KIH provides a detailed first look at the Audemars Piguet Millenary Quadriennium, capturing its unique design and technical features fresh from the boutique. This post offers an intimate photographic exploration of the watch's enamel dial, open-worked movement, and on-wrist presence, giving readers a comprehensive understanding of this distinctive reference.

Here you go!

Cool looking enamel dial as seen at SIHH.

Up close. See the gold trim of the dial as well as the thickness.

Although depending on where the light comes, month and day window may be too "deep".

I admit that the dial is very beautifully done.

The view of the balance wheel and its bridge is also well placed.

Beautiful....

The back side is very "clean" with very big bridge.

On the wrist. Looks cool, but 47mm x 42mm may be a bit too large for my wrist.

A little bit too thick?

Month and day may be okay under outside light.

A bit thick, but still can be hidden under my sleeve.

Hot enamel dial is really well done.

Exhilarating design, cutting edge technology, and perfect finishing. It's not too big for my wrist... but for my wallet, yes :-( Great photo report, Ken.

Appealing and acceptable if it's 2/3 as thick and 20 percent reduced in size.
