It leads us into a long night, alternating between languorous tunes or spirited rhythms, and allows us to caress the dream of an artist’s life.
A pulsating design
- 18-carat white gold case, satin-brushed and polished or set with diamonds
- White mother-of-pearl dial
- Off-centred hour zone, rimmed by a light decorative fillet and featuring
- Roman numerals or a sparkling pavé motif
- Black piano keys, enhanced with thin lines etched into the mother-of-pearl of the dial
The perfect chord: Calibre 3120
The Audemars Piguet selfwinding movement imparts a special cadence to the Millenary Pianoforte watch:
- the direct-drive central seconds avoids friction
- the cross-through balance bridge ensures enhanced reliability
- an over 60-hour power reserve guarantees running accuracy
- a balance-stop device keeps the seconds hand motionless during the time-setting process
- the adjustment remains stable thanks to a variable-inertia balance equipped with eight inertia-blocks, an arrangement that is also conducive to accuracy
- the calendar makes an instant jump
- the date can be adjusted rapidly
- the bidirectional automatic winding is ensured by a 22-carat gold rotor mounted on a ceramic ball-bearing mechanism
