This year, Audemars Piguet has revisited the iconic Royal Oak Jumbo in a platinum version, still in 39 mm, associated with a sunny smoked green dial.
This new platinum reference -15202PT- unveils a case similar to that of the steel or gold version. The same goes for the extra-flat mechanical movement and the diameter. However, the emblematic “Petite Tapisserie” pattern dial of the model is absent from this revisited version. A significant change…
The case and bracelet in platinum
The 8 hexagonal screws of the octagonal bezel are made of white gold and the “falling” bracelet is just right for the case. A perfect assembly of links and decreasing intermediate studs characterizes the collection in a unique way.
Among its other qualities? Water resistance to 50 meters and a beating rhythm similar to the original model. The extra-thin mechanical self-winding movement, caliber 2121 with date window, is only 3.05 mm thick.
Thanks to 247 components, the mechanical movement has a standard power reserve of 40 hours at a frequency of 19,800 vibrations per hour (2.75Hz). The monobloc oscillating weight, entirely made of 22K gold, is stamped “AP Audemars Piguet” in relief. The “Petite Tapisserie” motif even decorates its outer segment.
An unusual and timeless watch
Designed by Gérald Genta for Audemars Piguet and presented at the Basel trade show in the spring of 1972, the watch features a sublime extra-flat mechanical movement (Jaeger base) in a steel case at the price of a gold watch.
It was not an immediate success as the 39mm watch was considered to be out of the ordinary compared to the small watches that were in fashion at the time.
With more than 40 years of existence, the Royal Oak has become a true icon of the house of Audemars Piguet but also of modern watchmaking. Indeed, this prestigious sports watch is omnipresent in the history of the watchmaking house and represents one of the most desired luxury watches on the market.
It is the jewel of some collectors such as businessmen like the famous Giovanni Agnelli, emblematic boss of Fiat, or other figures of the international jet set.
