Oval-shaped timepieces aren’t very common, which makes Audemar Piguet’s Millenary Quadriennium calendar watch that more impressive.
It comes with a 47 mm rose gold case and a manual-wind manufacture AP caliber 2905/B1. Like with other members of its collection, you can see the watch’s intricate, hand-finished inner mechanisms through the dial, something which doesn’t in the slightest take away from its ability to inspire a sense of wonder.
Audemars Piguet has equipped this watch with a so-called quadriennial calendar, which is somewhere in the middle between a perpetual calendar (which automatically adjusts for leap years, with that extra day in February) and an annual calendar (which has to be adjusted to go from February 28/29 to March 1). This particular calendar only needs to be adjusted at the end of February every four years.
The Millenary Quadriennium timepiece will be available in Audemars Piguet boutiques worldwide starting in 2015.
