Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin 16202PT.OO.1240PT.01 – Platinum Prestige in Green
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Ref. 16202PT.OO.1240PT.01 is a landmark timepiece that combines platinum craftsmanship with modern mechanical innovation and iconic design. Released as part of the 50th Anniversary Royal Oak collection, this platinum “Jumbo” retains the classic proportions while introducing entirely new elements that appeal to collectors and connoisseurs alike.
Case
Material
This model comes in a full 950 platinum case and integrated bracelet, offering substantial weight, luxurious sheen, and rarity. The case measures 39 mm in diameter and is remarkably slim—only 8.1 mm thick, preserving the legendary thin profile that defines the “Jumbo” lineage. Sapphire crystals on both the front and back deliver protection and a clear view into the movement.
Dial
Aesthetic Details
At the heart of this edition is its smoked green sunburst dial, delivering depth and evolving shades under varying light. The dial departs from the traditional “Tapisserie” pattern, instead presenting a smooth sunburst finish that enhances its contemporary aesthetic. Applied white-gold hour markers and Royal Oak hands, filled with luminescent material, ensure excellent readability while providing elegant contrast against the green backdrop. A discreet date window sits at 3 o’clock.
Movement
Technical Innovation
Powering the 16202PT is the in-house Caliber 7121, a newly developed automatic movement that marks a generational shift for the Royal Oak “Jumbo.” Measuring 3.2 mm in thickness and operating at 4 Hz, it delivers a 55-hour power reserve, improving on past generations with modern performance. Key upgrades include a quick-set date mechanism, letting the wearer adjust the date independently without altering the hour hand—a practical enhancement long desired by collectors. The movement is beautifully decorated, visible through the sapphire case back, and mounted to a special “50 Years” platinum rotor echoing the case material.
Bracelet
Wearability
The integrated platinum bracelet maintains the Royal Oak’s signature continuity, blending polished and satin finishes. The clasp is an AP folding closure within the same precious metal, offering both security and seamless style. Because of its platinum build, the 16202PT has a notably higher density and presence on the wrist—giving it a satisfying heft while remaining balanced.

Why This Edition Stands Out
The 16202PT edition is more than a mere variant—it is the platinum icon of the new Royal Oak generation. By preserving the celebrated “Jumbo” dimensions and proportions while introducing a fresh movement, upgraded date function, and a striking dial, it stands as both an homage and evolution. Its platinum execution makes it exclusive and desirable, offered only through AP Houses, further elevating its collectibility. This reference is designed for those who demand timeless design, impeccable engineering, and maximum prestige in a single chronometric masterwork.
