5402BA Dial Colors
Hi Royal Oak Friends!
I have a question about which dials were made for the yellow gold 5402BA. From AP Chronicles and other websites it's clear the 5402ST was only available in Bleu Nuit, the 5402SA in slate grey, but nowhere actually specifies which specific dials were available for the 5402BA? Was it all of them? Just the slate grey and gilded "brown no. 21" (i.e. gold)?
One reason it's not clear to amateurs like myself is there are lot of 5402BA dial color variants available on the market and it's hard to tell if these were different dials, different shades of patina on those dials, different lighting conditions for the online pictures or a combination of all three.
For instance this watch is a very light slate grey:
This watch is a slightly darker grey:
While this watch is a very dark grey:
Perhaps this is a classic parts dial which is why it is so dark?
I'd love to hear from the experts!
Thanks,
Jonathan
