Audemars Piguet

The history of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo is so rich that exhaustivity is both exhausting and almost impossible . Therefore, I have decided to leave aside the openwork variants and the RD#3 Tourbillon . For a more complete information , please re...  

Extraordinary work as always mate! Lovely info and images - you keep on producing top notch quality content again and again, and I both applaud and appreciate it! 5402SA is absolutely sublime! Wish that AP would reintroduce more bimetal pieces as I just c... 

I also find the 5402SA very appealing. AP could reintroduce these bimetallic models, but the vintage charm is unique and a modern watch wouldn't have it, unfortunately. Best, Emmanuel

I almost landed this.one, but the stars were aligned for a different client, who at that time had spent 2mio + at the house in geneva. This is what i was told. ...

The white gold/salmon dial variant?

I was going to say I truly love reading all of your educational and informative posts, which elucidate all of us watch lovers on so many interesting topics. Just wanted to say thank you!

I'm truly touched by your words. Best, Emmanuel

The black one with diamonds, isnt that the "YOSHIDA"?

You are too kind. I’m glad this post was helpful and, most importantly, I wish you the best for finding the 16202 that sings to you! I’m looking forward to seeing which one you will choose to complement your beautiful green dial 15510! Best, Emmanuel

Emmanuel, another reference quality post! Not easy to do when writing about the Royal Oak. Thanks my Friend!

I sometimes regret selling my reference 14802, but during the pandemic, I attained an approximate 1000% return on my investment and couldn’t resist. One of the few occasions on which I actually made money on a watch! The prices on Royal Oaks are, in my op...  

And no regrets: a 1000% return is quite something. Best, Emmanuel

In my personal opinion RO Jumbo is the most comfortable full metal watch. The only watch that beats it in terms of comfort is Bulgari Octo Finissimo in titanium. But the RO looks way nicer not mentioning the waaay better decorated movement.

It is really special. Best, Emmanuel

My one and only AP is the second generation 15202. I purchased this in the grey market back in 2014 at list - those were the days 🤣. Apart from the green dial a few years later there hasn’t been another that I’ve coveted in the meantime. The charm of doin... 

but I agree that it’s not a good enough reason to move to the 16202. I don’t have a RO and will probably never own one (given the prices and my priorities), but it doesn’t prevent me from sincerely admiring it. Best, Emmanuel

When it comes to jumbos this is all I've got. ...  

I assume it's an early 15202 and the white dial with Arabic minutes track sets is a little apart from most other variants. Best, Emmanuel

Of course the 16202 has a three-part case, not two-part like the OG 5402, but I still think it's a great version of the Jumbo with an improved movement and it makes a wonderful duo with your 5711! Huge congratulations again on this acquisition! Best, Emma...
