Description
APSF Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Flying Tourbillon Meteorite
A definitive execution of AP��s complex dress watch, highlighted by a structurally accurate octagonal midcase and a functional tourbillon escapement.
Powered by Custom Manual Wind Flying Tourbillon
At the heart of this replica is a highly specialized custom manual-winding flying tourbillon movement. Unlike open-heart mimics that merely expose the balance wheel, this caliber features a true rotating escapement at 6 o��clock that actively regulates the movement��s timing. The skeletonized architecture faithfully recreates the genuine layout, offering stable amplitude and sweeping motion across the balance assembly.
Custom tourbillon calibers of this grade are typically regulated to 卤8��12 seconds per day, prioritizing the stability of the rotating carriage over extreme chronometric precision.
- �� Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- �� Complications: Functional 60-second flying tourbillon
- �� Winding Direction: Manual wind via crown
Technical Specifications
Measuring 41.0mm in diameter and exactly 14.0mm thick, the case utilizes brushed and polished alternating finishing to highlight the openworked lugs and octagonal midcase, weighing in at a lightweight 83.1g.
The dial features a printed meteorite texture designed to emulate extraterrestrial Widmanst盲tten patterns, serving as an intricate backdrop to the exposed tourbillon carriage.
The two-tone smooth bezel features a highly polished finish, engineered to seamlessly integrate with the double-curved sapphire crystal for correct edge distortion.
Fitted with a premium strap and an AP folding clasp, offering secure engagement and correct branding engravings on the inner deployment arms.
Why APSF for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: ��Why not a generic factory?��
APSF has mastered the complex geometry of the Code 11.59 case, specifically the challenging octagonal midcase and the delicate welding points of the openworked lugs. While generic makers often cut corners with simplified, single-piece case constructions, APSF utilizes the correct multi-part architecture, resulting in the proper brushed and polished alternating finishing that defines modern Audemars Piguet.
Full Disclosure: The simulated meteorite dial, while visually striking at a distance, lacks the natural crystalline depth of genuine Gibeon meteorite, appearing slightly two-dimensional under direct loupe inspection. Additionally, the 83.1g weight is noticeably lighter than the solid gold genuine piece.

Collector Q&A
Q: Is the flying tourbillon on this APSF Code 11.59 fully functional?
A: Yes. Unlike open-heart mimics, this features a true rotating tourbillon escapement at 6 o��clock that actively regulates the movement��s timing.
Q: How does the double-curved sapphire crystal compare to the genuine AP?
A: APSF has successfully replicated the complex optical geometry. The crystal is curved on both the internal and external axes, providing the distinct visual depth and edge distortion characteristic of the genuine Code 11.59.
Q: Why is the weight of this replica only 83.1 grams?
A: The 83.1g weight reflects the use of stainless steel and lightweight structural alloys for the two-tone case. The genuine reference utilizes solid 18k white and pink gold, which carries significantly more mass.
Q: What is the main visual flaw of the simulated meteorite dial on this APSF model?
A: While striking at arm��s length, the simulated meteorite dial lacks the authentic, naturally occurring Widmanst盲tten crystalline structures of real meteorite. Under magnification, the texture reveals its printed origin rather than natural extraterrestrial etching.
