Audemars Piguet's "Minute Repeater Supersonnerie" stands as the epitome of luxury wristwatches, with this complication extending to both dress watches and even Royal Oak cases. This complication represents a true gem in Audemars Piguet's technical expertise while paying homage to their longstanding history of watchmaking. The original "Concept Supersonnerie" was unveiled in 2014, showcasing Audemars Piguet's exceptional mastery of complications. The timepiece presented a fresh interpretation of a historic design, aiming to create a loud and melodious tone from a minute repeater.

Designed as a musical instrument, the complication garnered three patents: one for the gongs, one for a refined regulator, and the third for a tone-enhancing caseback with apertures that avoid obstructing the sound, a departure from the norm seen in most repeaters. This allows the watch to produce a louder chime when worn on the wrist compared to when it is not.

The present watch showcases a mesmerizing blue smoky enamel dial, exuding an irresistible charm. The organic nature of enamel and the skillful craftsmanship involved in its production make every dial truly unique. The shades of blue transition from lighter tones at the center to darker hues towards the edges, creating a captivating depth and richness of color. The Roman numerals on the dial are also made from enamel and during the painstaking production process, they were melted and fused into the blue enamel surface.

Further exemplifying the watchmaker's artistry, the caseback features an engraving depicting a master watchmaker at his workbench. Encased in hefty platinum, the present watch is in nearly new condition, and its minute repeater mechanism is widely regarded as one of the loudest and most sonorous available. It is offered complete with its warranty card and presentation box, presenting a remarkable opportunity for collectors to acquire a truly exceptional timepiece.
