In 2006, Audemars Piguet successfully launched the Millenary range. The brand is now enriching the ladies’ collection with two inseparable white and black models featuring a blend of contemporary spirit and vintage charm. These new steel basics are designed for day and evening wear, admirably complementing both casual and elegant styles. They accompany good-humoured moments and enhance a contemplative mood, exquisitely surrounding personal time as if to shelter precious regained intimacy.
In these new interpretations, the signature oval case of the Millenary collection highlights the contrast between alternating polished and satin-brushed stainless steel surfaces, like a black- and-white photo with its subtle interplay of light and shade. The bezel set with brilliant-cut diamonds imparts its own distinctive radiance.
In this fascinating pairing, the dials feature two distinct zones: a light silvery or snailed black offset disc displaying Arabic numerals; and a light silvery or black half-moon with Roman numerals, adorned with a flinqué motif. This astonishingly modern design is a reminder that time is above all a question of emotions and that it speeds up or extends according to our own personal perception. Within this harmonious couple, time thus composes a musical score of black and white notes, interpreting a lively tune that always strikes exactly the right chord, while the selfwinding movement driving the Millenary Black & White watches maintains the perfect tempo.
