Appreciation of the Exposed Movement of the Audemars Piguet Millenary 4101 Watch

　　Le Brassus, SwitzerlandAudemars PiguetIn 2011, the manufacture completed another great feat. Equipped with the new Audemars Piguet in-house Cal.4101 automatic mechanical movement, the Millenary 4101 watch brings the exquisite mechanical mechanism to the surface, allowing the delicate movement to stand out on the wrist. Next, let us take you on a tour to admire this bold masterpiece of an Audemars Piguet watch with its exposed movement.

　　Key features of the exposed movement of the Audemars Piguet Millenary 4101 watch

　　Designed, developed and manufactured entirely in-house by the Audemars Piguet manufacture, the Cal.4101 movement adopts an inverted structure that reveals the mechanical components usually hidden deep inside the case. To achieve this, the regulating elements such as the balance wheel, pallet lever and escapement have been redesigned, drawing the eye to the 9 o'clock position on the dial: the variable-inertia balance wheel with eight small weights displays a magnificent golden style, while the horizontal double balance bridge showcases its unique posture. Discerning connoisseurs can even catch a glimpse of the tiny, precise pallet lever and escape wheel. 12 bridges form a graceful composition on the surface of the movement. Audemars Piguet has brilliantly transformed these functional bridges, used to secure various components, into decorative design elements.

　　The core components of the movement feature a variable-inertia balance wheel oscillating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (equivalent to 4 Hz), with eight white-gold small weights ensuring that the regulation of the movement remains stable over time, and equipped with a Breguet balance spring. The higher frequency and inertia of the variable-inertia balance wheel make the timekeeping more precise while remaining less susceptible to external interference. Meanwhile, the horizontal double balance bridge is secured on both sides of the mainplate rather than just one, providing superior shock resistance. Cal.4101 movement components are hand-assembled and hand-finished at the Audemars Piguet manufacture in Le Brassus, ensuring exceptional quality throughout the manufacturing and fine-finishing processes.

　　The Audemars Piguet Millenary 4101 watch is available in two versions: a stainless steel case version featuring a movement treated with a dark grey galvanic coating, striking a balance between avant-garde and understated style; and a rose-gold case version equipped with rhodium-plated and gold-plated movements, which is bold yet prestigious. All technical components essential to the structure and function of the movement play a pivotal role in the overall aesthetic design of this watch, blending seamlessly with the classic features of the Millenary collection, such as the oval case, off-centred dial, Roman numeral hour markers, satin-brushed middle case and polished bezel.

　　Following epoch-making masterpieces such as the Tradition of Excellence number five watch, the Millenary deadbeat seconds watch, and the Millenary MC12 watch, the Millenary 4101 watch sets a new milestone in the bold exploration of the Millenary collection.
