Description

I am re-listing this as my account is back online.  

Now I am getting rid of watches that I do not need.  My reference are numerous, so please ask.  I can introduce many references.


Here is the 1st one - Royal Oak 5402ST .

Disclosure:
- Bracelet is modern: but AP Japan did a great job to make the color very close to the case color by adjusting the brush finish of the bracelet.  Clasp is original.
- Dial is original.  But hour/minute hands have been replaced and "lumi" is still alive on those two hands.  Index lumi no longer works (therefore, original). 
- Serviced and some restoration above was done a few years back at AP Japan.
- With box.

Asking USD40K  Not following recent market.  The watch will be shipped from Japan or if you are in New York, I will be there late Jan. to early Feb.

Please ask any questions you have.  

A Happy New Year, and Thank you for looking!

📖 About This Reference

The Royal Oak reference 5402 is recognized as the original iteration of the model, introduced in 1972. This reference established the design language that would define the Royal Oak collection, characterized by its integrated bracelet and octagonal bezel secured by visible screws. It was initially presented as a luxury sport watch, distinguishing itself through its material and finishing in a period dominated by more traditional dress watch aesthetics. The 5402 was produced in various series, with the A-series being the earliest and most sought after by collectors. The watch features a 39mm stainless steel case, often referred to as the "Jumbo" size, which was considered substantial for its era. It houses the self-winding Caliber 2121, a thin movement derived from Jaeger-LeCoultre's Caliber 920, known for its full-rotor design. The movement provides a power reserve of approximately 40 hours. The crystal protecting the dial is acrylic, and the watch offers a water resistance of 50 meters, suitable for general wear. For collectors, the reference 5402 holds significance as the foundational model of a major watch series. Its various production series (A, B, C, D) present nuances in dial text and case back engravings that are closely examined. The integrated steel bracelet is an integral part of its design, contributing to its distinct profile. The blue dial, often with a "tapisserie" pattern, is a hallmark of this early reference, though other dial variations exist.

Collector Discussions

I succumbed unfortunately..
Owner has had multiple Audemars Piguet watches, regretted selling some, and vowed to never buy another. Despite this, recently added another jumbo watch due to personal preference, but does not plan on buying more from the manufacturer.

Unique in the Ulysse Nardin Modern Era: Cal UN 160.
A movement dedicated to only one watch, the 160. Replaced a few years after by the Cal 118. Only 1000 made, 500 in white gold, 500 in rose gold. Historical. Best, Nicolas
