![[New Releases] Audemars Piguet Unveils Five New Timepieces: Expanding the Royal Oak and Code 11.59 Minute Repeater Supersonnerie Collections](https://blog.aristohk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Blog_Audemars-Piguet五款新作齊發-02-1024x536.webp)
Audemars Piguet has just launched an impressive suite of five new timepieces simultaneously, including the Royal Oak and Code 11.59 Minute Repeater Supersonnerie models, alongside a pair of Code 11.59 Selfwinding variations featuring natural stone dials. The former represents the manufacture’s relentless pursuit of acoustic engineering and high complications, while the latter excels in the mastery of organic materials. Together, they perfectly illustrate the brand’s apex capabilities operating on the dual tracks of technical prowess and aesthetic execution.
The Audemars Piguet Supersonnerie Acoustic Technology
Audemars Piguet’s Supersonnerie acoustic technology first debuted in 2016 inside the Royal Oak Concept RD#1, the culmination of an eight-year interdisciplinary development effort between horologists, musicians, and engineers. At its core, the system mounts the gongs directly onto a titanium resonance board. Working in tandem with a specially engineered case architecture and apertures in the caseback, it forms an acoustic cavity that renders the chiming significantly louder, crisper, and richer in harmonics; the underlying principle essentially scales the acoustic resonance box of a guitar down into a wrist-worn timepiece.
These three new Supersonnerie releases transition this once-experimental acoustic breakthrough into the established chiming collections of the Royal Oak and Code 11.59 lines. Notably, all three timepieces boast 20 meters of water resistance—an exceptionally rare feat for minute repeaters, as chiming complications traditionally sacrifice hermetic case sealing in favor of acoustic volume and tonal quality.
Royal Oak Minute Repeater Supersonnerie in Titanium
The titanium iteration of the Royal Oak Minute Repeater Supersonnerie (Ref. 26591TI.OO.1252TI.08) measures 42mm in diameter and 14mm thick. It features a smoked green fumé dial that transitions from a vivid emerald center to a near-black periphery. Notably, it eschews the Royal Oak’s signature Grande Tapisserie motif in favor of a sleek sunburst finish, yielding a more contemporary and restrained aesthetic. A color-matched small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock harmonizes beautifully with the dial’s gradient effect.
Beyond rendering the timepiece lighter on the wrist, titanium tangibly enhances the acoustic performance of the Supersonnerie. However, the manufacture is keen to emphasize that even the heavier pink gold variant retains a brilliantly resonant tone thanks to its case architecture. The titanium edition is limited to 50 pieces, priced at CHF 351,100.
Royal Oak Minute Repeater Supersonnerie in Pink Gold
The pink gold edition (Ref. 26591OR.OO.1252OR.01) also measures 42mm, marking the very first time the Royal Oak Minute Repeater Supersonnerie has been executed in this precious metal. This new reference is paired with a brown Grande Tapisserie dial and accented by a snailed small seconds sub-dial, leaning much closer to the familiar luxury sports archetype of the Royal Oak than its titanium counterpart. The rose gold variant commands a price of CHF 391,400.
Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Minute Repeater Supersonnerie
The third chiming offering is the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Minute Repeater Supersonnerie (Ref. 26395BC.OO.D009CR.01), measuring 41mm in diameter and 13.6mm thick. The timepiece utilizes an 18-carat white gold case, with the middle case crafted from the same precious metal. Its defining feature is a smoked sapphire crystal dial, allowing the wearer a subtle glimpse into the striking mechanism and partial operation of the Calibre 2953 movement on the dial side. This semi-translucent approach delivers mechanical dynamism without overpowering the aesthetic, a common pitfall of fully skeletonized dials. Fitted on a grey alligator leather strap with an 18-carat white gold folding clasp, it ensures this high complication maintains the refined elegance of a dress watch.
Priced at CHF 325,000, the Code 11.59 Minute Repeater Supersonnerie serves as the most “accessible” of the three, yet its acoustic technical specifications are identical to its Royal Oak siblings. For collectors who gravitate toward a more contemporary, highly architectural design language, it presents a disruptive alternative to the traditional Royal Oak.
The Calibre 2953 Minute Repeater Movement
All three novelties are powered by the hand-wound Calibre 2953. Introduced in 2019, it features hours, minutes, small seconds, and a minute repeater, boasting a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. The architectural roots of this caliber trace back to the 1990s; by choosing to integrate the Supersonnerie technology into an existing architecture rather than developing an entirely new movement from the ground up, the manufacture facilitated a more seamless acoustic upgrade.
More crucially, this movement’s performance in both volume and tonal richness is widely considered superior to many newer minute repeater architectures. For the manufacture, the Calibre 2953 is not merely the continuation of a legacy movement; it is proof that stellar traditional design, when married to modern acoustic engineering, continues to command a dominant position within contemporary haute horlogerie.
Two Code 11.59 Models with Natural Stone Dials
Alongside the trio of Supersonnerie minute repeaters, Audemars Piguet concurrently unveiled two Code 11.59 Selfwinding iterations utilizing natural stone dials: a yellow gold case paired with a Gold Obsidian dial, and a pink gold case matched with a Black Onyx dial. Both Code 11.59 models measure 38mm in diameter, are driven by the self-winding Calibre 5909, and offer a power reserve of approximately 60 hours.
The first is an 18-carat yellow gold Code 11.59 Selfwinding (Ref. 77410BA.OO.A604CR.01) equipped with a natural Gold Obsidian dial. Obsidian inherently contains mineral inclusions that yield subtle golden or metallic reflections under ambient light. By applying a sunburst finish to the dial, the manufacture allows this natural luster to flow dynamically with varying viewing angles, resulting in a three-dimensional depth that surpasses standard metallic dials. It is priced at CHF 45,500.
The second is an 18-carat pink gold Code 11.59 Selfwinding (Ref. 77410OR.OO.A001CR.01), featuring a mirror-polished Black Onyx dial. In stark contrast to the understated shimmer of Gold Obsidian, Black Onyx delivers a pure, abyssal black mirror effect. This grants the dial a remarkably clean and modern aesthetic, perfectly amplifying the brilliance of the diamond hour markers. It is priced at CHF 54,100.
