  • 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.

    Extremely high in demand amongst collectors and connoisseurs, this ref. 15202 with a desirable blue dial is presented in an absolutely unworn condition with the factory sticker still intact on its inner clasp, furthermore it is accompanied with its full set of accessories. With the breaking news from the brand this year, they have revealed the Royal Oak 15202ST will be discontinued starting in 2022 to welcome an entirely new model for the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak. This well-kept treasure is certainly an opportunity not to miss before this already hard to obtain all-time classic comes to an end.
