Catalogue Essay
1972 was an important pivotal point and breakthrough in Audemars Piguet’s history. The debut of the Royal Oak ref. 5402 designed by the early Gerald Genta with nautical inspiration was the beginning of an exciting avant-garde movement. The unprecedented design of an octagonal bezel derived from the porthole of a naval ship and the exposure of naked screws strapped with an integrated bracelet quickly became a cult classic of sports-luxury steel wristwatches.
The Royal Oak Jumbo ref. 15202ST, descendant of the original 1972 model was released in 2012 to mark the 40th anniversary of the icon. The timepiece is powered by the very same ultra-thin in-house self-winding calibre 2121 derived from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s legendary JLC920 movement used for the ref. 5402.
Having enjoyed a production spanning 10 years, the ref. 15202 has finally been discontinued in 2022 with Audemars Piguet celebrating their 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak by ending a successful chapter to start a new one with the ref. 16202. With the discontinuation of the ref. 15202, collectors have started to hunt down examples of the reference that remains well-preserved to commemorate an important reference of the Royal Oak.
Unworn, in steel and with the most desirable dial in blue, the present example from circa 2017 offered by the original owner and complete with its full set of accessories is a gem. This present example and reference is perhaps the perfect timepiece for collectors to acquire and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic Royal Oak.
