Audemars Piguet Minute Repeater Supersonnerie

Audemars Piguet's Minute Repeater Supersonnerie, reference 26395NR.OO.D002KB.01, comes in a 41 mm black ceramic case. The manual-winding calibre 2953 drives the openworked dial, visible through a sapphire crystal that lets the mechanism show through. Small seconds sits alongside the minute repeater, the piece's defining complication and the reason for the Supersonnerie name, which refers to the acoustic system developed to project the chimes more clearly. A black rubber strap closes with a folding clasp in rose gold, a detail that echoes the pink gold accents elsewhere on the case. The dial's openworked construction gives a direct view of the gongs and hammers that produce the chime. Water resistance is limited, and the case is rated to 30 metres.
