Audemars Piguet – Millenary Précieuse collection
In offering countless variations on the oval theme, the Millenary collection celebrates time for oneself and renders homage to the small joys that embellish our daily life. A child stretching out a tiny hand,
a dreamy moment spent gazing at the stars, loving words murmured in your ear… The new releases in the Millenary Précieuse line, composed of splendid jewellery watches and jewellery, add their own inimitable sparkle to these precious moments.

Tender is the night
Inaugurated in 2007 with an Haute Joaillerie collection, the Millenary Précieuse line is now enriched with a range of timepieces for evening wear. The oval Millenary case is still there, but surrounded in these models by gem-set rings that are extended by a silky satin strap.
Two types of gem-setting are available in order to shine when the clock strikes midnight. The first is a study in understated purity. Crafted in white gold and worn on a black satin strap or in pink gold on beige-coloured satin, these highly elegant jewellery watches radiate inimitable touches of Art Deco charm. Faithful to the Millenary identity codes, their dial alternates between Arabic and Roman numerals. The second is more provocative: its diamond bubbles catch the gaze, sparkling on the mother-of-pearl dial with its offset disc, and spill over onto the wristband rings. The exquisite femininity of these creations is enhanced by satin straps moulding the wrist and complemented by an oval gem-set buckle.

Beneath their precious exterior, these beauties beat to the rhythm of a superbly made mechanical hand-wound movement – because women love to keep in active touch with time and to accentuate the beauty of the passing hours. (Audemars Piguet press)
