Millenary Pianoforte for men

The Millenary takes to the keyboard

The Watch Quote™ - February 21st, 2008

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
