Audemars Piguet, Le Brassus, Switzerland

Audemars Piguet is known for having produced some of the boldest watches of the last century. Combining traditional watchmaking with technical innovation, the multifaceted and curved architecture of the case of the Code 11.59 is unprecedented. It requires the use of dedicated tools and a range of hand-finishing techniques to get the kind of minute-detailing and aesthetic appeal the case offers. Scanderbeg Sauer photographed the various processes involved in the making of the case of the Code 11.59.
