Crown comfort presents an intriguing look at the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202 in white gold, focusing on the elusive dial color. His attempt to accurately capture the hue sparks a discussion about the watch's unique aesthetic and fit, offering valuable insights for collectors considering this rare reference.
Friends,
here is my attempt of capturing the dial colour of the new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202 in white gold.
I would not call it salmon, but more pale gold.
The finishing of the case and bracelet is amazing and the heft of white gold is clearly present.
My only problem is that for some reason the Royal Oak does not sit well on my wrist, even the watch is not too large.
Best,
CC
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak "Jumbo" ref. 15202 is a significant reference within the Royal Oak collection, known for its close adherence to the original 1972 design. It maintains the distinctive slim profile and integrated bracelet that defined the initial Royal Oak, distinguishing it from other Royal Oak models that introduced different sizes or complications. This reference is particularly valued for its historical continuity and minimalist approach to the Royal Oak aesthetic.
This reference features a 39mm case, typically crafted from yellow gold, with a thickness of 8.1mm. It is fitted with a sapphire crystal and offers a water resistance of 50 meters. Powering the watch is the self-winding Caliber 2121, a movement known for its slimness and a power reserve of approximately 40 hours. The dial is presented in blue, complementing the yellow gold case and bracelet.
For collectors, the 15202 represents a direct link to the Royal Oak's origins, appealing to those who prioritize historical accuracy and understated design. Its production run from 2012 to 2019 makes it a sought-after reference among enthusiasts of the "Jumbo" lineage. The combination of its classic dimensions, integrated bracelet, and the Caliber 2121 solidifies its position as a key reference in the Audemars Piguet catalog.
Is the color of the date wheel a better match to the dial in person? This is the second photo I've seen of the watch that makes it look like the date wheel is quite a different color.
I am fan of RO jumbo since many years ago and I do hope could have chance to add the new pink gold dial jumbo to complement my salmon. But I can only dream...
