The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202ST.OO.1240ST.01 is a modern take on a truly iconic watch from the mind of one of the greatest watch designers of all time. The Royal Oak was designed by Gerald Genta, and was first released in 1972 to somewhat mixed reactions. The reference of the first Royal Oak was 5402, and early examples, with the “AP” placed at 6 o’clock, are prized by collectors. The modern reference 15202 is a return to that original orientation, and represents a direct link to the past. The unique bracelet wears amazingly on the wrist, and is aided by the extremely thin case, which houses the caliber 2121, making it only slightly thicker than the original. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202 is priced at $22,500, with pre-owned examples regularly fetching in the neighborhood of $25,000.
