The Audemars Piguet watch brand has officially unveiled a platinum version of the Royal Oak “Jumbo” with a green dial, marking a new addition to its collection of green-themed editions. This model not only brings a fresh look to the iconic watch but also showcases Audemars Piguet’s refinement and creativity in design. Let’s explore it with DWatch Factory!
First Impressions Audemars Piguet Watch
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Ref 15202PT features a 39mm platinum case combined with a fully platinum bracelet and a sapphire case back. While Audemars Piguet has released many versions with various dial colors, the green of this edition provides a novel and captivating sensation. The green dial with a gradient effect from light to dark creates a striking presence, perfectly complementing the white gold hour markers and luminous hands.
Design and Mechanism
This watch maintains the structure of the original Royal Oak model, eschewing complex features like chronographs or tourbillons, highlighting the refined simplicity that Audemars Piguet pursues. The matte dial of the 15202PT edition harmonizes beautifully with the visual weight of the watch, blending seamlessly with the shimmering green.
Inside, the watch is equipped with Audemars Piguet’s renowned Caliber 2121 movement, featuring a solid gold self-winding mechanism and the ability to track hours, minutes, and days. This movement has become an integral part of the Royal Oak line and is always impressive for its slim profile (just 3.05mm). Despite its thickness of only 8.1mm, the weight of the platinum is scarcely felt on the wrist.

Currently, Audemars Piguet has announced a retail price of $105,400 for this edition. However, due to its rarity and appeal, it will not be easy to obtain. As the new watch season begins, Audemars Piguet is sure to continue impressing with its creativity and sophistication at Le Brassus.
