Audemars Piguet (AP) has been creating complicated watches for women for over 130 years, it first began back in 1883. Since entering the segment, the Le Brassus brand has always crafted lady’s timepieces with the goal of making them reliable, beautiful to wear and demonstrating expert craftsmanship. At SIHH this year, AP is continuing with that tradition by releasing a number of new references across its various, for ladies, collections.

For our money, the Millenary is the most captivating lady’s timepiece that AP released at SIHH 2015.
The Millenary and Royal Oak collections have been updated with a number of new references, and AP has also introduced unique haute joaillerie pieces, known as the Diamond Punk. While the Royal Oak is what AP is best known for, its Millenary collection has been gaining significant attention in the 20 years since its introduction. In fact, here, the big story is actually the new Millenary.
The new Millenary timepieces are the most interesting because they sport an all new, manual-winding in-house calibre. The calibre 5201 is the result of three years of development and was created to suit the Millenary’s oval case.
