Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 16202BA.HH.1241BA.01 'Jumbo' Extra-Thin Yellow Gold Yellow Sapphire Dial (2026)

The 16202 is the current generation of the extra-thin Jumbo, the reference closest to the original 5402 of 1972, and Audemars Piguet treats it as the collection's reference point rather than as one model among many. Setting it entirely with brilliant-cut yellow sapphires is therefore a deliberate provocation: yellow sapphire is not a stone the brand uses often, and applying it to the most historically loaded case in the catalogue puts colour where purists expect restraint.

The yellow gold case measures 39 mm, the Jumbo proportion, and remains extra-thin despite the setting. The yellow gold dial is set with brilliant-cut yellow sapphires and carries yellow gold applied hour-markers. The yellow gold bracelet is set to match and fitted with an AP folding clasp, tapering into the case in the original integrated design. Yellow sapphire is also considerably harder than gold, so setting it into a case that must remain extra-thin leaves very little material around each stone, and the tolerance for error is correspondingly small.
