The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak (ref. 16202BA.OO.1240BA.02) updates a legendary silhouette in solid yellow gold, continuing the legacy of the original 1972 icon with refined precision and tone-on-tone elegance.

Measuring 39mm across its distinct octagonal bezel, the yellow-gold case is paired with a matching integrated bracelet and a champagne dial featuring the signature Petite Tapisserie texture. This reference marks the transition from the Royal Oak’s 50th Anniversary line to its latest production variant, now housing calibre 7121 – a newly developed self-winding movement. Slim at only 3.2mm thick, it delivers 55 hours of power reserve while maintaining the “Jumbo” Extra-Thin profile that defines this reference. Water-resistance is rated at 50 m.

Launched in 2022, the 16202BA preserves the proportions and finishing of Gérald Genta’s original design while updating the internals for modern reliability. Champagne-dial “Jumbo” models in full yellow gold remain among the most coveted configurations, drawing collectors toward their cohesive palette and historical resonance.
