The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Grande Sonnerie Carillon Supersonnerie “150th Anniversary” blends haute horlogerie craftsmanship with contemporary design. This 41 mm marvel features a stunning 18-carat sand gold case paired with a black ceramic case middle, offering a striking two-tone aesthetic. The sapphire dial is framed by a black outer zone and sand gold-toned inner bezel, with matching gold hands and hour-markers enhanced by luminescent coating.
