Footnote
Consigned by the family of the original owner, the condition for this watch could be described as ‘Unused’. With no evidence of being polished, it was purchased new as a special present to themselves and cherished, to be held, admired and enjoyed, but not worn. Complete with all correct accompanying documentation from new, it presents an excellent opportunity to acquire an example of the iconic and often overlooked Millenary range from Audemars Piguet. In 2012, the UK retail price paid was £28,700.
