Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 16202BA.OO.1240BA.01

The case measures 39mm across and 8.1mm thick. Case material: Yellow gold. 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, Caliber 7121. Power reserve is 55 hours. It beats at 28,800 vph. The movement uses 33 jewels.

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.

Royal Oak 'Jumbo' Extra-Thin. Collector nicknames are not official Audemars Piguet names, but they are what people actually search for and what they are called across a showroom.
