Audemars Piguet Minute Repeater Supersonnerie

Audemars Piguet's Minute Repeater Supersonnerie, reference 26395BC.OO.D321CR.01, is a white gold watch measuring 41 mm across. The case houses the manual-winding calibre 2953, a movement built around AP's patented Supersonnerie technology for the minute repeater. A sapphire crystal covers the blue dial, which carries a small seconds subdial alongside the chiming mechanism. The minute repeater sounds the hours, minutes and quarters on demand, a complication that sets this piece apart from a standard time-only watch. Audemars Piguet fits the case to a hand-stitched blue alligator strap with a "large square scale" pattern, closed by an 18-carat white gold folding clasp. Water resistance is modest for a piece this complex: the case is rated to 30 metres.
