Catalogue Essay
Reference 15202 has become one of the most coveted watches of the past years.
It was first introduced in steel and yellow gold cases in 2000, while retaining the 39mm case of the original “Jumbo” as well as the automatic cal 2121 it had a more modern vibe with the large tapisserie dial and sapphire caseback.
The model featured for the first time a silver dial but was also available with dark blue and cosmos blue dials. The pink gold version was launched in 2006. In 2012 for the model’s 40th anniversary the dial of reference 15202 was revamped to make it closer in looks to the original ref 5402 with the AP logo placed at 6 o’clock and petite tapisserie dial.
There are timepieces whose sheer flamboyance and exuberance verges on magnificence and pure awesomeness. The present white gold and diamond-set Royal Oak is one of them.
When launched the Royal Oak ref 5402 in steel cost more than any gold watch on Audemars Piguet’s catalogue. However, in 1977 the brand decided to up the ante by offering a new Royal Oak reference 5402 lavishly clad in yellow gold once again changing the game by offering a luxury leisure watch in a precious metal.
The present reference 15202 is lavish, glamorous, bold and unabashedly attractive. It is a statement piece, fully fitted with diamonds to its full capacity, the case and bracelet are decadently set with 1,102 brilliant-cut diamonds weighing a total of 7.09 carats, while its pavé dial is set with 384 brilliant-cut diamonds weighing a total of 2.44 carats.
