break new ground and introduce watches which retain classicism, yet present something distinctive and unique. By using an oval case shape that was inspired by the architecture of the Roman Coliseum, Audemars Piguet has made a subtle and fresh departure from the almost univeral round form so prevalent in wristwatches. Demonstrating the love for detail that has long defined the House of Audemars Piguet as a producer of haute horlogerie, the complex casework of the Millenary watch collection is executed flawlessly; brushed and polished surfaces converge seamlessly and offer a visual and tactile delight. The new Millenary Automatic watch is offered in many sumptuous variations in 18K rose, white, or yellow gold, with complex dials that are almost Baroque in their intricacy and complex finishes.
