Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo 16202BC

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak "Jumbo" Extra-Thin, ref. 16202BC.OO.1240BC.02, reinterprets one of horology's most influential designs in an 18-carat white gold case measuring 39mm across and just 8.1mm thick, true to the ultra-slim profile that made the original 1972 Jumbo a landmark of sports watch design. The case pairs with a matching white gold bracelet and AP folding clasp, along with a glareproofed sapphire crystal and an exhibition sapphire caseback that shows off the movement. What sets this reference apart is its newly introduced blue dial with a "grainy" textured finish, a fresh take on the classic Royal Oak look, set off by white gold applied hour-markers and luminescent-coated Royal Oak hands.

Inside is AP's newer in-house Calibre 7121, a selfwinding movement running at 28,800 vibrations per hour with 33 jewels and a 52-hour power reserve, driving simple, elegant hours, minutes and date functions, with the date window at 3 o'clock. Water resistance sits at 50 metres, reflecting the watch's dressier, refined character rather than a sport-focused build. It's a piece for collectors after the pure, extra-thin Royal Oak silhouette elevated with precious metal and a distinctive dial treatment, rather than the tool-watch robustness of the Offshore line.
