Early each year, Audemars Piguet gathers journalists, collectors, and friends of the brand to debut its new crop of watches. Offering a rare peek behind the curtain of one of the world\u2019s most acclaimed horological maisons, the gathering provides an opportunity to speak with designers, executives, and aficionados for an inside scoop on how each fresh timepiece was conceived, and manufactured. While 2025 was a particularly auspicious year\u2014the company celebrated its 150th anniversary\u20142026 is no less exciting: This February, AP revealed the Neo Frame Jumping Hour, a brand new conception that reimagines a little-scene complication from the 1920s in a modern, automatic form factor. Beyond this exciting new watch, fresh versions of fan favorites such as the Royal Oak Mini and Royal Oak Self-Winding are on offer, as are skeletonized versions of the crown-adjustable Royal Oak and Code 11.59 perpetual calendars from last year. And let\u2019s not forget the new 150e H\u00e9ritage, a pocket watch crammed with nearly 50 different functions\u2026<\/p>\n

A quick perusal of Audemars Piguet\u2019s website conveys just how much emphasis is still placed by the maison on the Royal Oak: Of five collections, three are derived from G\u00e9rald Genta\u2019s famed design (Royal Oak, Royal Oak Offshore, and Royal Oak Concept). In 2019, the brand launched Code 11.59, and in 2020 it introduced the Re[Master], a platform that reimagines vintage A.P. watches. This is why it\u2019s particularly exciting to report that the brand is debuting a watch that fits neatly into none of these categories: Meet the new Neo Frame Jumping Hour ($71,200), a model based upon a 1929 jumping-hour watch (pre-reference 1271) that combines Streamline Moderne design influence with cutting-edge horological technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Housed in a 32.6 mm x 34 mm 18-karat pink-gold case with a height of just 8.8 mm, it boasts horizontal gadroons on its flanks and features a black PVD-treated sapphire dial screwed directly into the case via its plate. Housing two apertures for the hours and trailing minutes, it immediately calls to mind 1920s\/1930s classics such as Cartier\u2019s Tank \u00e0 Guichets<\/a> and similar designs from the likes of Cortebert and IWC that make use of Joseph Pallweber\u2019s famous jump-hour system. Unlike vintage designs, however, the Neo Frame is powered by an automatic movement\u2014AP\u2019s first self-winding jump hour movement, the cal. 7122, which ticks along at 4 Hz and boasts a 52-hour power reserve. Incorporating a special shock-absorption system to prevent accidental hour jumps, it\u2019s beautifully finished with ample C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve and satin brushing finishing.<\/p>\n \tAudemars Piguet 150e H\u00e9ritage Pocket Watch<\/p>\n \t\t If Henry Graves were alive today, there\u2019s little doubt that the new 150e H\u00e9ritage Pocket Watch (price upon request) would be at the top of his Christmas list. A (somewhat belated) celebration of the maison\u2019s 150th anniversary, it takes the form of a spectacularly hand-engraved 50 mm platinum case with grand feu enamel dials to convey a truly stunning amount of information: 47 functions (spanning some 30 complications) include a flying tourbillon, a split-seconds chronograph with flyback capability, grande and petite sonneries with a supersonnerie, a semi-Gregorian perpetual calendar, and more. And that\u2019s only half the story: Open its sapphire \u201csecret\u201d caseback and a Universal Calendar is revealed with solar, lunar, and other displays. It also displays 18 different indications, from basic calendar information (day, date, moonphase, etc.) to solstices, equinoxes, and even nine global cultural celebrations.\u00a0<\/p>\n Powering the 150e H\u00e9ritage Pocket Watch is a reconfigured version of the Calibre 1000, the movement powering AP\u2019s RD#4<\/a>. Featuring no fewer than 1,140 components and 90 jewels, it runs at a vintage-esque 90 Hz and features a 60-hour power reserve and redesigned crown pushers and correctors. Unlike vintage supercomplications, this one was constructed via the use of advanced 3-D modeling techniques, ensuring optimal ease of use and comfort. Limited to just two pieces and combining haute horlogerie with incredible hand-finishing, it\u2019s the type of product tailor-made for super-collectors, titans of industry, and those who tuly understand the meaning of \u201csupersonnerie.\u201d<\/p>\n \tAudemars Piguet Royal Oak and Code 11.59 Perpetual Calendar Openworked<\/p>\n \t\t In early 2025\u2014just in time for the brand\u2019s 150th anniversary\u2014Audemars Piguet revealed a stunning new perpetual calendar<\/a> movement, the Calibre 7138. By integrating various calendar functions into a single plane, it remained incredibly thin; and by means of clever engineering, it combined all adjustment functionality into the crown, making for an intuitive system that slotted neatly into both the Royal Oak and Code 11.59 collections. For 2026, AP is offering openworked versions, both of which are powered by the new Calibre 7139, a skeletonized take on the cal. 7138. By removing metal via the use of EDM (electric discharge machining) and decorating its componentry via satin brushing, chamfering, and other hand-finishing techniques, the movement\u2019s architecture is laid bare for the wearer via a sapphire dial and caseback.\u00a0<\/p>\n Housed in an 18-karat white-gold case with a black ceramic midcase, the 41 mm Code 11.59 version (118,000 CHF, approximately $151,800) strikes a dressier tone with the addition of a black alligator leather strap. The Royal Oak version (180,300 CHF, approximately $232,268), meanwhile, is composed of titanium with a high-tech BMG (Bulk Metallic Glass) bezel, caseback, and studs. The displays on both watches are organized in the European calendar mode, with the day of the week at 9 o\u2019clock, the date at 12 o\u2019clock, and the month at 3 o\u2019clock, with additional peripheral week, moonphase, leap year, and 24-hour indicators rounding out the feature set. Able to account automatically for leap years, the watches\u2014if kept wound\u2014will next require manual correction in the year 2100. Both visually and mechanically spectacular, they represent the pinnacle of the AP\u2019s longstanding dominance of the perpetual calendar complication.<\/p>\n \tAudemars Piguet Royal Oak Mini<\/p>\n \t\t
