  • Catalogue Essay

    Launched in 2000, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ref. 15202 is the descendant of the famous ref. 5402 sized perfectly at 39mm diameter. Riding on the waves of the model's success, in 2012 Audemars Piguet released an updated iteration of the classic model to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Royal Oak. A celebration of the brand's winning card, the 2012 release features a sapphire caseback that proudly exhibits the firm's ultra-thin calibre 2121. With the discontinuation of the ref. 15202 in 2021, Audemars Piguet strikes the market with the ref. 16202 that celebrates the brand's 50th anniversary with an attractive 50th anniversary rotor that was only in production for the year. Well-preserved and complete with its full set of accessories, the present 15202ST from circa 2016 with an attractive rich blue dial is part of the discontinued iteration from the Royal Oak family.

    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.
