Shown on a blue textile strap, this AP Code 11.59 Tourbillon 26600NB replica carries a blue openworked dial with the gear train left visible between its skeleton bridges. This replica Code-1159 26600NB pairs the Code 11.59 tourbillon with an electric blue look, after the genuine white gold and blue ceramic edition limited to 50 pieces. NB stands for white gold with an electric blue ceramic middle case, giving the 26600NB a color profile no steel or gold reference can match. At 41mm, the case maintains the standard Code 11.59 proportions while introducing a vivid blue palette that changes how light plays across the movement.

Case & Movement Specs

Caliber Breakdown

The tourbillon carriage at 6 o’clock completes one rotation per minute, acting as a running seconds display while compensating for gravitational timing errors. The genuine Cal. 2948 is hand-wound, so no rotor blocks the movement view through the caseback. The hand-finishing on the bridges follows AP standards with beveled edges and circular graining visible under magnification. For a lower complication tier in the same case architecture, the 26048 reference offers a chronograph version as a point of comparison. The complete Code 11.59 lineup spans from simple three-hand references through chronographs to this tourbillon tier.

How It Compares

Against the two-tone 26600CR or the rose gold 26600OR, the blue version trades conventional gold warmth for color and rarity. The genuine 26600NB was limited to 50 pieces, which makes it a talking point among collectors who value rare colorways. The electric blue reads cool and vivid, and it comes on a matching blue textile-effect strap rather than leather. On the wrist, the case wears like the other 41mm Code 11.59 models. For the collector who wants the maximum convergence of unusual color and high complication in a Code 11.59 package, this replica Code-1159 26600NB represents that specific combination.
