CHF 6 million, with the series ending at 5, maybe AP will revisit and finish the series 😊, One can Hope.

I know a place that has this Ti version for sale...
Let's see if I can go and listen to it.
I'm not sure what you mean by
"no 'grand complications' watches - sould of been nine" 🤔 My personal favorites are 1 & 3. Best, Emmanuel
Memories!
the movement on that Edward is quite something heavy involvement by Renaud & Papi if I remember correctly
The Millenary is awesome!
I like the Edward Piguet too. I don't recall seeing it before. To my eye, the lugs look too narrow on the Jules Audemars pieces. Thanks for posting. M4
As you like the Millenary,
you might also enjoy its kind of "successor": the Millenary Carbon One, ref. 26152AU.OO.D002CR.01 https://www.gphg.org/fr/watches/tourbillon-chronographe-millenary-carbon-one Best, Emmanuel credit: motions in time ...
Yes, I remember this one.
I never liked the pairing with a croc strap but otherwise thought it was cool.
Bravo Emmanuel 👍 another amazing post 😊
I knew finding a picture of the Cabinet would not be easy 😋 Thank You 🙏
Thank you, Salman and
huge congratulations on your 10k post! Always such a pleasure to interact with you. Best, Emmanuel
I wonder what were the remaining three.
The movements in these looks stunning..., but they are (cases) all quite large.
"Quite large" is an understatement: they're almost gigantic!
I think the remaining three were never made. The project seems to have been left aside after 2006. Best, Emmanuel
Tradition d'Excellence Collection at the Audemars Piguet Museum
All these Pictures were taken on the Purists visit to Audemars Piguet in September? 2006 Emmanuel, I found the Cabinet 😊 ...
Sensational! Thank you so much, Salman!
I was far from imagining such a huge and wonderful cabinet! I hope I'll be able to visit someday. Thank you so much. Best, Emmanuel

I find it remarkable that the dedicated showcases for pieces no. 6, 7 & 8 exist !
Hopefully, AP will fill these 3 display stands someday!
I have a Theory
Just Speculation on my part, the series started in 1999, a different time, 5 series made out of 8, 20 pieces each, how many at that time would have committed to buying the full 8 pieces? One or Two collectors maybe Three at the most. My Theory is they mad...
Interesting theory, Salman!
You might very well be right. But wouldn't AP be proud of showing these pieces in their museum along with the others?
