Audemars Piguet

AP makes the case, bezel, and bracelet of this Offshore from black ceramic, which resists scratches. AP put the finer Petite Tapisserie pattern on the dial of the 2023 model and the larger Méga Tapisserie on the 2025 model.

AP cut away the dial of this perpetual calendar, so you can see the movement between tinted small dials for the day, date, and month. The titanium case has a bezel of bulk metallic glass, an alloy based on palladium.

Note how minimal the pushers are at 2 and 4 - you can barely see them. Pressing them takes less force than on a typical chronograph, AP says, and the hands return to zero in less than 0.15 seconds. AP made 150 for its 150th anniversary. The RD#5 is the fifth and last of AP's research watches.

On this Code 11.59, AP made the middle of the case from black ceramic and the bezel, back, and lugs from white gold. The open dial shows the flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock.

Sand gold, an alloy AP introduced on this watch in 2024, has a color between white gold and pink gold, and AP says it fades less over time than pink gold. AP plates the openworked movement to match the case.

This movement has two balance wheels, the parts that swing back and forth to keep time, on one shared axis, which AP says makes the watch more precise. AP introduced the design in 2016, and in 2024 it paired a steel case with a pink-gold-toned movement.

Yoon Ahn and Verbal, founders of the Tokyo label AMBUSH, designed this Royal Oak Concept with AP. There are only 150 copies. The flying tourbillon turns in a red anodized cage against a black aventurine dial, and AP supplies a black and a red rubber strap.

Every quarter hour this watch chimes the hours and quarters on its own, and it repeats the time to the minute when you press a button. Three gongs sound the quarters instead of the usual two, and AP says its patented Supersonnerie design makes the chime louder. AP made the case from sand gold, with a band of black ceramic around its middle.

For this flying tourbillon, AP made the case, bezel, and bracelet in a dark-blue ceramic it calls Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50. Nothing holds the tourbillon at 6 o'clock from above, so nothing blocks your view of it.
