Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin 50th Anniversary 39 Pink Gold Smoked Grey Dial 16202OR.OO.1240OR.01

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin 50th Anniversary 39 Pink Gold Smoked Grey Dial 16202OR.OO.1240OR.01 The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 16202OR.OO.1240OR.01 is a warm, luxurious interpretation of the 50th Anniversary “Jumbo.” While the steel version honors the 1972 original, this 18-carat pink gold model introduces a modern, high-contrast aesthetic by pairing the precious metal with a smoked grey dial. This specific reference is highly coveted for its “50 Years” anniversary rotor, which was exclusively available on watches produced in 2022. It captures a unique moment in history, marking the transition to the brand’s new ultra-thin movement while celebrating five decades of Gérald Genta’s iconic design. The 39 mm case is crafted from brushed and polished 18-carat Pink Gold and maintains the signature “Jumbo” thinness at just 8.1 mm. The dial features the “Petite Tapisserie” pattern with a “smoked” gradient effect—transitioning from a lighter grey in the center to a deep, dark grey at the periphery. This layout, combined with the pink gold markers and the AP logo at 6 o’clock, creates one of the most elegant and sought-after colorways in the contemporary Royal Oak lineup.. Key Features Model Name Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin (50th Anniv.)

Gradient Depth: The smoked effect (fumé) is achieved by applying a varnish that darkens toward the edges, emphasizing the geometric structure of the “Petite Tapisserie” guilloché. Warm Contrast: The pink gold case and bracelet provide a rich, warm frame for the cool grey dial tones, a combination that has become a hallmark of Audemars Piguet’s luxury-sports identity. Classic Proportions: By keeping the 39 mm diameter and the thin 8.1 mm profile, AP ensures that this gold watch retains the same silhouette as the original 1972 steel model. The movement is the Manufacture Calibre 7121. Modern Engineering: This caliber was developed specifically to fit within the “Jumbo” case while providing a more robust power reserve (55 hours) and higher frequency than the outgoing 2121. Anniversary Rotor: The oscillating weight is carved with the “50 Years” logo. This part was only installed in watches sold during the anniversary year (2022), making this specific reference a “locked” piece of history. The Quick-set Date: Owners no longer need to oscillate the time between 9 PM and 12 AM to change the date—the crown now features a standard quick-set position.
