Why it holds value
The Royal Oak Jumbo is the direct descendant of Gerald Genta's 1972 design that created the luxury-steel-sports category. Extremely limited allocation and grail status keep it trading far above retail, with full sets the most sought after.
- 39mm steel case, extra-thin automatic caliber 7121.
- Integrated bracelet and the signature blue Grande Tapisserie dial.
- 16202ST replaced the long-running 15202 in 2022.
FAQ
Why is the Royal Oak Jumbo so hard to get?
Audemars Piguet makes them in small numbers and prioritizes long-standing clients, so most buyers pay a significant premium on the secondary market.
