I've seen a bunch over the last few years, all at various auctions.
The Millenary was my favourite as it is the most contemporary of the AP Starwheels.
Audemars Piguet Millenary Starwheel: When Audemars Piguet plays the card of Independents.
THAT Starwheel could have been the creation of an Independent! I don' know the story behind the Starwheel, but the outcome is pure madness. I had the pleasure to see it live during my last trip in Hong Kong, due to the kindness of its owner, our dear Semp...
I had the pleasure to see a few different AP starwheels last year .
Like you said maybe this Millenary is one of my fav from the brand .
Ver poetic
This one is clearly a top production from Audemars. The first engraved iteration in gold was a bit baroque but the millenary case and the plain blue dial + steel transformed it! The stars from the movement match the stars on the dial - a rare design touch...
Look at this starwheel....or the floating hour complication
Guess who was at the helm of AP designs then, and who is the founder of the upstart independent brand? ...
That is a great idea, Nicolas. I hope AP is reading it!
The watch would be even more at home in the CODE case.

I always liked the Starwheel...
it would be something if AP decides to reboot it inside the code 11.59 case. At least it would be more interesting for me than the existing dials 😉
“Underrated” at best...
...but you sure have an eye for the exceptional things my Friend! What an unforgettable two days in HKG we had... and then Paris 😉 You can borrow it anytime your in Singapore! All the best - Semper Fidelis
