I stumbled across this excellent photo by Paul Boutros that makes it very easy to see the differences between the 15202 and 2012 reboot that are otherwise missable when viewed in isolation. (Annotations added by me.) A: The clasp. Nice idea of AP to try and update things here. I know some find the s
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.
...say better either from the predecessor 0944 - Agree with Tim there that a combo of old and new cud result in best Jumbo. A bout time it adds more value to it for the price it dictates but as long as customers continue to bid up the price AP has no incentive to offer an upgrade - just keep the supply tight instead. Sad but truth - this is APs 5711.
... and at 2011 list prices I've got F-H B's email somewhere......
