Catalogue Note

With an Audemars Piguet certificate, instruction manual and presentation box.

Audemars Piguet introduced the Millenary Carbon One Tourbillon Chronograph to enrich the Millenary collection. This model is regarded by many avid fashion aficionados and watch connoisseurs as one of the most iconic timepieces by the brand in the past few years.

The case is made of forged carbon, an ultra-light material developed by AP. The characteristic of this particular material makes the process of molding it into the oval Millenary case a great challenge. The bezel, crown and pushers are in black ceramic in order to match with the black and shiny texture of forged carbon. The use of high-tech materials and manufacturing techniques result in a very light case weighing just 69.44 grams. The skeletonized dial reveals caliber 2884, a completely proprietary movement equipped with a tourbillon, a chronograph, and a 10-day power reserve achieved by twin barrels. Only available in a limited edition of 120 pieces, the design of AP Millenary Carbon One Tourbillion Chronograph is undoubtedly a technical marvel.
