Audemars Piguet Minute Repeater Supersonnerie

Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak Minute Repeater Supersonnerie, reference 26591CE.OO.D002CA.01, comes in a 42 mm black ceramic case measuring 14 mm thick. The black dial is finished with the Grande Tapisserie pattern and sits under a sapphire crystal. Inside is the manual-winding calibre 2953, a movement built for the minute repeater's chiming function and paired here with small seconds. This particular example is a special edition, reflecting the technical work Audemars Piguet has put into refining the acoustics of its repeaters. A black rubber strap closes with a titanium folding clasp. Water resistance is modest at 20 metres, a figure typical of complicated chiming watches rather than a shortcoming.
