Today I bring you another Audemars Piguet watch called Audemars Piguet Millernary Quincy Jones limited edition. I am sure you will be attracted by the personalized off-centered dial in oval shape. Have a close look at the dial, you will find the white hour and minute hands are almost lost among the oversized Roman numerals. What’s more, the hands as well as the numerals do seem to bear any luminescent substance on them. The most interesting thing is the date window. It lies in the III Roman numeral, breaking the III into two parts.

The watch looks great in terms of the chosen monochromatic color scheme. It reminds of the chocolate. It is not the same as the chocolate color. However, it is the black that we usually see on a watch. I really like it. And the white color used in the numerals and hands make a match with the special chocolate color (Let me just call it the special chocolate before I know what the color is called).

The watch comes with a PVD-coated stainless steel case, inside which is the AP 3120 automatic base caliber. Introduced about 5 years ago by Audemars Piguet and sporting a wonderfully decorated rotor made of 22 carat gold, the movement is a marvel of the industrial design.

Audemars Piguet has released a new watch. As a watch lover I just can’t wait to review the watch that Audemars Piguet offers to us in 2010.The new Audemars Piguet Millenary Chronograph watch shown in the picture has a vey eye-catching dial which has extravagant combination of Roman numerals for the main dial and Arabic numerals for the tachymetric scale.

The original Millenary chronograph was available in a combination of chocolate brown tachymetric scale, black chronograph section with silvered totalizers and then again brown inner dial segment. These were contrasted with blue and rose gold-colored numerals.

The new iteration of the watch has the main color scheme changed for anthracite black, silver and then again black for the outer, middle and inner parts of the case. While the Latin numerals of the main dial remain rose gold (that slightly decreases contrast, but I could live with that) but the Arabic numerals are (finally!) painted white. The chronograph central second hand is now also painted in a standard bright-red color.

Together with a matt-brown crocodile strap, the watch looks well-balanced and even elegant, while maintaining its sporty character, as it should have been from the very beginning.
