:this new oscillator rotates at a greater amplitude than usual because it must store a lot of energy to power all the complications.
Developed for this watch,this device comes directly from the Royal Oak Extra-Thin Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon RD#3,launched last year for the Royal Oak’s fiftieth anniversary.
With a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour,it offers approximately 60 hours of power reserve.
Semi-Gregorian Perpetual Calendar
Respectively positioned at 9 o’clock,12 o’clock,and 3 o’clock,the day of the week.
The large date,and the month share the spotlight with the leap year at 4 o’clock,indicating the last two digits of the year.
This was a well-thought-out approach by the manufacturer’s workshops,because to update a QP,it is very useful to know which leap year it is.
The challenge is therefore considerable:finding a mechanism that will automatically recognize it so as not to have to adjust the watch.
The semi-Gregorian perpetual calendar advances the day,date,and year by assimilating the number of days per month(with leap years).
But it also takes into account the correction every 100 years imposed by the traditional Gregorian calendar.

Hit the Moon
The Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Ultra-Complication Universelle RD#4 Replicas Watches wouldn’t be a perpetual calendar without a beautiful moon phase.
In complete symmetry with the year window at 4 o’clock.
Flyback split-seconds chronograph
A very useful system for aviators to plot different headings,the flyback function allows.
Today,the manufacturer’s workshops have coupled it with a split-seconds chronograph to measure intermediate times.

Let the music play
Grande Sonnerie,Petite Sonnerie,minute repeater…
This exceptional edition knows its stuff well.
And for good reason:a conductor in every respect,it masterfully directs—and with a pushbutton engraved with a treble clef on the caseband—a remarkable musical trio.
It is equipped with the traditional Grande Sonnerie striking the hours,quarters,and minutes.
The Petite Sonnerie,which only strikes the hours,and a minute repeater.
And Supersonnerie
This instrument is also equipped with the Supersonnerie.
The result of eight years of close research collaboration with theÉcole Polytechnique de Lausanne.
This technology patented by Audemars Piguet is featured on the 2015 RD#1 model.
Watchmakers,technicians,scientists and musicians have worked together to create a soundboard that is durable and waterproof for everyday use.
