Silver-tone bridges, rose gold tone accents and a fully skeletonised dial define this AP Code 11.59 Openworked Tourbillon 26600 clone, presented in a polished white-metal case on black leather. This replica Code-1159 26600 41mm introduces the tourbillon complication into the Code 11.59 platform at its standard 41mm case diameter, making it one of the mechanically most ambitious pieces in the entire collection. The tourbillon cage at 6 o’clock rotates once per minute, visible through the openworked dial under its bridge at 6. Audemars Piguet engineered the Code 11.59 tourbillon references to showcase the mechanism while maintaining the collection’s architectural identity through its signature octagonal middle case.

Technical Overview

• Case diameter: 41mm
• Case material: stainless steel
• Dial: fully openworked, silvered inner bezel ring
• Crystal: double-curved sapphire
• Caseback: sapphire display
• Strap: leather with folding deployant
• Movement: clone openworked tourbillon movement, function video on request
• Functions: hours, minutes, tourbillon seconds
• Water resistance: 30 m (not for swimming)

The openworked dial shows the whole movement, with pink gold-tone bridges over the barrel at 12 and the tourbillon at 6. A silvered inner bezel with minute numerals keeps it legible.

Inside the Movement

The tourbillon carriage acts as the seconds indicator, completing a full rotation every 60 seconds. Through the sapphire caseback, the openworked movement stays in full view, letting you see the bridges, gear train, and mainspring barrel; the genuine Cal. 2948 is hand-wound with no rotor at all. Tourbillon movements within the Code 11.59 range represent the highest tier of complication AP offers in this case format. For a simpler approach to the same case design, the 26048 chronograph reference swaps the tourbillon for a chronograph.

What Sets It Apart

A tourbillon in a 41mm case is relatively compact by haute horlogerie standards, where tourbillon pieces often push past 43mm or 44mm. This reference keeps the size manageable for daily wear while still delivering the full mechanical spectacle through both crystal surfaces. The stainless steel case adds accessibility compared to the rose gold tourbillon variants, keeping the visual emphasis on the movement rather than the case metal. If you are drawn to the Code 11.59 design language and want the maximum mechanical complexity it can offer in steel, this replica Code-1159 26600 41mm addresses that specific interest directly.
