Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 16202BA.OO.1240BA.02 ‘Jumbo’ Extra-Thin Yellow Gold (2025)

The Royal Oak 16202BA represents the contemporary evolution of Audemars Piguet’s most iconic design, maintaining the beloved Jumbo proportions that defined Gérald Genta’s revolutionary 1972 original reference 5402 while incorporating the latest manufacture movement technology. Introduced in 2022 as the successor to the 50th Anniversary model, this reference continues the legacy of the extra-thin Royal Oak Jumbo showcasing Audemars Piguet’s mastery in creating ultra-thin automatic movements while preserving the architectural purity and balanced proportions that made the original Jumbo a legend. The smoked yellow gold-toned dial with gradient effect creates stunning visual depth that shifts dramatically depending on lighting conditions, offering collectors the warm aesthetic of precious metal execution combined with contemporary dial artistry, appealing to those who appreciate understated luxury with heritage significance in current production form backed by Audemars Piguet’s comprehensive warranty and global service network.
