Ep. 4 - Shaping steel into art - Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet / AUDEMARS PIGUET

The Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection welcomes the arrival of stainless steel. The Manufacture drew upon its machining and finishing expertise to produce the complex architecture of the case in this contemporary material that is far less malleable than gold. Four months were necessary for the development of the steel bezel and stylised lugs alone. The upper part of the lugs is welded to the extra-thin bezel with a soldering paste applied by hand, while the lower part leans delicately against the caseback in perfect alignment once assembled. https://aplb.ch/Design-in-Motion Ref. 77410OR.OO.A623CR.01 #Code1159 by #AudemarsPiguet
