The Audemars Piguet brand and the Grande Sonnerie watch

Swiss fine watchmaking brand Audemars Piguet will launch five 41mm Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 series Grande Sonnerie Super Timepieces in Brassus in February 2025 to celebrate the brand’s 150th anniversary. The launch of the Audemars Piguet Grande Sonnerie watch is not only a reflection of the brand’s technical strength, but also the brand’s ultimate pursuit of details and quality.

Opal dial with three-tone structure

The two Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 series Bell Grande Sonnerie Super Timepieces use Harlequin opal and crystal opal as dials respectively, showing a unique three-dimensional internal structure, and the changing light and shadow effects are amazing. The Grande Sonnerie timepiece automatically chimes the time every hour and every quarter of an hour, and has sound and mute functions. It adopts a “three gongs and three hammers” structure, with clear sound quality and soft tone, comparable to a pocket watch.

The design and materials of five watches

The five Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 series Grande Sonnerie Super Timepieces launched this time, in addition to the two natural opal dial watches mentioned earlier, there are also three watches with rainbow sapphire dials. They are equipped with cases of different materials such as black ceramic, platinum, 18K white gold, and 18K rose gold. It is worth mentioning that in order to make the rainbow sapphire dials of these three watches, Audemars Piguet put a lot of thought into the design and took more than a year to realize them. The sapphire is cut into 0.45 mm thick slices. During the post-processing process, the material is too fragile and can easily crack, so the entire process needs to be handled carefully.

Movement and sound quality innovation

The dials of the other three watches are designed with sapphire transparency. In addition to being equipped with the new manual winding movement Caliber 2956, the transparent design allows the wearer to clearly appreciate the precise structure of the movement. The word “150” is engraved in the center of the bottom of the movement, symbolizing the brand’s 150th anniversary commemorative logo. It is worth mentioning that the five Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 series Zhongle Grande Sonnerie Super Timepieces launched this time, in addition to the timekeeping function that the wearer can set by himself, they will automatically sound every hour or every quarter of an hour, with clear and pleasant sound quality. This is more attractive to consumers who like pocket watches.

Audemars Piguet’s innovation and craftsmanship

Looking at the five Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 series Zhongle Grande Sonnerie Super Timepieces launched this time, it is not difficult to find that they not only innovate in sound quality and timekeeping functions, but also perfectly combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology in design. Through this new work, Audemars Piguet demonstrates its spirit of continuous innovation and pursuit of excellence in the field of watchmaking. The 150th anniversary logo is engraved on the bottom of the watch.

The 150th anniversary commemorative logo is not only a brand symbol, but also a special collection value.

The first 41mm watch is made of 18K rose gold with a Harley Quinn opal dial.

The second 41mm watch is made of 18K white gold with a crystal opal dial.

The 150th anniversary commemorative logo is not only a brand symbol, but also adds collection value to the watch.
