The Watch: The Audemars Piguet Millenary Ref. 15016ST offers a more unconventional and utilitarian expression of the brand’s haute horlogerie know-how. Introduced in the late 1990s, the Millenary collection distinguished itself with an elliptical case shape and dial layout, somewhat similar to a Tank Divan.
This 15016ST from 2001 features a 38.5mm stainless steel case, a clean black dial with luminous Arabic military numerals, and leaf-shaped hands. The elliptical form sits comfortably on the wrist and offers a distinctive alternative to more traditional round AP designs. Its understated yet idiosyncratic design has earned the Millenary a niche following among collectors seeking something outside the obvious AP playbook.
Powering the watch is the automatic Caliber 2225, based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre 889/2, with fine finishing. The watch offers a date function and 42 hours of power reserve.
Condition: Excellent condition with light wear consistent with careful use. The dial is clean and the case retains crisp lines. Running well and keeping time.
Includes: Full set — box, papers, and accessories.
