Elliptical Innovation: The Audemars Piguet Millenary Collection

The Millenary collection represents Audemars Piguet at its most unconventional — blending high horology with avant-garde design. Introduced in 1995 and inspired by 19th-century pocket watches, the Millenary challenges traditional case shapes with its elliptical form and off-centered dials. Each reference is a showcase of openworked architecture and mechanical mastery, often housing in-house calibers with impressive finishing and technical detail. For collectors and aesthetes alike, the Millenary offers a distinct perspective on time.

Audemars Piguet Millenary: Where Architecture Meets Horology

The Audemars Piguet Millenary collection is a standout in the brand's portfolio — not for its adherence to classic forms, but for its bold departure from them. First launched in 1995, the Millenary's elliptical case design and off-centered dial architecture offer a three-dimensional look at time, combining aesthetic asymmetry with mechanical harmony.

Mechanical Artistry in an Elliptical Case

What distinguishes the Millenary is its visible mechanics. Many models feature openworked designs or partially skeletonized movements, allowing a full view of the hand-finishing, balance wheel, and escapement. From the Millenary Maserati 90th Anniversary — a platinum edition with blue accents and a commemorative dial — to the Millenary with a brown hammered pattern dial , each watch showcases AP's fusion of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary vision.

Materials and Models in the Collection

Pre-owned Millenary watches are available in a variety of precious metals including rose gold, platinum, and white gold. Signature features include off-centered time displays, mother-of-pearl or guilloché dials, hand-wound or automatic movements, and diamond embellishments on select references. The oval case — usually measuring 39.5mm to 45mm — sits comfortably on the wrist while offering maximum visual intrigue.
