Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Tourbillon Openworked Two-Tone 2021
It might not have been the most complicated model in the 2019 inaugural line-up of Code 11.59, but it was certainly the most dramatic. With its openworked movement and contemporary architecture, Audemars Piguet's Tourbillon Openworked made its debut in pink gold with black bridges and plates followed by a two-tone pink and white gold model for the Only Watch 2019 charity auction. To show off its complex architecture, the latest Tourbillon Openworked repeats the Only Watch two-tone case formula but with different shades of grey to highlight the exposed movement.Multifaceted Two-Tone CasesAlthough Audemars Piguet does not have a tradition of two-tone cases - between 1882 and 1969, only eight models featured this combination - the contrast of two different metals is perfectly suited to highlight the dynamic architecture of Code 11.59 watches.
