Reference Guide
Peter (pfang56) shares his extraordinary experience of acquiring the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 'Jumbo' Extra-Thin Ref. 16202ST for the brand's 50th anniversary. His post not only captures the thrill of obtaining a highly coveted timepiece but also initiates a valuable comparative discussion, offering firsthand insights into the subtle yet significant evolutions of this iconic reference.
Do you have a 15202 as well? If so, I’m curious what difference you notice between the two, or perhaps the difference is too small to really notice. Congratulations again 👏🏼
Comparing to my 15202 rose gold, I can tell a few things immediately: A) The 50th winding and setting mechanism is definitely smoother and more efficient, and the setting of the date is such a breeze B) the 50th lugs are much more "flush" and "thin" to my wrist, providing a much better and more comfortable fit C) the 50th Bleu Neut colour is a blue grey (a la the original) vs a brighter blue in the 15202, allowing for a more subdued and elegant look All in all, an incredible piece and of course,
It’s always nice to see when special pieces like this go to people with a sincere passion and appreciation for them…congratulations again!
Many thanks, Cheers Peter
