AUDEMARS PIGEUT ROYAL OAK Reference 15002BA - An Extremely Rare Icon, Accompanied by Box and Papers
We are delighted to present you this excellent and unpolished Royal oak in 18k yellow gold with its 18k yellow gold bracelet.
This 15002BA is presented with:
- the original box.
- warranty papers - Germany, BECKER, HAMBURG, April 1997.
- a 1 year warranty through our watch lab.
Produced in an extremely limited edition of just 23 examples in yellow gold, the 15002BA is one of the rarest Royal Oak references ever made.
Stylistically and technically, it pays direct homage to the original Royal Oak Ref. 5402 from the early 1970s—Gérald Genta’s groundbreaking design that revolutionized the luxury sports watch.
This reference shares numerous design elements with the original 5402, including the monobloc case construction with solid caseback and the iconic “tapisserie” dial. Notably, the bevelled bezel was adjusted slightly to a 45-degree angle—compared to 40 degrees on the 5402—while the applied AP logo and signature were executed in a more prominent size.
Produced between 1996 and 1998, a total of only 183 examples were made in stainless steel and a mere 23 in yellow gold, underscoring the extreme rarity and desirability of the present piece.
"As catalogued in PHILLIPS: The Royal Oak 50th Geneva Auction, May 6, 2022, Lot 82."
An enduring design icon from the hand of Gérald Genta, the Ref. 15002BA offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant and highly collectible example of Audemars Piguet’s legacy.
Do not miss this chance to own one of the rarest Royal Oak references ever produced.
