A new version of the Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin model (ref. 16202) is unveiled with a new grained dial. This limited edition is powered by the Calibre 7121, the latest ultra-thin movement that was introduced in January 2022 for the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak. The 39 mm timepiece comes in a white gold case and will be available exclusively in Audemars Piguet boutiques. This new Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin model continues the historical thread of the eponymous collection. Its grained dial is inspired by a model created in 1992 for the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak collection to enrich the platinum reference 14802 and complement the collection’s historical motifs. Audemars Piguet has reworked the texture of the dial of this new reference to offer a finer and brighter grain that plays with the light differently. Obtained using PVD, the blue tone is then covered with a translucent coating that accentuates the relief and brilliance of the dial and evokes the colour of a clear night sky above Le Brassus, the Manufacture’s home in Switzerland. This new iteration comes with a white gold case and bracelet. The objective was to enhance the contrast with the new blue grained dial, which is also adorned with white gold hour markers and hands enhanced with a luminescent coating to improve readability in the dark. Matching the dial, the background of the date window is also in this midnight blue colour. As for the case, it features Audemars Piguet’s signature alternating finishes with polished bevels that complement the satin-finishing on the bezel and AP folding clasp. True to the traditions of Haute Horlogerie, the Calibre 7121 features prestigious hand-crafted decorations such as Côtes de Genève, circular satin-finishing, snailing, circular graining and polished angles.
