In my opinion that would be
the current 15202.
Hi there!
In 2012 for the 40th anniversary of the Royal Oak they released a new 15202. Same reference as the watch they had been making for 10 or so years but with subtle changes.
The most obvious is the change of position of the AP insignia, they took it from 6 o'clock, and moved it back to 12, where it was on the 5402.
There is also no white line around the date window like the 5402, and its 39mm as well.
There are some differences to be sure, like the exhibition back, but this has got to be the most true without actually owning an A series 5402.
Regards,
Dylan
