Launched in 2012 to mark the 40th anniversary of the original steel Royal Oak reference 5402, the 15202ST maintains the similar slim case proportions and dial design with the double batons at 12 o’clock and applied ‘AP’ logo at 6 o’clock as its illustrious predecessor. Over the last decade, the 15202ST has become one of the most sought after of all current production Audemars Piguet wristwatches. The model’s desirability has been propelled to an even higher level when it was discontinued in 2022.
The Royal Oak
Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak is a phenomenon, one of the most recognizable and successful wristwatch models of all time and the first luxury steel sports watch. The concept of the luxury sports watch was completely alien when the Royal Oak was introduced in 1972. The Royal Oak was designed by none other than Gerald Genta, the man behind many of the most enduring wristwatch designs of the last 50 years. The watch featuring an octagonal screwed bezel that was initially inspired by an antique diver’s helmet is, without a doubt, one of the most iconic wristwatch designs of the 20th century.
