Audemars Piguet Millenary watches

The Audemars Piguet Millenary watch is a visually exotic high luxury timepiece. within a striking oval form which recalls the architecture of the Roman Coliseum, the Millenary watch showcases opulent details of hand craftsmanship as well as a distinguished Manufacture selfwinding movement. The various Audemars Piguet Millenary timepieces are crafted from 18K white gold or 18K pink gold; the oval Millenary case is remarkable for its complex design, which finely blends brushed and polished elements, presenting a unique expression which is classical yet innovative.

Audemars Piguet has introduced a range of beautiful, intricate dials which ideally complement this exciting watch design. Produced in several appealing and highly expressive color schemes, these dials display a unique character, with a centralized, obliquely shaped "exploded" hour circle, with Roman numerals which grow increasingly large towards the three o'clock side; conversely, the outer minute track also displays this visual effect, this time using Arabic numerals, which appear their largest on the nine o'clock side of the dial. Viewed as a whole, the Audemars Piguet Millenary watch presents a refreshing aesthetic which re-interprets decidedly classical elements (Roman numerals, circles) with a contemporary, avant-garde twist.

The Audemars Piguet Millenary watches are animated by Audemars Piguet exclusively in-house automatic movement, the 3120 caliber. Equipped with an instant-change date display, and a generous power-reserve of approximately 60 hours, this fine caliber has received great praise from watchmakers due to its fine horological details. Boasting nearly 300 individual pieces, the 3120 caliber demonstrates outstanding attention to the details of traditional haute horlogerie, including perlage on the plate, Cotes de Geneve on the topsides of the bridges, and polished screw and jewel settings. The massive bi-directional 22K gold winding rotor is richly decorated with the intricate family crests of the Audemars and Piguet families.

In addition to its fine decorative details, the 3120 caliber also offers outstanding performance, thanks to such elements as a free-sprung Gyromax balance wheel, and a highly stable balance bridge arrangement; these features also contribute to the ease of serviceability and adjustment for this promising, exclusive selfwinding movement. The Audemars Piguet Millenary watches are completed by fine, remborded crocodile straps, which depending upon the model, bear contrasting stitching that matches the color scheme on the dial. Each strap is joined to the wrist by the elegant double-bladed Audemars Piguet folding clasp, which is crafted from 18K gold.
