Audemars Piguet Millenary Millennium Women’s Jewelry Watch – Full Review
The Audemars Piguet Millenary Millennium Women’s Jewelry Watch is an exquisite haute joaillerie timepiece, unveiled at SIHH 2016. Its bold geometric design, combined with an elaborate gemstone setting, makes it one of the most visually striking ladies’ watches from Audemars Piguet.
Design – Oval Case with Zebra Dial
The watch features an oval white-gold case fully paved with brilliant-cut diamonds. Its semi-open dial showcases a striking “zebra” motif, crafted with alternating stripes of onyx and diamonds. The main hour and minute dial is positioned at 3 o’clock, an independent seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock, and the exposed balance wheel at 9 o’clock. Polished gold hands stand out sharply against the black-and-white dial, emphasizing both elegance and legibility.
Movement – Caliber 5205 Manual-Winding
The sapphire crystal caseback reveals the in-house Caliber 5205, a manual-winding movement with geometric engravings echoing the zebra dial motif. Operating at 21,600 vph, it provides a 49-hour power reserve. The movement is meticulously finished, highlighting Audemars Piguet’s attention to detail in both aesthetic and mechanical quality.
Gemstone Setting & Strap
This Millenary model is set with a total of 578 diamonds. The black onyx stripes on the dial demand precise cutting, polishing, and setting to ensure perfect alignment. Even the crown is adorned with convex black onyx. Complementing the dramatic dial and gem setting, the watch comes with a black alligator leather strap that enhances its luxurious yet bold appearance.
Case & Wearing Experience
The oval white-gold case measures 33 mm in diameter and 29 mm in thickness, offering a balanced wrist presence. Its combination of diamonds, onyx, and gold creates a statement piece ideal for collectors seeking both technical excellence and artistic design. The watch is water-resistant to 20 meters and fastens securely with a white-gold buckle.
