Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202ST.OO.1240ST.01

The case measures 39mm across and 8.1mm thick. Case material: Stainless steel. Case size alone is a poor guide to how a watch wears; lug-to-lug length and how the bracelet drops off the case matter more, which is why we suggest trying one on before you commit.

Automatic, AP Cal. 2121 (ultra-thin). Power reserve is 40 hours. It beats at 19,800 vph.

It is rated to 50 meters, about 164 feet. That covers brief swimming. It is not a dive watch. One caution that applies to every watch on this page: a water resistance figure describes a new watch with fresh gaskets. On a piece that is years past its last service, treat the rating as unknown until it has been pressure tested.

Audemars Piguet produced this reference from 2012 to 2022. Production years matter when you are valuing one, because dial, bezel and bracelet details often changed inside a single reference run.

15202 = 39mm Extra-Thin 'Jumbo'; ST = steel; 1240ST = steel bracelet;.01 = dial variant. Reading the reference is the fastest way to confirm that a watch is what the seller says it is, before you get anywhere near the movement.

"Jumbo" Extra-Thin, 39mm, closest to the 1972 original. Collector nicknames are not official Audemars Piguet names, but they are what people actually search for and what they are called across a showroom.
