Description
Among the most sophisticated complications in Audemars Piguet’s contemporary catalog, the Code 11.59 Grande Sonnerie Carillon with Supersonnerie technology represents the apex of chiming watch engineering in a 41mm white gold case. This reference 26397BC.OO.D321CR.04 combines the architectural reinvention of the Code 11.59 collection with one of horology’s most demanding complications, featuring a unique custom dial configuration that distinguishes it from standard production pieces. The Grande Sonnerie automatically chimes the hours and quarters without activation, while the Carillon function adds a third gong for Westminster chime sequences. Collectors recognize this as one of the most technically ambitious pieces in Audemars Piguet’s current lineup, bridging the brand’s traditional complications expertise with contemporary case architecture.
