The styling and proportions of this highly impressive titanium Millenary minute repeater make for a watch that is almost three-dimensional, as good looking as it is technically accomplished. Semi-openworked, the visible balance, escapement, repeating hammers and gongs form a mesmerising theatre of movement for the wearer. The distinctive oval-shaped Millenary case is substantial yet lightweight and very easy and comfortable to wear. The off-centre dial is beautifully executed in grey with raised Roman numerals.
Entirely conceived, developed and produced in-house, the calibre 2910 hand-wound movement features AP’s Direct-Impulse Escapement with double balance spring, twin spring barrels provide a substantial 7-day power reserve.
Interestingly, Audemars Piguet developed barrels manufactured from a combination of unique alloys including white gold and palladium to reduce any loss of energy caused by friction. A balance-stop system allows the watch to be set precisely to the nearest second. In this Millenary minute repeater, a third barrel is devoted solely to the repeating mechanism. Once activated by the sliding lever on the side of the case, the minute repeater offers a clear and melodious sound, regarded as one of the most beautiful and finely tuned of AP’s legendary minute repeaters. The movement is decorated with 'Côtes de Genève' which can be fully admired through the display case back.
This aesthetically and technically superb timepiece is without doubt one of the classic masterpieces of Audemars Piguet and a rare prize for the collector.
