Audemars Piguet celebrates anniversary with pricey collector’s watches
Watchmaker Audemars Piguet comes with new expensive collector’s watches to celebrate an anniversary.
Last week, the highly anticipated special watches from Jubilee Royal Oak were launched. And according to the experts, they live up to expectations. It is a bit of a trend in the watch world to make anniversary editions. And not so little. Almost every brand has introduced several of these watches in recent years.
Audemars Piguet collector’s watches
Audemars Piguet’s celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak is different. The Royal Oak is one of the three most sought-after watches in the world. Besides the Rolex Daytona and the Patek Philippe Nautilus. Like the Royal Oak, the latter was designed by the maestro of all watch designers, Gerald Genta). Audemars Piguet’s take on the Jubilee Edition is a range of new models that will remain in the permanent collection beyond 2022, differentiated only by swapping this year’s 50th anniversary commemorative rotors for regular ones.
Update
The watches are all getting an update. The Royal Oak Ref. 15202 “Jumbo” Extra-Thin gets the biggest update. With a new movement, the automatic caliber 7121, with hour, minute and date. It is newly equipped with a fast date corrector and a longer power reserve (55 hours). The four-model range is available in steel, platinum, 18k pink gold or 18k yellow gold.
In addition, the Jumbo Extra Thin Openwork model, Ref 16204, caliber 7124, is new. It comes in steel ($90,400) or 18k rose gold (price on request). You already know it because it says ‘price on request’. It is very expensive. For the other variants, go to the watchmaker’s website. Bring a fat bank account.
