AP ladies collection and the Millenary
I appreciate that AP is still committed to their women's collection. Royal Oak ladies is a classic but more casual and sporty. I think the women's Millenary line is great, particularly the AP 'Zodiac' from a few years ago:
Cool details on the transparent caseback with the row of diamonds surrounding the view of the movement:

Audemars Piguet Ladies Collection
The past few years from Audemars Piguet have been much of what we have expected. After all, AP has been more clear and concise with the company message, and the SIHH releases and other strategies support the various mantras. The authorized dealer network ...
Hmmm . . .
My wife and I celebrate our 30th anniversary this summer. Should I or shouldn't I? I really like the rose gold quartz Ladies' Offshore with a touch of bling. Very classy imo. On the other hand, the small seconds JA on gold bracelet is just gorgeous. Thank...
30 years... you should for sure!
Having met the wonderful Mrs. M4, I think she would fancy one of these great offerings :-)
I have one huge issue with AP's Ladies Collection:
Are all the mechanical watches made for female sumo wrestlers? In north Europe the average size of a modern lady is somewhere just below 179 cm and below 60 kg. Many of the "Ladies watches" are bigger than the wrist of the lady in question. I desperately ...
The Jules Audemars Small seconds is only 33mm.
And is stunning. I really like the manual movement in it as well. I can see how the larger Royal Oaks and maybe the new Millenaries would challenging for a very small wrist. At least the Millenary design is oval across the wrist, and the strap attachment ...
Thank you Michael,
I checked the home page of AP and indeed, there was this watch also in WG. Greyish MOP dial with red gold hands and hour markers. A watch that would look good together with my PP 5550P. We will visit the Boutique during the weekend and have a look. I do n...
Tracie's wrist is tiny too.
Even as ladies watches come with shorter straps, we are always ordering replacements. So we are both happy to see these mechanical movement ladies watches; maybe a next step for AP will be to have more offerings w/ mechanical motors in smaller cases. Real...
Michael, I do not how to put here a smile,
if I would, for sure it would be here. I had an opportunity to express my ideas to a member of the AP higher management here in Singapore. Can you imagined that I would have been quiet? I gave them full and simple SWOT analysis (not a very sophisticated w...
I can confirm that here in the US...
AP North America takes great interest in what the AP owners and watch collectors think. This feedback is surely passed along to AP Switzerland. Every region has its own attributes; how all of the information is applied is probably a continual process.
That's how it should be!
I told AP that when they makes a Jules Audemar Equation of Time in platinum case and blue dial, I will buy it. Let's see - I think I'm safe. Best, Kari
For me the Millenary is absolutely gorgeous.
A great watch but with a big question mark... Are women ready to buy handwind watches? Anyway, it looks fantastic on a lady's wrist! Fx ...
My lady has a trained primate to wind watches
Its called the current Dr MTF :-) Regards, MTF
Likewise, my wife commands me to "set this watch, please"
and occasionally shows me proudly that she has done it herself. But if it calls for setting the date - that's virtually impossible because the date opening is too small, and thus she doesn't know that there is a date, OR she doesn't know the setting proce...
She Who Must be Obeyed is a fan of mechanical watches
The funny thing is that the current Mrs MTF has been collecting (defined as more than 3 watches) longer than me. She likes mechanical movents only but has one exeption to that rule...a Chopard Happy Sport, of course, but with extra diamonds and unique spi...
The ladies AP Offshore is a sexy watch for a confident woman
But the below ladies AP Millenary is to die for IMO. This one will look sexy on any woman's wrist! Cheers, Anthony ...
Aah... the Millenary Starlit Sky
Also a favorite of mine! Thanks for your input Anthony.
Thank you for this report, Michael!
I have said it before and I will say it again.... Very happy to see some of the major brands doing serious watches for ladies! :) Not long ago you could only find Q-versions for the ladies... Best Blomman
I certainly agree with you.
I have seen TracieC's interest in mechanical movement ladies watches continually grow, and I feel it is important for the serious brands to have such offerings. BTW, I don't want to threadjack my own thread, but I owe you some remarks on Tracie's lady GP....

wow that is an exotic look with the zodiac signs and jewels
I don't remember seeing it before. Mike
It was during the AP Quincy Jones Millenary LE event
I posted it several years ago in ThePuristS AP forum, when we did a report on the AP Millenary Quincy Jones LE event here in Los Angeles. The zodiac is a really cool design. Regards, ED-209
Great photos ED209
I love that Zodiac! I also applaud AP for the extra details on the caseback... very feminine and appropriate.
Thanks Michael, the zodiac
Agree with you on the caseback it is really nice. Regards, ED-209
The one rule about any gem-set watch for Ladies
"If white diamonds are used, the setting metal must be white.....gold, platinum or steel." The yellow and rose gold watches complement coloured stones better. The Millenary case shape lends itself well to ladies' wrists with lots of space for gem-setting ...
Snap! Double down.........
You started this...... The worrying thing is that all three watches may be for men....or at least unisex! eek! :-) MTF Chopard Tourbillon Rolex Date Just Piaget Polo ...
Michael I blame you for this post now...
I was replying psychotic on this post and my wife saw on my iPhone a pic from your post. She asked me to show her your post (and I knew I was in trouble) She then commented AP makes many nice ladies watches which i never shared with her.... Oops Then she ...
LOL, I got my own problems Boss!
Tracie loves the new Millenaries and is eager to try one on. Alas, no AP Boutiques in Denver! :-)
No boutiques is good news for your wallet hehe
So I see we are on the same boat my friend lol Cheers Robin
Some jeweled men's versions would be cool...
Music legend Quincy Jones was sporting an all white gold/platinum all diamond pavé version of the Millenary AP that looked great on his wrist. Probably one of the very few Millenary APs that I've seen in the wild. Definitely a unique design and a good thi...
