Audemars Piguet Closes 2026 With Five Watches: Three Chiming Flagships, Two Stone-Dial Dress Pieces

Audemars Piguet Closes 2026 With Five Watches: Three Chiming Flagships, Two Stone-Dial Dress Pieces

One Drop, Two Philosophies: Chimes And Stone

Audemars Piguet is ending 2026 with five new references split across the Royal Oak and Code 11.59 collections. Three are Minute Repeater Supersonnerie chiming watches built around acoustic engineering; the other two are compact 38 mm Code 11.59 Selfwinding models with volcanic stone dials. It is a deliberate pairing of the manufacture's most technical complication with its most tactile dial craft.

Same Calibre, Three Executions

All three repeaters share the hand-wound Calibre 2953 with Supersonnerie technology, a 72-hour power reserve, a 21,600 vibrations-per-hour frequency and 32 jewels. The repeater slider sits on the case flank at 9 o'clock and sounds the hours, quarters and minutes through gongs and hammers. Two arrive in the 42 mm Royal Oak line; the third brings the same movement to the 41 mm Code 11.59.

Titanium Royal Oak Goes Green And Smoked

The first Royal Oak, reference 26591TI.OO.1252TI.08, pairs a 42 mm titanium case and integrated titanium bracelet with a green satin-finished sunburst dial darkened toward the edge. A matching green small-seconds counter keeps the color scheme intact, while white gold hands and silver-toned pink gold markers with luminescent fill supply contrast. The case is 14 mm thick with 20-metre water resistance.

Pink Gold Joins The Supersonnerie Range

The second Royal Oak, reference 26591OR.OO.1252OR.01, is the first pink gold execution of this model. Its 18K pink gold case and integrated bracelet frame a brown Grande Tapisserie dial with a matching brown inner bezel and small-seconds counter, plus pink gold hands and luminescent markers. Dimensions and water resistance match the titanium version exactly.

Code 11.59 Repeater Returns In White Gold

The third chiming watch, reference 26395BC.OO.D009CR.01, is a new iteration of the 2023 Code 11.59 Minute Repeater Supersonnerie. Its 41 mm 18K white gold case, 13.6 mm thick, carries a gray smoked sapphire dial that exposes Calibre 2953 beneath, with galvanic-grown texture on the minute track and the rim of the small-seconds counter. White gold baton hands and markers complete the display, and the watch comes on a gray alligator strap with 20-metre water resistance.

Obsidian And Onyx Shrink The Code 11.59

The remaining two watches take the Code 11.59 Selfwinding down to 38 mm by 9.6 mm with the automatic Calibre 5909 and a 60-hour power reserve. The Obsidian model sets a yellow gold case around a textured sunray obsidian dial with faceted yellow gold markers and a peripheral 60-minute scale; the Onyx model interprets the same volcanic-stone idea in a pink gold case with a black onyx dial. Both are time-only dress watches.

Priced For Two Audiences

The three minute repeaters are listed as price on request, aimed squarely at top collectors. The stone-dial pair carries published UK pricing at 45,300 pounds for the Obsidian and 53,900 pounds for the Onyx, positioning them as the accessible end of this release.

What Comes Next Is Allocation And Pricing

The open questions are the repeater prices and how few collectors will get them, plus how the volcanic stone dials look in person, since natural stone varies piece to piece. For now, the message is clear: Audemars Piguet wants Supersonnerie chiming and experimental dial materials to define the top of both collections heading into next year.
