Nicknamed “Jumbo” for its daring size at launch, the 39mm case was once considered oversized in a world of restrained dress watches. That original provocation remains intact through its ultra-thin profile and iconic blue Tapisserie dial, preserving Gérald Genta’s vision with remarkable clarity and restraint.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Featuring the iconic blue Tapisserie dial, the surface plays effortlessly with light as the petite grid pattern adds depth and refinement without visual weight. Showcasing the ultra-thin stainless steel case, the sharp octagonal bezel and polished chamfers highlight Audemars Piguet’s hand-finished geometry and unmistakable silhouette. Completing the composition, the integrated steel bracelet tapers fluidly along the wrist, its brushed and polished links reinforcing the Royal Oak’s seamless, architectural design.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, and date. The push-pull crown on the right side of the case sets the time and quick-adjusts the date when pulled out. Super-LumiNova applied to the hour and minute hands, along with select indices, ensures optimal legibility in low-light conditions while maintaining the dial’s refined elegance.
Comes as a full set, double-boxed with a watch pillow, warranty certification and register certificate booklet.
Quietly confident and endlessly refined, the “Jumbo” rewards those who understand proportion, history, and restraint over spectacle. As a discontinued chapter tied directly to Gérald Genta’s original vision, it stands as a lasting symbol of taste that never needs to announce itself.
