  • Catalogue Essay

    The Audemars Piguet ref. 15202 is a direct successor to the original Royal Oak ref. 5402. It was launched in 2000 and re-issued in 2012 to commemorate its 40th anniversary. The ref. 15202 is equipped with the same cal. 2121 movement, which has been in use for 50 years. This movement not only provides the wearer with an interesting quick-set date function but also maintains the watch's ultra-thin profile.

    Staying true to the design of the ref. 5402, the ref. 15202 incorporates all the original elements, including the slender case, tapisserie dial, Royal Oak bracelet, and automatic movement. The sapphire crystal display back reveals a new skeletonized rotor that offers an unobstructed view of the movement. The ref. 15202 is available in two dial variations. Earlier versions feature the AP logo at 12 o'clock, while the original ref. 5402 and the present example display the AP logo at the lower part of the dial.

    In 2022, the ref. 15202 was discontinued and succeeded by the ref. 16202, which was released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak collection. In addition to its increased collectability, the present example is offered in virtually unworn condition.

This Le Brassus-based Swiss manufacturer is one of only two major manufacturers still owned by the founding family. Since its earliest days, AP is considered a leader in the field of minute repeaters and grande complication pocket and wristwatches. The brand is devoted to preserving the history of watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, showcased at their superb museum in Le Brassus.

    Today, the brand is best known for its Royal Oak models, a revolutionary luxury sports watch launched in 1972. Other key models include early minute repeating wristwatches, vintage chronograph wristwatches, such as the oversized reference 5020, perpetual calendar watches and the Royal Oak Offshore, first introduced in 1993.
