Audemars Piguet 25822 Millenary Chronograph 18K Rose Gold Silver Dial

The Audemars Piguet Millenary Chronograph reference 25822OR/O/3002/01, introduced circa 1999, is a compelling expression of the Millenary collection’s architectural elegance and mechanical refinement. Housed in an 18K rose gold oval case measuring 41mm in diameter and approximately 43mm lug‑to‑lug, with a slender 11mm thickness, the design balances presence with wearability. The silver dial, adorned with painted Roman numerals and recessed chronograph sub‑registers alongside a discreet date display, underscores the Maison’s commitment to clarity and classical aesthetics. Powered by a self‑winding automatic chronograph movement, this reference exemplifies AP’s fusion of technical sophistication and everyday practicality. Though not a limited edition, its production run was relatively brief, making it a rare sight in the secondary market and a subtle grail for collectors of modern AP chronographs. The Millenary line itself carries a storied lineage, debuting in 1995 as a showcase of off‑centered dials and elliptical cases—this model continues that heritage with a refined chronograph execution. Collectors prize this reference for its unique case geometry, the prestige of its movement, and its position as a transitional piece bridging late 1990s design with early 2000s horological sensibilities. With its harmonious proportions, elegant dial, and rose gold construction, the 25822OR/O/3002/01 remains a distinguished and under‑appreciated gem within Audemars Piguet’s modern chronograph offerings. Excellent condition.
