Audemars Piguet Minute Repeater Supersonnerie

Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak Minute Repeater Supersonnerie, reference 26591TI.OO.1252TI.02, comes in a 42 mm titanium case measuring 14 mm thick. The salmon "Grande Tapisserie" dial sits under a sapphire crystal and shows hours, minutes and small seconds. Inside is the manual-winding calibre 2959, which drives the minute repeater, a mechanism that chimes the time on demand at the press of a slide. Audemars Piguet has produced this reference as a limited edition of only 35 pieces, each cased in titanium rather than the usual precious metal. The titanium bracelet closes with an AP folding clasp of the same material. Water resistance is modest for a piece like this: the case carries a rating of 20 metres.
