Made for the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak, the present ref. 14802BA was made in a limited edition of 1000 examples in yellow gold as a tribute to the original Royal Oak model. With a case of 39mm diameters, it was a faithful homage to the original ref. 5402BA, with the biggest change being the sapphire caseback which shows the movement and rotor engraved to commemorate this special edition.

The present watch is notable for its extraordinary condition - the case has never seen polishing in its lifetime and all hallmarks remain crisp and visible. It is our understanding that the first owner in Japan had worn it sparingly before he decided to part with the watch. He had preserved all the original accessories such as the original certificate, and even the original Royal Oak Jubilee box numbered 497. The timepiece is even accompanied by its original hang tag stating it was sold for 3,490,000 Japanese Yen, an Extract from the Archives further confirms that the watch was born in 1994. Already an incredibly rare model, the timepiece is even more remarkable due to its state of preservation.

With more than half a century past since the introduction of the Royal Oak in 1972, "Jubilee" pieces will only become more and more collectible over time, representing another milestone moment in the storied history of the Royal Oak model.
