Now available, a Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin “50th Anniversary” in rose gold.

The Royal Oak dates back to 1972, when Audemars Piguet entrusted the legendary watch designer Gerald Genta to create the world’s first luxury sports watch in stainless steel. Fast forward to 2012, the brand celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the model with the introduction of this reference’s predecessor, the 15202, which has since been discontinued and replaced with this, the 16202.

Produced for just a one-year period in 2022, there really are not many of these special anniversary Royal Oaks. Celebrating 50 years of the iconic Genta design, the models are aesthetically almost-identical to those in regular production, however bear a very special oscillating weight reading “50 YEARS”.

Without a doubt one of, if not the most iconic watches of the 21st century to date, the reference 16202 takes all of the much-loved design language of the original reference 5402 from 1972, but with modern manufacturing throughout. In this instance, it adapts Audemars Piguet’s rose gold for the case and bracelet, with an all-new smoked grey dial with “Petite Tapisserie” pattern.

Having been worn just a handful of times, the watch comes to us in almost-new condition and is fully complete with its entirety of accessories from new. It is available for viewing in London and purchase worldwide. Please get in touch for further information.
