Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 26396BC.OO.D349KB.01 Flying Tourbillon White Gold Blue Sodalite Dial (2026)

A flying tourbillon has no upper bridge, so the cage appears to float — which matters more than usual here, because the dial is a slice of natural sodalite and any additional structure would fight the stone. Audemars Piguet pairs the two deliberately: the mineral supplies the colour and the movement supplies the movement, and neither competes. Sodalite slices differ from one another, so no two examples of this reference carry the same dial.

The white gold case measures 41 mm. The natural sodalite dial is complemented by a matching blue inner bezel, which continues the stone's colour past the edge of the dial rather than stopping at it. The tourbillon is self-winding. The watch is delivered on a blue textured rubber strap with calfskin lining and a white gold three-blade folding clasp, with an additional blue alligator strap. The flying tourbillon and the stone dial pull in opposite directions — one is engineered to a tolerance, the other is accepted as the earth supplied it — and holding both in one watch is the argument the reference makes. The reference belongs to the stone-dial run within Code 11.59.
