Description
At the apex of horological achievement stands the automatic calibre powering this skeleton dial masterpiece, representing Audemars Piguet’s most ambitious complication to date within the Code 11.59 family. The 42mm white gold case of reference 26398BC.OO.D002CR.02 houses the RD#4 movement, a technical tour de force that combines perpetual calendar, minute repeater, and tourbillon functions in a single mechanism visible through the openworked dial architecture. This Ultra-Complication Universelle exemplifies the manufactory’s ability to merge contemporary case design with centuries-old complications, creating a timepiece that challenges traditional perceptions of both form and function. The skeleton treatment reveals every gear train and lever, transforming the dial into a mechanical theater where haute horlogerie unfolds in real time.
