Distinguished by its extreme reliability, this sophisticated mechanism is the object of constant improvements. Its cross-through balance bridge ensures enhanced shock resistance while a direct-drive seconds hand avoids any jerking. The adjustment remains stable thanks to a variable-inertia balance fitted with eight inertia-blocks, which also ensures significant long-term constancy of rate. Calibre 3120 is particularly user-friendly thanks to its instant-jump, fast-adjusting date display, as well as its 60-hour power reserve. Accurate time- setting is facilitated by the fact that pulling out the crown instantly activates the stop seconds lever which \u2013 as its name implies \u2013 brings the seconds hand to an immediate halt. Nonetheless, the crowning glory of Calibre 3120 is the care devoted to its craftsmanship. Hand-assembled in the Le Brassus workshops, it boasts exceptional quality of execution and exquisite finishing. The bridges are meticulously chamfered and polished so as to show only clean-cut, shining edges. The jewel sinks are diamond-polished, while the wheels feature chamfered arms and diamond-polished sinks. Even the rim and slots of the screws are chamfered. Both sides of the mainplate are circular-grained and the bridges are adorned with C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve.

DESCRIPTION
- Quincy Jones is a modern-day legend who has made an indelible imprint on the history of music and continues to mould its present while shaping its future. Reinterpreting the oval
In tribute to this exceptional artist, Audemars Piguet reinvents the identity codes of its contemporary Millenary line. The famous oval case, the distinctive feature of this collection, appears clothed in blackened steel. Matt zones, such as on the case middle, alternate with brilliant-polished finishing lending an inimitable shimmer to the bezel and the upper surfaces of the lugs. The ultra-complex construction of this case is highlighted by a combination of vertical and horizontal satin-brushed finishes. The polished case-back carries Quincy Jones’ signature as well as the inscription “Millenary Quincy Jones – Limited Edition”, serving as a reminder that only 500 of these prestigious timepieces are to be produced. The watch is teamed with a black leather strap fitted with an AP folding clasp – naturally also in blackened steel.The dial features the off-centred hour zone that connoisseurs will recognise as one of the distinctive characteristics of the Millenary, surrounded on this model by a light fillet motif. Against a shiny black background, white gold Roman numerals in steadily larger sizes fill the dial, much like music fills the night hours in a New York jazz club.
