  • Catalogue Essay

    Originally launched in the early 1970’s, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is deemed by many as the very first luxury sports wristwatch produced in stainless steel and was for a moment the most expensive of its kind. Designed by visionary Gerald Genta, the design featuring a sharp octagonal case and bezel with naked screws strapped with an integrated bracelet is first of its kind immediately earning its very own identity.

    The present ref. 15202ST with a desired blue dial belongs to the latest iteration of the famed model featuring a case measuring 39mm diameter. Powered by cal. 2121 with a Jaeger-LeCoultre, it was the thinnest self-winding caliber at the time of its launch and still remains in use till date.

    Extremely high in demand amongst collectors and watch lovers, the present example with the full set of accessories and presented in attractive overall condition is certainly a great opportunity for seekers who are looking to skip the long queue to acquire one at instance.
