The only one that jumps to mind right now is the line from Power Klingon:

cha'vatlh ben HIq vItlhutlh
I will drink two century old ale

You'll need to pick an exact date though:

when referring to time. Though Klingons are sometimes inaccurate, they are
*never* approximate." - PK :D

vaghnetlh ben bIH DISmey'e'
The caves are fifty thousand years old
