If you’re looking for the latest Audemars Piguet Replica news, 2026 marks a turning point for the Le Brassus-based manufacture. Following the historic milestone of its 150th anniversary, the Maison is opening the year by focusing on the everyday experience. The new releases in the first few months anticipate participation in Watches and Wonders (starting April 14th), bringing with them a decisive push towards movement architecture and ergonomics, with the aim of making high complications easier to experience.

In this article, we analyze in technical detail the key models presented yesterday, February 3, 2026, separating the simple aesthetic updates from the true mechanical innovations such as the new chronograph calibers and the jumping hours of the Neo Frame collection, all innovations taking shape in the new manufacture.

In Brief: 5 Technical Innovations You Should Know
New Collection: The Neo Frame Jumping Hour debuts, a rectangular watch with jumping hours and retrograde minutes powered by Caliber 7122.
Technical Upgrade: The 38 mm Royal Oak Chronographs abandon the caliber 2385 for the new in-house caliber 6401, now visible through the caseback.
Ergonomics: The new Perpetual Calendars (Code 11.59 and Royal Oak) allow all adjustments directly from the crown, eliminating lateral correctors.
Materials Code 11.59: The Flying Tourbillon arrives with a black ceramic mid-case and white gold bezel.
High Complication: The 150e Héritage, a pocket watch with 47 functions and a universal calendar.

Here, Audemars Piguet changes the rules of the game. It’s not just a complication, but a whole new collection: the Neo Frame. The design breaks with the lines of the Royal Oak to recapture the spirit of the Streamline Moderne from 1929 (reference 1271), but with an architectural construction. The case has no bezel: the sapphire crystal “clips” directly onto the rose gold structure, held in place by eight lateral “gadroons.” Read the hour in a window at 12 o’clock (instantaneous jump) and the minutes on a rotating disc at 6 o’clock.

Caliber 7122

Code 11.59 Flying Tourbillon: Ceramic and White Gold

The Code 11.59 collection continues to be a favorite laboratory for experimentation with materials. The new Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon introduces a sophisticated two-tone aesthetic: an extra-thin bezel and 18-karat white gold lugs contrast with the octagonal black ceramic middle case. The ivory-colored dial features a concentric guilloché pattern radiating from the flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock.
