It is an original and nice watch

This is of course the kind of watch, because of its shape, which will not be everyone's taste.
But I often noticed that what is special is also something that can lead to much more appeal.
In other words, what is more conservative usually attracts more customers but is less exciting and vice versa.
I wouldn't get that one but it is nice it exists as it allows the brand to distinguish itself from others.
Thanks a lot for the review Blomman.
Cheers, Mark

Audemars Piguet – Millenary ref 15350, a closer view
By: blomman Mr Blue : July 13th, 2015-00:26
Inspired by Michael’s Millenary in the Rocky Mountains I went to my local AD to have a look at the Audemars Piguet Millenary reference 15350. The Millenary is another of AP’s lesser known models. The version I saw was the Stainless steel with automatic mo...

This Millenary is a very successful design by AP. It evokes feelings of complicated Millenaries that cost 10x as much. It is easy to hear "47mm" and be concerned for this large size. But as you say, it wears very comfortably and much smaller on the wrist ...
I consider the 15350 a future classic...

...and it's been on my list of Must Haves for a while now. But for the moment I'll be content with my first generation model, which I like for its obscurity and simplicity. ...
Thanks. No stone in the crown on the stainless version...

...which is what mine is, but the gold versions have a sapphire if I remember correctly. The crown's very small. The size looks right for the style of the watch but it's difficult to wind, although as an automatic, winding isn't really much of an issue. I...
The crown doesn't look small....

But to such a wide case it is easy to get fooled by the eye.... Thank you for the additional info. Best Blomman
There is a lot to say about the movement.

I'm a proud owner of the Millenary 4101, much more known with the caliber reference than with the catalogue one (15350). The movement is pure magic. It is not an evolution of the 3120, it only shares the automatic winding system. But it has its own freque...
Didn't know that...
