Well, sounds like the supply originates from a 3 phase service BUT you do not necessisarily have " 3 phase" power in your apartment..
What you did though is hook a receptacle across both "legs" of your service panel, so basically anything you plug in will get blasted with 208V and will soon "self incinerate". You need to have a white wire present in the box to connect a receptacle. If you were reading 120V with a meter from black to blue you were reading it THROUGH a load thats connected to neutral, that wasnt on at the time. Its kind of hard to picture I know but unless you can get a neutral to that location, you can't put an outlet there.
