Audemars Piguet Millenary MC12 Tourbillon Platinum 10-Day Power Reserve Limited Edition of 150 Pieces – Reference 26069PT.OO.D028CR.01 The Audemars Piguet Millenary MC12 Tourbillon is an exceptional expression of haute horlogerie, created as a limited edition of just 150 pieces in collaboration with Maserati and inspired by the legendary MC12 supercar. Crafted entirely in platinum, this timepiece embodies technical sophistication, avant-garde design, and true exclusivity. The distinctive Millenary case features an elegant oval profile, measuring approximately 47mm x 42mm, and is executed in solid platinum, giving the watch substantial presence while maintaining refined ergonomics on the wrist. The case is fitted with sapphire crystals on both the front and back, allowing unobstructed views of the extraordinary movement architecture. The openworked dial is a centerpiece of this watch, revealing the intricate mechanics beneath. Blue anodized titanium bridges, inspired by automotive engineering, contrast beautifully against the rhodium-finished movement components. At the heart of the dial sits the flying tourbillon, proudly displayed to emphasize Audemars Piguet’s mastery of precision regulation. A prominent 10 day power reserve indicator arcs along the upper portion of the dial, while a chronograph register is seamlessly integrated, adding both functionality and visual balance. Blue and white accents throughout the dial echo the Maserati MC12 design language, reinforcing the motorsport connection. Powering this remarkable watch is the Audemars Piguet Caliber 2884, a manually wound, in-house movement combining a tourbillon, chronograph, and extended power reserve. The movement is composed of hundreds of meticulously finished components, operating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and delivering an impressive 10 day power reserve. Hand finishing includes bevelled edges, polished steel components, and satin-brushed surfaces, all visible through the sapphire caseback. The reverse side of the watch further highlights its exclusivity, showcasing the beautifully finished movement and engraved details denoting its limited-edition status. The watch is paired with a high quality leather strap with contrasting stitching and secured by a platinum Audemars Piguet deployant clasp, completing the cohesive and luxurious presentation. The Audemars Piguet Millenary MC12 Tourbillon stands today as one of the brand’s most technically ambitious and visually striking creations. It is a rare collector’s piece that seamlessly blends cutting-edge watchmaking, automotive inspiration, and uncompromising craftsmanship, an unmistakable statement for the serious connoisseur of high complications.
