Read Conditions of Sale
1972 was an important pivotal point and breakthrough in Audemar Piguet’s history. The debut of the Royal Oak ref. 5402 designed by the early Gerald Genta with nautical inspiration was the beginning of an exciting avant-garde movement. The unprecedented design of an octagonal bezel derived from the porthole of a naval ship and the exposure of naked screws strapped with an integrated bracelet quickly became a cult classic of sports-luxury steel wristwatches.

The Royal Oak Jumbo ref. 15202ST, descendant of the original 1972 model was released in 2012 to mark the 40th anniversary of the icon. The timepiece is powered by the ultra-thin in-house self-winding calibre 2121 derived from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s legendary JLC920 movement. Extremely high in demand amongst collectors and connoisseurs, the present example with the sought-after blue dial and its full set of accessories is in an attractive condition. This well-kept treasure is certainly a perfect opportunity to have this hard to obtain all-time classic.

Audemars Piguet

Swiss | 1881

A specialist in the manufacture of complications since it was established in 1881, Audemars Piguet never ceases to impress with a rich history of creating bold, even audacious, timepieces underpinned by traditional watchmaking at its finest. This Le Brassus-based Swiss manufacturer is one of only two major manufacturers still owned by the founding family. Since its earliest days, AP is considered a leader in the field of minute repeaters and grande complication pocket and wristwatches. The brand is devoted to preserving the history of watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, showcased at their superb museum in Le Brassus.


Today, the brand is best known for its Royal Oak models, a revolutionary luxury sports watch launched in 1972. Other key models include early minute repeating wristwatches, vintage chronograph wristwatches, such as the oversized reference 5020, perpetual calendar watches and the Royal Oak Offshore, first introduced in 1993.
