About 45mm Audemars Piguet Millenary Watches
The Audemars Piguet Millenary was introduced to showcase the maison's most avant-garde design language, defined by its distinctive oval case, off-center dial architecture, and exhibition of movement components typically hidden from view. At 45mm the case commands the wrist while providing the canvas needed to display elaborate gem-setting work, including full baguette diamond pavé on bezels, dials, and lugs, alongside horological complications such as the flying tourbillon. References in this collection carry precious metal cases in 18-karat rose gold and 18-karat white gold, and several were created as limited or special editions, including the QE II Cup 2013 reference 15336BC, commemorating Audemars Piguet's long-running sponsorship of the Hong Kong polo event. Across the line, the oval case, skeletonized or richly decorated dial, and hand-finished movement parts remain the defining signatures of the Millenary at this size.
What to Look For
Buyers should pay close attention to case material and dial configuration, as the difference between a rose gold onyx dial reference such as 26354OR.ZZ.D002CR.01 and a white gold blue aventurine tourbillon such as 26381BC.ZZ.D312CR.02 represents a significant divergence in both aesthetics and collector value. The presence of a tourbillon complication, baguette diamond pavé coverage, and limited-edition status are the principal factors that elevate specific references within this 45mm group, so confirming these details against the full reference number is essential before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these 45mm Audemars Piguet Millenary watches new or pre-owned?
Every 45mm Audemars Piguet Millenary listed in this collection is brand new, unworn, and accompanied by its original documentation. Bizak and Co. authenticates each piece before listing, so buyers receive a factory-fresh watch with full traceability.
What is the difference between the Millenary Onyx and the Millenary Tourbillon references in this 45mm collection?
The Millenary Onyx references, such as 26381OR.ZZ.D102CR.01 and 26354OR.ZZ.D002CR.01, feature dramatic black onyx dials with baguette diamond setting and, in one case, a skeletonized movement, but do not carry a tourbillon complication. The Millenary Tourbillon references add a hand-wound flying tourbillon visible on the dial side, which represents a higher level of mechanical complexity and generally commands a premium in the market.
