This year, in a show of camaraderie and support for the watchmaking community, Audemars Piguet made its debut at Watches and Wonders 2026. With a booth depicting a House of Wonders, the Manufacture invited people to explore the artistry behind mechanical timekeeping through an immersive exhibition that bridges past and future.
Foremost among the product presentations was the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon 41 mm. Encased in 18-carat white gold with a black ceramic case middle, the watch features a new ivory-toned signature dial adorned with the collection’s signature pattern and is furnished with a black alligator strap.
Two 38 mm references crafted in 18-carat pink gold also joined the lineup. The first is fitted with a black dial paired with a matching black alligator strap, while the second features a silver-toned dial complemented by a brand-new brown calfskin strap with white stitching.
As part of its exploration into calibre innovation, the Manufacture unveiled its new in-house selfwinding perpetual calendar openworked movement, Calibre 7139, which celebrates the age-old artistry of openworking. Incorporating an all-in-one crown correction system and designed with ergonomics in mind, the new movement is housed in two 41 mm variants: a Royal Oak uniting titanium and Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG), and a timeless two-tone Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet, the first openworked perpetual calendar in the collection.
Audemars Piguet also introduced the Neo Frame Jumping Hour watch, powered by the Manufacture’s first selfwinding jumping hour movement, Calibre 7122. Based on Calibre 7121, which equips the Royal Oak “Jumbo” models, the movement was developed entirely in-house and combines an instantaneous jumping hour with trailing minutes, delivering precision, performance, and reliability. The watch is distinguishable by its pink gold and sapphire case, paired with a strap featuring a newly developed motif.
Two new calibres similarly enrich the Royal Oak line. The Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph 38 mm benefits from Calibre 6401, a new selfwinding chronograph movement developed for enhanced precision, reliability and visual refinement. The movement debuts in three references in stainless steel and pink gold. Each watch features a sapphire case back—a first for the Royal Oak Chronograph in 38 mm—revealing the refined architecture and finishing of the calibre within. The Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Selfwinding 41 mm, on the other hand, combines two innovations launched in 2025: the “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” ceramic and Calibre 7138. Protected by two patents, the latter features a revolutionary all-in-one crown adjustment, wherein the calendar can be adjusted without the use of tools and without the risk of damage.
Audemars Piguet also showcases its prowess in aesthetic diversity and mechanical refinement with two new openworked creations within the Royal Oak collection. Displaying a tone-on-tone design that extends seamlessly from case to movement, the first is the 39 mm Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Openworked that pairs the lightness of titanium with Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG), powered by the rhodium-toned Calibre 7124. In contrast, the 37 mm Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked is entirely crafted in 18-carat yellow gold, with the gold-toned openworked Calibre 3132 taking pride of place on the dial.
Speaking of dials, the Manufacture presents two new Royal Oak Selfwinding models with vibrant malachite stone dials. Crafted in yellow gold and available in 37 mm and 41 mm sizes, the warmth of the case material elevates the vivid green colour of the stone. Lively colours also grace three new iterations of the Royal Oak Offshore Diver 42 mm. Combining playful aesthetics with horological expertise, they pay tribute to creative diversity through new hues and contemporary materials.
