The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo 15202ST is the reference most collectors still picture when they think "steel Jumbo" — the 39mm Extra-Thin that carried Gérald Genta’s 1972 original almost unchanged. Audemars Piguet discontinued it in 2022, on the brand’s 150th anniversary, replacing it with the 16202ST. Its final retail price was about US$33,200; today, as a closed-production collectible, it trades at roughly £75,000–£110,000 for the blue dial. Here’s why it commands that, and what to watch for.

What the 15202ST is — and why it matters

The 15202 is the direct descendant of the original 5402 "Jumbo" of 1972: the same slim 39mm Extra-Thin case, the ultra-thin Calibre 2121 automatic, and the purity of proportion that defines the Royal Oak at its best. AP produced relatively few each year — estimates suggest fewer than 2,000 — and demand from serious collectors consistently exceeded supply. That combination of historical significance and genuine scarcity is why it is widely considered the most compelling long-term value in the entire family.

Secondary market price in 2026

As a discontinued reference, the 15202ST trades entirely on the secondary market: roughly £75,000–£110,000 for the blue dial, and around £70,000–£100,000 for grey-dial examples, in 2026. Unlike the 41mm line, whose premium contracted sharply after 2022, the Jumbo’s premium over its old retail has remained relatively stable — its value rests on scarcity and legacy, not the price of metal. Condition, dial colour, and full box and papers move the number materially, so confirm the live figure for the exact watch.

Nothing quite like the 15202 will be made again — which is exactly why the collectors who hold one rarely let go.

Where to buy a 15202ST

It only exists pre-owned now — through trusted secondary dealers, grey-market specialists and, for the best-documented examples, the major auction houses. Rather than check each in turn, search every verified Royal Oak source at once in our Watch Finder. Buying a six-figure discontinued piece is exactly where a second opinion pays for itself — our concierge will tell you whether a specific 15202 is fair value and properly documented before you commit.

How it compares

The 15202ST’s current-production successor, the 16202ST, trades slightly higher at £80,000–£130,000 (still orderable, still waitlisted). Both Jumbos sit far above the 41mm 15510ST Selfwinding (~£30,000–£38,000). For the full range side by side, see the Royal Oak Price Guide 2026; for how the Jumbo holds up as an investment against the other grails, our Patek vs Rolex analysis applies the same scarcity-and-liquidity logic.

The quick answers

What does the Royal Oak 15202ST cost in 2026?
As a discontinued reference, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo 15202ST trades only on the secondary market — roughly £75,000–£110,000 for the blue dial in 2026, and around £70,000–£100,000 for grey-dial examples. Its final retail price before discontinuation in 2022 was about US$33,200.
Why was the 15202ST discontinued?
Audemars Piguet discontinued the 15202ST in 2022, on the brand's 150th anniversary, replacing it with the 16202ST — which updates the same 39mm Extra-Thin Jumbo with the new Calibre 7121 and anniversary detailing. The 15202 now trades as a closed-production collectible.
Is the 15202ST a good investment?
It is widely considered the most compelling long-term value in the Royal Oak family: relatively few were made (estimates suggest fewer than 2,000 a year), it is the direct heir to the 1972 original, and its premium has held far more steadily than the 41mm references through 2026's market swings. As always, condition, dial and full papers determine whether a specific example is worth its number — this is general market commentary, not financial advice.
Blue dial or grey dial 15202ST — which is worth more?
The blue-dial 15202ST generally commands the higher premium (roughly £75,000–£110,000 in 2026) as the most iconic and sought-after configuration; grey-dial examples typically sit a little lower (around £70,000–£100,000). Condition and papers can outweigh dial colour on any individual watch.
