Royal Oak, 16202BA, Yellow Gold, 2025

Product Description

The Royal Oak has never needed to announce itself. Since 1972, its design has done that quietly through sharp lines, exposed screws, and a silhouette that changed watchmaking for good. In full yellow gold, the 16202BA amplifies that legacy.

This is the Royal Oak at its most complete. Familiar in form, but entirely different in feel. From weight to warmth, the watch shifts from icon to statement, without ever losing its restraint.

At 39mm and just 8.1mm thick, the proportions remain true to the original “Jumbo”. The smoked yellow gold-toned dial adds depth and contrast, fading subtly towards the edges, while the Petite Tapisserie texture keeps everything grounded in the Royal Oak’s DNA. It’s rich, but controlled.

Inside sits the calibre 7121, Audemars Piguet’s modern evolution of the Jumbo movement. Slim, precise, and finished to the standard expected at this level, it delivers a 52-hour power reserve and is visible through the sapphire caseback, complete with the commemorative 50 Years rotor.

The 16202BA isn’t just another Royal Oak. It’s a piece that sits slightly above the rest. Less common, more deliberate, and increasingly sought after by those who understand where the Royal Oak started and where it is now.

Our example is presented in unworn condition, with no signs of wear or polishing. Offered as a complete set, including a 2025-dated warranty card and the original Audemars Piguet box.

We welcome viewings at our Knightsbridge showroom.
