The Heritage

The Audemars Piguet Millenary 15016ST.OO.D080VS.01 is an asymmetric elliptical steel case watch with a 38 mm diameter, launched in 1995. It houses the AP 2225 caliber, an in-house movement providing hours, minutes, seconds, and date. The 20 mm lug width accommodates standard straps, though the elliptical case geometry requires curved attachment points for optimal fitment.

FAQ

What is the lug width of the Audemars Piguet Millenary 15016ST.OO.D080VS.01?

The lug width of the Millenary 15016ST.OO.D080VS.01 is 20 mm. To verify this, position a caliper or millimeter ruler between the two lugs at their innermost point: the measured value is the correct width for selecting a compatible strap.

What is the best strap for the Audemars Piguet Millenary 15016ST.OO.D080VS.01?

Given the elliptical case geometry and mixed satin-polished finish of the steel, the most suitable strap is in mississippiensis alligator with hornback grain in midnight blue, slate gray, or havana brown tones. Box calf with natural patina is a more understated yet equally refined alternative. For sports use, fine-grained vulcanized rubber ensures aesthetic appeal and comfort.

How do you change the strap on the Audemars Piguet Millenary 15016ST.OO.D080VS.01?

The strap is removed using a dedicated springbar tool with a fine tip, applying leverage on the spring bar positioned inside the lug. Given the curved geometry of the Millenary lugs, it is recommended to proceed with caution to avoid scratching the polished case surfaces. If in doubt, it is preferable to consult a watchmaker or Casati Milano.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Audemars Piguet Millenary 15016ST.OO.D080VS.01?

Yes. All straps with a 20 mm attachment are technically compatible with the 15016ST.OO.D080VS.01. On milanostraps.it you will find a dedicated selection of 20 mm straps in various materials and finishes. For optimal integration with the elliptical case geometry, Casati Milano offers bespoke crafted straps with custom-curved terminals.

How long does a leather strap last on an Audemars Piguet Millenary?

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the leather, care, and daily use. A high-end alligator or calf strap, kept away from excessive water and perspiration and properly stored, can last 2 to 5 years while developing a noble patina. Casati Milano straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
