Not a lot of real life pictures out there so I thought I’d share one.

Received it a few days ago. There’s more to the hue of the dial that the iPhone camera lets me capture - its got a real depth to it, changing with different light exposures. Its truly captivating to stare at.

A lot of fuzz about green dials now a days. My 2 cents. I really like them, at least this iteration. However, its somewhat challenging to have this watch fit well with an outfit. Ie. It would be terrible with a typical navy suit. Thus, I think this watch is better suited to a person with access to a wide collection. If I could only buy one watch, this would not be it.

Its a 15202 so not much new to add about the movement. Platinum and 39mm is a great combination for my wrist. Feels sturdier than its steel counterpart.

Price aside, I can only say I love this watch. It kept me up at night before receiving it, and still does.






About the Audemars Piguet Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202 YG Ref. 15202

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak "Jumbo" ref. 15202 is a significant reference within the Royal Oak collection, known for its close adherence to the original 1972 design. It maintains the distinctive slim profile and integrated bracelet that defined the initial Royal Oak, distinguishing it from other Royal Oak models that introduced different sizes or complications. This reference is particularly valued for its historical continuity and minimalist approach to the Royal Oak aesthetic.

This reference features a 39mm case, typically crafted from yellow gold, with a thickness of 8.1mm. It is fitted with a sapphire crystal and offers a water resistance of 50 meters. Powering the watch is the self-winding Caliber 2121, a movement known for its slimness and a power reserve of approximately 40 hours. The dial is presented in blue, complementing the yellow gold case and bracelet.

For collectors, the 15202 represents a direct link to the Royal Oak's origins, appealing to those who prioritize historical accuracy and understated design. Its production run from 2012 to 2019 makes it a sought-after reference among enthusiasts of the "Jumbo" lineage. The combination of its classic dimensions, integrated bracelet, and the Caliber 2121 solidifies its position as a key reference in the Audemars Piguet catalog.

1st one, huge congrats!

Your sentiments nail it. Not a watch for every day and all outfits, but super special. I give AP a lot of credit for the "smoked dial" rage too; every brand has adopted this idea but AP makes them look amazing.
