Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15002

Selling a quite rare Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo - Model 15002. The 15002 was manufactured in the mid-1990s to commemorate the original Royal Oak 5402. While not much has been written about the 15002, my research indicates that AP made an edition of less than 200 of this model making this one of the rarest of the Royal Oak models. It of course utilizes the stellar 2121 calibre and has the very nice Clous de Paris dial in dark blue. Like the original model 5402, this has a closed back. One of the unique features of the 15002 is that the case has an opening where the stem enters the case which enables the movement to be removed from the case with the stem still attached. My understanding is that this is the only Royal Oak Jumbo model with this feature. I would describe the watch as in Very Good condition. It has one small hairline scratch on the bezel between 2 and 3 that could easily be buffed out by a professional. It has a couple of small scratches on the bracelet near the clasp. Other than those two issues, it is very, very clean especially for a watch that is more than 15 years old. It comes with original inner and outer box, as shown in pictures, and the original papers as purchased from an AD. I even stil have the original hang tag. It is in excellent operating condition and keeping accurate time. Here is an opportunity to acquire perhaps the rarest of all the Royal Oak Jumbo models which very rarely come on the market. My asking price is $14,000 shipped in the CONUS.
