Audemars Piguet Super Clone Watches 1:1 Code 11.59 Tourbillon Blue Openworked 26600NB 41mm

Original price was: $1,799.00.Current price is: $1,329.00.

APPF Edition — Hybrid Calfskin Strap

APPF’s rendition of the Code 11.59 Tourbillon Blue Openworked 26600NB captures the complex architectural geometry of the genuine piece. The multi-piece case construction, featuring an octagonal midcase housed within a round bezel and caseback, demonstrates precise CNC machining tolerances rarely seen in standard replica production.

Powered by the custom AP Calibre 2948 manual-wind tourbillon clone, this movement features a vertically aligned architecture with the mainspring barrel at 12 o’clock and a sweeping, fully functional tourbillon escapement at 6 o’clock. The power reserve operates at approximately 36 hours, ensuring reliable daily performance.

The 41mm two-tone case measures precisely 13.9mm in thickness and weighs a verified 80.1g, reflecting the lightweight nature of its openworked design. The dial features deep blue accents on the inner flange, protected by the signature double-curved sapphire crystal that creates unique optical depth without severe dial distortion.

Description

APPF Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Tourbillon Blue Openworked 26600NB

A mechanical and architectural achievement that successfully replicates the distinct double-curved crystal and openworked tourbillon layout.

Powered by Custom AP 2948 Tourbillon Clone

The AP 2948 replica is a vertically aligned mechanism, featuring the sweeping tourbillon cage at 6 o’clock and the mainspring barrel at 12 o’clock. The elegantly curved bridges boast three varying shades of grey, providing immense visual depth against the openworked backdrop. Balance stability is achieved through precise multi-layer bridge construction, allowing the escapement to rotate freely while maintaining consistent amplitude.

⏱ Accuracy Profile:

±10–15 seconds per day. A deviation within this range is standard for Chinese-manufactured mechanical tourbillon clones due to the complex rotating escapement.

  • ✅ Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
  • ✅ Complications: Hours, minutes, and a fully functional 6 o’clock rotating tourbillon escapement
  • ✅ Winding Direction: Unidirectional (Manual winding via crown)

Technical Specifications

THE BUILDTwo-Tone Architectural Case

Measuring 41mm in diameter with a verified thickness of 13.9mm, the case features the correct octagonal midcase flanked by an ultra-thin round bezel and caseback, matching the alternating brushed and polished finishing of the genuine.

THE DIALOpenworked with Blue Accents

The skeletonized layout reveals the gear train, framed by a lacquered blue inner bezel with sharp, precise typographic printing and applied hour markers with proper depth.

THE BEZELUltra-Thin Profile

The round bezel features a vertically brushed top surface with high-polished chamfers, creating a stark contrast against the dark octagonal midcase.

THE BRACELETHybrid Calfskin Lined Strap

Combines the aesthetic of a woven textile with the comfort of a leather lining, secured by an AP-signed folding clasp engineered with tight mechanical tolerances.

Why APPF for This Reference?

Many collectors ask: “Why not standard tourbillon factories like R8F?”

APPF dedicated specific R&D to the Code 11.59’s notoriously difficult case architecture and crystal. The double-curved sapphire—which features an internal dome and a vertical curve from 6 to 12 o’clock—is executed with proper optical clarity, avoiding the extreme edge distortion seen in earlier iterations from other makers.

Full Disclosure: The manual-wind tourbillon clone, while structurally accurate, utilizes machine-finished anglage on the bridge bevels. Under a horological loupe, it lacks the brilliant, hand-polished chamfers of the genuine AP Calibre 2948.

Collector Q&A

Q: Does the double-curved sapphire crystal replicate the optical effect of the genuine Code 11.59?

A: Yes, APPF has engineered the crystal with a curved inner surface and a vertically curved outer surface from 6 to 12 o’clock, creating the signature optical depth without heavily distorting the dial elements at the edges.

Q: Is the tourbillon functional or just an exposed balance wheel?

A: It is a fully functional manual-wind flying tourbillon escapement that completes a full rotation every 60 seconds at the 6 o’clock position.

Q: How accurate is the two-tone case construction on this replica?

A: The APPF case correctly utilizes a multi-piece architecture, featuring a distinct octagonal midcase sandwiched between the ultra-thin round bezel and caseback, successfully mirroring the complex geometry of the genuine.

Q: What is the primary known limitation of this specific APPF tourbillon clone?

A: While the macro architecture is highly accurate, the anglage (beveling) on the movement bridges is machine-finished rather than hand-polished. Additionally, the power reserve is shorter than the genuine, requiring daily winding to maintain optimal amplitude.
