To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the launch of the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet released the Royal Oak Jubilee reference as a limited edition in 1992. Only 1,000 pieces were made in total, including different case metals and dial configurations. There were 700 produced in stainless steel, 280 made in yellow gold, and the remaining 20 in platinum. Of the 700 pieces made in stainless steel, the majority were equipped with a cobalt blue dial, like this example.
The reference 14802 stays true to its predecessor with an attractive slim case and size of only 39 mm. Its main difference is the sapphire crystal display back enabling the wearer to gaze into the movement and admire the specially designed 21k gold rotor featuring various design elements from Gérald Genta including the iconic octagonal bezel of the Royal Oak as well as the hexagonal bolts used to secure the bezel to the case.
This model comes with the some factory pink stickers still attached to the inside of the band. It is a pristine example with slight handling marks but looks to be never worn before. We are pleased to offer this piece fresh to the market from an important private collector.
