Audemars Piguet Millenary 4101 AutomaticThe new Audemars Piguet Millenary 4101 automatic watch was officially presented a couple of weeks ago at the SIHH 2011 and immediately became a new icon of the Swiss brand.Just like it was done with the recently presented Piaget Emperador Coussin Tourbillon Ultra-Thin and the gorgeous De Bethune DB28 in titanium, the new Audemars Piguet Millenary 4101 takes the idea of a skeletonized watch and, literally, turns it inside out.The main idea behind the whole concept of skeletonization is to show off the inner workings of a mechanical movement.The result is a beautifully crafted (in most cases, but not always) display, which is a real pleasure to admire, but (again, in most cases, but not always) a real pain to look at when all you need is to find out what time it is now.Millenary’s signature off-centered main dial that takes less than half of the real estate of the huge 47 x 42 mm oval-shaped case, was the best candidate to make a skeleton watch, which is both beautiful and, at the same time, absolutely legible.As you can see on the pictures, AP’s engineers reworked the automatic movement in such a way, that its regulating organ that comprises the balance, lever and escapement is moved to the periphery of the caliber and, judging by the looks of it, is positioned right in the F1 focus of the oval.It is anchored to the movement with a massive-looking bridge, which (like the rest of the 12 visible bridges) is decorated with horizontal Cotes de Geneva stripes.The main hours and minutes display is done in two solid metal parts and, decorated with applied Roman numerals, is perfectly legible, although the leaf-shaped hands would look even better if they were not skeletonized, but simply covered with some Superluminova.As usual, the result is a finely crafted, well-balanced and, let me admit that, highly desirable watch that can prove a huge success, if Audemars Piguet will manage to find the point of intersection of the supply and demand curves.

Audemars Piguet is a known watch maker and is considered to be one of the most daring when it comes to their designs. They are using this audacity not only for design purposes but also to boast their movement's complexity like the one in this Jules Audemars Watch by Audemars Piguet.This Jules Audemars with AP Escapement is created by using a rare material to create the case and bezel of this watch. This timepiece is made of a platinum material which we all know is more luxurious than gold. Audemars Piguet has included on this a blue shaded alligator leather strap which matches the elegance of the case.This watch is also presented in a multi level dial which reveals some of the movement's cogs. The time on this watch is presented in a sub dial found on the 12 o'clock while the small seconds is at 6 o'clock. Aside from these, it also has a sub dial for the power reserve indicator found on 8 o'clock.This timepiece from Audemars Piguet is definitely a luxurious watch that you would like to have in your collection but this will surely include an expensive tag which will make it hard to acquire.
