Audemars Piguet Unveiled a New RO Minute Repeater Supersonnerie and a New Code 11:59 Tourbillon Openworked
A very brief Pitch Watch
After last week Audemars Piguet unveiled the new Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in Titanium as a non-limited edition, now brings us two more novelties, a new Royal Oak Minute Repeater Supersonnerie and a new Code 11:59 Tourbillon Openworked.
Royal Oak Minute Repeater Supersonnerie
The new RO Minute Repeater Supersonnerie comes with a titanium case and bracelet and features a smoked gray “Grande Tapesserie” dial, joining the 2019 and 2020 limited editions both also featuring a titanium case and bracelet with blue and salmon “Grande Tapesserie” dials, respectively and yet another limited edition in 2019 with a platinum case with black “Grande Tapesserie” dial and alligator leather strap. The new grayscale dial becomes darker as it expands from the center outward, housing a black small second at 6 o’clock and white gold applied hour indexes. The solid case back comes with open edges in order to make the sound of the gongs pass through. Inside operates the Caliber 2953 manual movement, which offers up to 72 hours of power reserve. It should also be noted that, unlike all the limited editions mentioned above, this is the first non-limited edition.
