Le Temps Ovale Millenary Collection - Audemars Piguet

March 31st, 2006

For men: Resolutely asserting the neoclassical style of the collection, the Millenary line for men features an oval case endowed with polished curves that contrast with its straight, satin-brushed sides. And despite its generous (45 mm) size and oversized crown, its ergonomic design ensures absolute wearer comfort.
Available in pink or white gold, the case is enhanced by a crocodile leather strap in a shade that matches the dial. The latter is immediately recognisable, since the gold luminescent hands sweep over an hour zone forming an offset circle within the minute zone. The former is adorned with applied gold Roman numerals, while the second displays Arabic numerals, in a variety of colours according to the versions.
Finally, the sapphire case-back of the Millenary for men reveals the subtle intricacies of selfwinding
Calibre 3120, an exclusive movement developed by Audemars Piguet and blending reliability and excellent rating precision.

For women: Within the Millenary line designed for women, the sensuality of the oval is sublimated by delicately curving soft lines and generous, distinctive proportions. The case is topped with a slightly raised bezel adorned with diamonds that light up the dial. In the steel version, the latter combines a light silvered colour with a delightfully fresh shade of pastel.
When the case comes in white, pink or yellow gold versions, this crown of diamonds underscores the subtle charm of a white natural mother-of-pearl dial; while in the jewellery variation, the gold of the case, bezel and lugs is set with brilliants standing out against a black or chocolate brown dial with diamond-pavé hour zone.
As in the men’s Millenary line, this ladies’ collection is graced with a dial playing on the theme of circles and ovals: arranged around a central disc, the hour and minute zones are both off-centred, with the former displaying Arabic numerals and the latter Roman numerals. The astonishingly modern appeal of this design is highlighted by figures that change size as the hours go by, just like the colours of time itself.
