AP Millenary Carbon One Tourbillon Chronograph

AP Millenary Carbon One

Audemars Piguet’s new Millenary Carbon One is a technical wonder. The case is forged carbon, an ultra-light material developed by AP. The middle section of the case is created by placing a set of threaded carbon filaments inside a mold. The wire, measuring one millimeter in diameter, is itself composed of several thousand 7-micron carbon fibers held together by a resin wire. Placed end to end, these filaments are equivalent to 22.7 meters of carbon wire and 102.2 km of carbon fibers.

ap_jules_audemars_chronograph_150

The first automatic winding chronograph in the Jules Audemars collection wears 1920s inspiration on the outside, but it is thoroughly up to date on the inside. The numerals on the dial and the pear hands give the watch a strong, classic look. Under the dial ticks the new caliber 3124/3841, based on a new generation of Audemars Piguet manufacture movements. The 41mm case is available in 18k white or pink gold.
