Its mechanism is a masterpiece of high complexity, yet it is surprisingly simple to use. Join us in trying to crack code 11.59 RD#4
The name doesn't exactly come off the tongue - code 11.59 for the Audemars Piguet Ultra-Complication Universelle RD#4 - but the fun of this timepiece warrants every letter of its four-barreled name. We had the pleasure of meeting it at AP House in Zurich, an intimate space designed to elevate the client experience, with luxurious interiors that reference forests and lakes. Anne-Gaëlle Quinet, head of Audemars Piguet's complication department, and the melodious chime of RD#4 (for short) bring us this horological paradise.best replica watch site
keep it simple Before delving into the truly extraordinary details of the RD#4, first glances confirm the aesthetic considerations and desire to create a super-complication that is legible and intuitive to use. Despite its bulky mechanism, RD#4 carried no excess luggage. For example, the two-second flyback chronograph exists, but is not overwhelmingly "sporty" in its design. Various instructions are clear at a glance, including the perpetual calendar display with white characters on a black background. The big date on both discs will please those who prefer visual comfort as well as those of us with visions of the future. Because RD#4 is built to last. It will be with us all our lives and the lives of our children and grandchildren. The clarity of the display is particularly evident on the black or beige closed-dial versions, although the ornate decoration of the bridges of the skeletonized version fully deserves this ultra-complex timepiece.replica luxury watches
Is it wearable? Yes! “With the three crowns with push buttons, we have put a lot of thought into making these functions easy to use,” explains Anne-Gaëlle Quinet. "For example, the month is adjusted forward and backward via the 'Super Crown' at 2 o'clock, whose pusher also resets the flyback chronograph. The calendar can be adjusted at any time of the day or night without risk of damaging the mechanism."
Available in white or rose gold, the case measures 42mm in diameter, just 1mm more than the regular Code 11.59, and sits comfortably at 15.55mm in height. Thanks to the refined finish and structured lines of the Code 11.59 case, Audemars Piguet has opted for simplicity, but still enough entertainment. The wide dial opening, with a particularly narrow bezel, comes into play here by contributing to excellent readability. The RD#4 doesn't have any extra weight either, at exactly 182 grams. The model we saw came with a fabric strap, giving the watch a modern look while retaining an understated aesthetic.replica bubba watson watches
Selected Complications The watchmakers at Le Brassus spent seven years developing Caliber 1000, building on expertise and a legacy of previous breakthrough innovations. Caliber 1000 is composed of more than 1,100 components, including 23 complications and 17 technical devices, for a total of 40 functions. Among its many feats, the split-seconds mechanism is integrated into the rotor and clearly visible in its centre. The platinum rotors that wind the two barrels are engraved with sound waves, referencing the patented Supersonnerie mechanism that began in 2006 with eight years of research at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). The petite and grande sonnerie gongs of the RD#4 are connected to a sapphire crystal part that acts as a soundboard when the "secret" cover of the ingenious double back is closed. The mechanism can be seen by opening the lid.replica Jacob & Co. Astronomia Casino
Other highlights include a semi-Gregorian perpetual calendar that does not need to be corrected in 2100 (the next century year is not a leap year), a "realistic" moon composed of two concentric discs, and a flyback and split-seconds chronograph (a rare combination) . "The flying tourbillon was not on the original specification list," says Anne-Gaëlle Quinet, "but our CEO, François-Henri Bennahmias, tested the team. This meant changing the position of the moon phases." Inspired by 1899 The 19 complications of Audemars Piguet pocket watches, the extraordinary RD#4 is the first ultra-complex watch with a Code 11.59 case, setting a new benchmark for the complication watch industry.
