Audemars Piguet 16202 FAQ

What is the difference between the Royal Oak 16202 and the 15202?

The movement. The 15202 ran on calibre 2121, which had powered the Royal Oak «Jumbo» since 1972; the 16202 replaced it in 2022 with the in-house calibre 7121, a 3.2 mm self-winding movement with a 55-hour power reserve and a quick-set date. The 39 mm case, the extra-thin profile and the integrated bracelet carried over unchanged.

What do the letters in a 16202 reference number mean?

The first pair after 16202 is the case metal — ST for stainless steel, BA yellow gold, BC white gold, OR rose gold, PT platinum, XT titanium. The second pair is the execution: OO is the standard finish, HH the “Frosted” hammered gold, ZZ a diamond-set case and bracelet. The four digits that follow identify the bracelet, and the final two digits identify the dial variant.

Which 16202 references are 50th Anniversary editions?

Three of the references in this collection are the 2022 50th Anniversary models: 16202BA.OO.1240BA.01 in yellow gold, 16202OR.OO.1240OR.01 in rose gold and 16202PT.OO.1240PT.01 in platinum. The standard-production references that followed them carry the .02 suffix instead.

How much does an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 16202 cost?

It depends far more on the metal than on the condition. Steel and titanium sit at the bottom of the range, standard gold in the middle, and the Frosted and diamond-set executions well above them. The live range across the references we currently hold is shown in the price section above; pieces listed as price on request are available by enquiry.
