Audemars Piguet 16202ST Royal Oak Jumbo SS Blue Dial

The Audemars Piguet 16202ST.OO.1240ST.01 Royal Oak Jumbo Stainless Steel Blue Dial is widely acknowledged as the successor to the legendary Royal Oak 15202, first introduced in 2022. This model carries forward the unmistakable design cues established by Gerald Genta’s 1972 icon, offering the classic 39mm “Jumbo” case in stainless steel paired with the beloved Petite Tapisserie blue dial—a subtle nod to the original reference 5402. Powered by the modern caliber 7121 automatic movement, this reference marked the debut of a new-generation ultra-thin movement, bringing improved robustness and a quick-set date mechanism while staying faithful to the original’s slim profile. The integrated steel bracelet, brushed-finished case, and octagonal bezel deliver crisp, architectural wrist presence. Collectors laud this model for its purity and its role as a direct continuation of horological history, now enhanced with a display case back showing off the AP-signed rotor. Revered for its historical significance, technical advancement, and limited production, the 16202ST remains a blue-chip acquisition for any serious Audemars Piguet or steel sports watch collector.
