Description
APPF Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Tourbillon Openworked 26600OR
A technical milestone in replica manufacturing, achieving the distinct structural depth and true flying tourbillon architecture of the genuine article.
Powered by Custom Caliber 2948 Clone
To achieve the transparency of the genuine Openworked model, APPF developed a custom manual-winding flying tourbillon movement. This vertical architecture properly aligns the mainspring barrel at 12 o��clock and the tourbillon cage at 6 o��clock, establishing the necessary symmetry. Crucially, it operates as a true flying tourbillon, lacking an upper bridge, which allows an unobstructed view of the escapement rotating once per minute.
Rated at 卤10��15 s/day. As a manual-wind tourbillon clone, positional variance is higher than standard automatic calibers, but amplitude remains stable when fully wound.
- �� Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- �� Complications: Real Flying Tourbillon (60-second rotation)
- �� Winding Direction: Manual wind via crown
Technical Specifications
The 41mm case features the signature octagonal middle case sandwiched between the round bezel and caseback. It measures exactly 13.9mm in thickness, matching the necessary proportions to house the tourbillon carriage.
Devoid of a traditional dial, the movement bridges are finished in Slate, Dark Grey, and Black. The black lacquered rehaut provides stark contrast to the rose gold hands and markers.
The defining feature of the Code 11.59. The crystal is vertically curved and horizontally convex, creating unique optical dynamics and high clarity from acute angles.
Secured by an 18K rose gold plated AP folding clasp. The strap integrates cleanly with the distinct open-worked lugs of the case design.
Why APPF for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: ��Why not standard tourbillon factories like BBR?��
APPF specifically engineered the complex double-curved sapphire and the correct 3-tone bridge architecture for the Caliber 2948 clone. Generic makers often compromise by using flat crystals and standard tourbillon layouts that fail to mimic the vertical symmetry and upper-bridge-free design of the genuine 26600OR.
Full Disclosure: Due to the 316L steel base construction, the overall weight is 81.7g. This is substantially lighter than the genuine solid 18K rose gold piece. Furthermore, under a loupe, the anglage on the skeletonized bridges lacks the meticulous hand-finished beveling of a genuine Audemars Piguet.

Collector Q&A
Q: Does the tourbillon function like the genuine Caliber 2948?
A: Yes, the APPF clone features a functional flying tourbillon that rotates once per minute. Unlike cheaper replicas, APPF has removed the upper bridge to accurately reflect the genuine openworked architecture and vertical symmetry.
Q: How accurate is the double-curved sapphire crystal on this APPF model?
A: APPF has successfully replicated the unique Code 11.59 crystal profile, which is vertically curved and horizontally convex. This creates the correct optical illusions and depth when viewing the skeletonized movement from different angles.
Q: Is the rose gold tone accurate, and will it fade?
A: The 18K rose gold plating closely matches the genuine Audemars Piguet alloy tone. While durable for regular wear, as with all plated replicas, it requires careful handling to avoid deep scratches that could reveal the silver-toned 316L steel base underneath.
Q: What is the most noticeable difference between this APPF replica and the genuine 26600OR?
A: The primary tell is the physical weight. At 81.7g, this steel-based replica is significantly lighter than the solid 18K rose gold genuine piece. Additionally, under a horological loupe, the anglage on the movement bridges lacks the meticulous hand-finished beveling found on genuine AP calibers.
