For sale is a 39mm Audemars Piguet Millenary Ref. 15016ST in Stainless Steel with the Original Leather Strap and Deployant Clasp. The watch is supplied with a 2024 AP service receipt.
The Audemars Piguet Millenary 15016ST is a distinctive timepiece that stands out within the brand’s catalogue. Unlike the Royal Oak, which dominates much of AP’s recognition, the Millenary line offers a unique aesthetic, focusing on both technical sophistication and bold design.
Introduced in 1995, the Millenary collection is known for its oval-shaped case, which sets it apart from traditional round watches and enhances its wrist presence. The polished bezel and refined lugs enhance its luxurious appeal, striking a balance between contemporary and classic aesthetics.
The 39mm stainless steel oval case offers a perfect balance between presence and wearability. While slightly larger than traditional dress watches, its oval shape gives it a unique profile that sits comfortably on the wrist. The elongated design enhances its visual impact, making it appear more prominent than a standard round case of the same diameter. This size ensures versatility—bold enough to stand out, yet refined enough for formal occasions.
This example features a black dial with large Arabic numerals, reminiscent of classic pilot-style watches. Both the numerals and hands feature strong green lume ensuring that the watch remains practical and legible even in darker environments.
The watch is paired with an original AP black leather strap crafted from high-quality leather. The strap is in excellent condition with minimal wear and offers a supple yet durable feel, ensuring both comfort and longevity. The strap features contrasting white stitching, adding a subtle touch of detail that complements the watch’s refined design.
Securing the strap is a stainless steel deployant clasp, engraved with the Audemars Piguet name. This clasp provides a secure fit and enhances convenience, allowing for easy wear and removal while reducing strain on the leather over time.
The watch is powered by the automatic self-winding AP Calibre 2225 which features a quickset date complication displayed at 3 O’clock on the dial.
The Millenary is an excellent entry point into the brand, offering the prestige and craftsmanship of AP at a more accessible level. Despite its high-quality finishing and unique design, the Millenary remains underrated, meaning it can often be found at a highly competitive price compared to other models in the brand’s lineup. This makes it a great value proposition for collectors looking to own an Audemars Piguet without the premium attached to more mainstream pieces like the Royal Oak.
