MILLENARY STAR WHEEL MODEL, REF. 25898OR, CASE NO. E26909, CIRCA 2000

The present timepiece was launched in 2000 to commemorate Audemars Piguet's 125th anniversary. Limited to just 75 pieces, this watch showcases the remarkable wandering hours complication, a system originally inspired by 17th-century clockmaking. The oval-shaped pink gold case, a signature of the Millenary collection, houses a slate grey dial with rotating hour discs that elegantly indicate the time in a poetic and unconventional manner. On the right side of the dial is a linear track dedicated to the display of the minutes.

The design of the watch pays homage to Audemars Piguet’s commitment to technical mastery and artistic expression. The Star Wheel complication, first introduced by the brand in 1991, adds an element of dynamic storytelling to the timepiece, making it not only a collector’s item but also a testament to horological ingenuity.
