Audemars Piguet’s [RE]Master 02 Selfwinding is a captivating homage to a bygone era. Inspired by the unconventional Model 5159BA from 1960, this limited-edition timepiece boasts a striking asymmetrical case and dial in a mesmerising shade called Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50.
Composed of 12 meticulously crafted triangles, the dial is indeed a masterpiece in itself. Utilising a Physical Vapour Deposition technique to achieve the stunning colour in a linear satin finish, it forms a captivating interplay of light and texture unique to this model.

But the most impressive feature of the [RE]Master 02 is definitely its asymmetric case. The sapphire crystal boasts a unique 15.8-degree bevel that adds undeniable visual intrigue. The design of this bevelled edge wasn’t simply an aesthetic choice. It represents two years of dedicated research and development by Audemars Piguet’s skilled engineers.
Completing the timepiece is a luxurious alligator leather strap with an elegant matte finish. Its contrasting shade of blue creates a sense of visual harmony while further enhancing the depth of the dial. The accompanying 18K sand gold pin buckle rounds this up as the ultimate tribute to the heritage Model 5159B timepiece.
