 AUDEMARS PIGUET ROYAL OAK “MINI-JUMBO” MARK I REF. BA14332 – 36mm – 18K Yellow Gold – Grey Tritium Dial – Tapisserie – Box & Papers – 1986 – Rare Early Example

We are proud to offer this rare and collectible Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Mini-Jumbo”, reference BA14332, a vintage 36mm Mark I variant in solid 18k yellow gold with its original gold bracelet.

Introduced as a slightly more compact alternative to the original "Jumbo" ref. 5402, the reference 14332 retains all the hallmarks of Gérald Genta’s legendary 1972 Royal Oak design, including the iconic octagonal bezel (here a bid wider than in the ref 4100 , integrated bracelet, and ultra-thin case profile. Known among collectors as the “Mini-Jumbo,” the 36mm sizing offers perfect proportions for both vintage purists and modern collectors seeking refined wrist presence.

This particular Mark I example is fitted with a stunning grey “Petite Tapisserie” dial, featuring tritium hour markers and hands that have aged to a warm, even patina — a highly desirable detail among vintage enthusiasts. The dial remains clean and original, with the long “Swiss” signature and correct date window configuration for this early reference.

Crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, the case and bracelet remain in excellent vintage condition with well-preserved bevels, crisp edges, and minimal stretch. The watch is powered by the ultra-thin automatic Caliber 2125, based on the legendary Jaeger-LeCoultre 889, known for its precision and slim architecture.

This rare vintage Royal Oak is offered as a complete set, including:

Original Audemars Piguet box

Original warranty papers (dated 1986)

Original booklets and documents

Full matching set

With early gold Royal Oaks becoming increasingly difficult to source in this condition and configuration, this BA14332 represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a vintage Genta-era Royal Oak with full provenance — a timeless and important piece in the evolution of luxury sport watches.
