For decades, world-renowned watchmakers have come together at prestigious events like Geneva Watch Days, Dubai Watch Week, and LVMH Watch Week to unveil their latest and greatest horological creations and set the tone for the future of the market. For most, navigating the madness and taking in all the modern marvels is overwhelming in the best way possible, often offering an exclusive, up-close look at future collector's items before the public. Since 2021, Audemars Piguet has taken a different approach to its unveilings, offering a more intimate, personal experience for its team, collectors, and industry insiders at AP Social Club events. This year’s 2026 AP Social Club proved to be just as monumental as any other, not only because of Audemars Piguet’s 150th anniversary celebration but also as an extensive unveiling of some incredible new watches.
For 2026, the brand focuses on continuing to evolve its lineup with modern design and tech that focus on craftsmanship and precision, while also continuing to inspire its newest pieces by the original icons that paved the way and set benchmarks. Along with the addition of ultra-complicated pocket watches and 1920s jumping hours, collectors will appreciate updates to other familiar models, including the Code 11.59, Royal Oak, Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar, Royal Oak Offshore, and Royal Oak Chronograph. Even more eccentric designs, precious metals, breathtaking dials, and precise, in-house movements make this year’s Audemars Piguet unveiling truly memorable. Scroll below to see a full breakdown of all the new watch releases and to learn more.
150 Heritage Pocket Watch
Audemars Piguet’s 150 Heritage pocket watch marks 150 years of haute horology. At its core is the new Calibre 1150, an ultra-complicated movement built specifically for pocket use, with every pusher and corrector thoughtfully reworked to feel natural in the hand. Flip it over and you’ll find the debut of AP’s Universal Calendar, a beautifully legible mechanical guide to celestial cycles that have shaped how we mark time across cultures. With 47 functions and 30 complications, it sounds intimidating, yet it’s designed to be surprisingly intuitive. Wrapped in hand-engraved platinum, glowing Grand Feu enamel, and paired with a handmade chain, this two-piece creation quietly suggests what modern, portable haute horlogerie can look like when craftsmanship leads the conversation.
Openworked Perpetual Calendars
Audemars Piguet’s new Calibre 7139 brings the perpetual calendar into a more modern, wearable rhythm. The in-house selfwinding movement pairs classic openworked craftsmanship with a cleaner, more legible calendar layout, making a famously complex complication easier to live with day to day. The all-in-one crown correction system keeps things intuitive, while the openworked architecture lets light pass straight through the movement, putting the mechanics front and center. Making its debut in a 41 mm Code 11.59 and a striking Royal Oak that blends titanium with Bulk Metallic Glass, Calibre 7139 shows up behind sapphire dials that reward a closer look. It’s a natural successor to the retired Calibre 5135, opening a new chapter for one of watchmaking’s most poetic complications.
Neo Frame Jumping Hour
Audemars Piguet’s Neo Frame Jumping Hour is a deep pull from the brand’s archives, brought forward into the present without losing its sense of style. Inspired by a 1929 rectangular pocket watch and the Streamline design movement, the watch has strong vertical lines and architectural proportions rather than the usual round case comfort zone. Inside is Calibre 7122, AP’s first selfwinding jumping hour movement, which adds a quietly mechanical twist to an already unconventional design. The pink gold and sapphire case gives the watch a light, almost floating quality, while the newly patterned strap reinforces its vintage-meets-modern personality.
Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 'Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50'
The new 41 mm Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar brings two recent Audemars Piguet developments together in a way that’s easy to appreciate once it’s on the wrist. The case and bracelet are crafted entirely from “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” ceramic, a deep, historically rooted color that plays with light across polished and satin-brushed surfaces while keeping the watch surprisingly light. Inside is Calibre 7138, featuring an all-in-one crown system that allows the perpetual calendar to be adjusted without tools or the usual fear of doing something wrong. The dial layout is cleaner, making the calendar information quicker to read at a glance.
Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon
This new Code 11.59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon keeps things visually interesting. The 41 mm case pairs white gold with a black ceramic middle, a combination that’s become a quiet signature for the line, while the ivory-toned dial adds warmth and texture. The guilloché pattern, developed with artisan Yann von Kaenel, uses concentric circles and subtle PVD coloring to create depth that shifts as the light moves, rather than demanding attention all at once. At six o’clock, the flying tourbillon in Calibre 2950 is left fully exposed, rotating without an upper bridge and visible from both sides of the watch. Pink gold details on the hands and markers add contrast, tying the whole design together in a way that feels considered and balanced rather than overworked.
Royal Oak Offshore Ceramic
Audemars Piguet’s two new 43 mm Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronographs mix modern materials with the brand’s watchmaking know-how in a way that’s purposeful. The first pairs a deep “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” ceramic case with titanium accents and a textured calfskin strap, set off by a beige Méga Tapisserie dial with matching blue details for a subtle two-tone effect. The second goes darker and sportier, combining a titanium case with a black ceramic bezel, pushers, and crown, paired with a smoked green PVD Méga Tapisserie dial and grey-green rubber strap. Both run on the in-house integrated flyback chronograph Calibre 4401, visible through the sapphire caseback.
