We consider the point indentation of a pressurized, spherical elastic shell. Previously it was shown that such shells wrinkle once the indentation reaches a threshold value. Here, we study the behaviour of this system beyond the onset of instability. We show that rather than simply approaching the classical “mirror-buckled” shape, the wrinkled shell approaches a new, universal shape that reflects a nontrivial type of isometry. For a given indentation depth, this “asymptotic isometry”, which is only made possible by wrinkling, is reached in the doubly asymptotic limit of weak pressure and vanishing shell thickness.
