Here’s All 21 of Audemars Piguet’s Wild New Watches

February 3, 2026 / Kevin harson /

For those who eagerly await each year’s fresh crop of goodies from Audemars Piguet, last year’s news was particularly exciting: Just in time for the brand’s 150th anniversary, it released a new perpetual calendar movement adjustable completely via the crown. (This is a big deal because—as anyone who owns a perpetual calendar will surely tell you—the complexity of these watches makes them difficult to set.) Powering fresh references in both the iconic Royal Oak as well as the newer Code 11.59 collections, it set the tone for an ambitious release calendar that also saw the brand drop its high-tech RD#5—a watch whose pusher action was more akin to that of a cell phone than a traditional chronograph.

Still, it would seem that the La Brassus-based maison is ever ready to push the horological envelope. This week, AP is debuting no fewer than 21 distinct references—and we’re only a month into 2026. Most exciting is the new Neo Frame Jumping Hour, a modern reimagining of 1920s jump hour designs that are in the midst of a major comeback. Powered by an automatic movement, it adds a classy new case profile and compelling complication to the brand’s oeuvre, proving that AP is far from a one-trick, Royal Oak-themed pony.

Fear not, however: For those for whom AP does in fact begin and end with Genta’s famed luxury sports watch, there’s plenty to be excited about—an openworked version of last year’s perpetual calendar is on offer, as are fresh versions of the openworked Double Balance Wheel and “Jumbo.” As for Code 11.59? There’s plenty to love, including a gorgeous new Flying Tourbillon and a couple of time-only executions in pink gold. But those who know AP understand that this is a brand that loves its complications, and to that end, we invite you to meet the new 150E Héritage Pocket Watch, a mind-blowingly sophisticated instrument capable of tracking all sorts of information—including the occurrence of nine global cultural celebrations.

With 2026 off to such a strong start, we can only imagine what delights AP has next in store. For now, scroll down for an entertaining romp through La Brassus’s latest creations.

This year’s pièce de résistance is the Neo Frame Jumping Hour, a watch that’s a major departure from AP’s existing collections. Much like Cartier’s Tank à Guichets, it tells the time not via a traditional dial, but via dual apertures in its black PVD sapphire face that display instantaneously jumping hours and trailing minutes. Housed in a rectangular platinum case with horizontal gadroons, it features the brand’s first automatic jump hour movement.
