Review of AP’S Royal Oak New Model

Let’s get started right away: The new Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin 15202BC feathers an unique “salmon dial,” and that is not officially named. Look at the renderings provided by Audemars Piguet, and you can see that the dial is tend to be brownish or pink gold color. AP’s official description of the dial is “pink gold-tone dial.” Of course, it’s no problem to call it salmon, but what the exact meaning of it?
The replica watch has a 39mm warm gold dial with white gold indicators and hands. Using Audemars Piguet’s 2121 automatic movement, the 15202BC ticks at 19,900 vph, has a 40-hour power reserve and is only 8mm in thickness. I had seen the 15202BC in person and wrote a introduction about it. I still stick to my assertion that precious metal Royal Oaks were very impressive, and this one is not an exception.
In my opinion, this new watch is salmon-like, if you compare its color to an example like the 25820PT, I think you’ll get where my opinion is coming from. To make comparison, I’ve included a shot of our own fearless leader’s 25820PT below. The date window is more pink in color that this gold-tone example of Audemars Piguet replica the “Petite Tapisserie” dial. 
While I think it’s reasonable to say that the color difference is not so large, the 15202BC is obviously more brownish than pink. Brief history lesson aside, the new watch is limited to just 75 pieces, so SIHH is possible the only chance that I’ll ever have one on wrist. As you can imagine, I made the most of the opportunity.
The 39mm size is just perfect and, as I wrote in the introduction, there is something really impressive about the weight and feel of a precious metal Royal Oak. While I may sing the praises of a full gold version, there is something undeniably striking and exquisite about the combination of this gold-tone dial and white gold case. It feels good and looks great.
The replica watches not only proves the high technique of Audemars Piguet’s, but it’s also basically just a color variation of an existing model. Nevertheless, it is an impressive collectible boutique-only limited edition that is going to be almost impossible to purchase on market. With only 75 units distributed to 50 or so boutiques that Audemars Piguet operates around the world, most boutiques will only have one piece, it means that you had better be their best client if you want to buy it. Priced at 55,400 USD, it’s exquisite, thin, and all about the wrist presence, so if you’re expecting to build some annual interest in an aesthetic that remains mostly unchanged after nearly 50 years, this is a good format that I can imagine.
