Nicknamed "IP" by collectors—referring to the last two letters of its reference number, indicating titanium and platinum—this watch symbolizes the pinnacle of the Royal Oak legacy. In this model, the collector discovers a striking combination of two opposing metals: ultra-light and technical titanium for the case and bracelet links, paired with heavy and luxurious platinum for the bezel and central links. The seamless blend of these contrasting materials results in a supremely attractive final product.
The degradé ultramarine blue dial signifies a new tier of experimentation for the 15202 reference, subtly yet significantly diverging from the common monochrome dials. This bold choice, too, delivers an incredibly powerful aesthetic impact.
This timepiece has been preserved in "like-new" condition in the past few years, scarcely worn by the collector. Its unrestrained beauty and desirability, combined with its limited production of just 250 pieces, have led to considerable frustration among collectors; only the brand’s most important enthusiasts could secure one of these remarkable watches at retail.
