Limited to 8 pieces only, the Audemars Piguet Millenary Minute Repeater ref. 26371TI is a sight to behold. A harmonious cultivation of technical expertise, aesthetics and innovative materials, the model features an ultra-light titanium oval-shaped case, a signature for the Millenary.

Powered by the firm’s revered cal. 2910, the manual-winding movement with a minute repeater complication and its own in-house escapement with double balance springs is perhaps the testament of their technical prowess. Requiring no lubrication with direct impulse escapement offering incredible efficiency by sequencing the linear energy transmitted by the barrels, it enhances accurate timekeeping and robustness. Equipped with twin barrels, the movement has an impressive power reserve of up to 7 days. Furthermore, an extra barrel is in place solely for the minute repeating mechanism ensuring an equal amount of power each time the slider is activated. Featuring a balance-stop system, the smart feature was designed and implemented to ensure that the striking mechanism and time-setting via the crown would not be activated at the same time.

Offered in “like new” overall condition, the present example numbered 8 is offered with its full set of accessories. A truly exquisite timepiece, thanks to the ultra-light titanium case, not only does it provide the wearer with extreme comfort on the wrist, it also generates a unique chime differing from minute repeating timepieces cased in gold.
