Incoming - Millenary 4101

Hi all,

Finally added an AP to the collection! I wanted a watch that showed my passion for haute horology as I am a big fan of high quality finishing and movements that fit the case.

I am ecstatic to add this amazing timepiece to my collection as it is very unique. The finishing here is second to none throughout and the way the watch is built showcases the 3D movement.

I took a bit of a risk as tried this on a few years ago and bought unseen - it seems to fit me well and is comfortable given the large size. It is also relatively light.

In my opinion this is an absolute steal in the secondary market considering you are getting the very best. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Many thanks all - I know it is the honeymoon period but totally blown away by the quality of it.

A few things I really like about this piece:

- Applied gold roman numerals
- AP deployment which is very comfortable
- The crown which has a nice design
- 22ct gold rotor - beautifully engraved with the AP family crests
- lume inserts on the hour/minute hands
- dial size which is prominent

Many thanks all - pictures do not do this piece any justice, it is spectacular! I am glad of the large size so you can fully appreciate the various aspects of the design. At 13mm thick it still fits nicely under the cuff something I am glad of as it is very distracting!!

Where did you buy and how much did you pay if I don’t mind me asking. I’m in market for this exact reference and not sure what a good price is.

Thank you - must be honest, does feel big at times given I am used to smaller watches but I guess AP’s are meant to fill up the wrist!

For sure they should, but it doesn't look big on you, lots of sexy wrist still showing.
