1972 was an important pivotal point and breakthrough in Audemar 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 ultra-thin in-house self-winding calibre 2121 derived from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s legendary JLC920 movement. Extremely high in demand amongst collectors and connoisseurs, the present example with the sought-after blue dial and its full set of accessories is in an attractive condition. This well-kept treasure is certainly a perfect opportunity to have this hard to obtain all-time classic.
