About the Audemars Piguet Jumbo Extra Thin

The Audemars Piguet Jumbo Extra Thin is the 39mm, time-and-date Royal Oak that stays closest to the 1972 original. Collectors call it the "Jumbo" because 39mm was considered enormous when the watch launched. At WatchGuys, every pre-owned and unworn Jumbo is inspected by our watchmakers before it is listed, so you know exactly what you are buying. The design is simple: an 8.1mm case, an octagonal bezel with eight hexagonal screws, a tapered integrated bracelet, and a Petite Tapisserie dial with no seconds hand. Shop the full Audemars Piguet watches collection for every other AP line we carry.

Which Audemars Piguet Jumbo References Are Available?

Royal Oak Jumbo 15202ST. Produced from 2000 to 2021, the 15202 uses Calibre 2121, one of the thinnest automatic date movements ever made. It is the lowest-priced way to own a modern Jumbo, and its blue dial is the one most collectors picture when they think of the model.

Royal Oak Jumbo 16202ST. Introduced in 2022 for the Royal Oak's 50th anniversary, the 16202 keeps the same 39mm by 8.1mm case and adds Calibre 7121. The newer movement runs at 4Hz with roughly 55 hours of power reserve. It is the current steel Jumbo and the most requested reference in the line.

Gold, Platinum, and Titanium Jumbos. The 16202BA (yellow gold), 16202OR (rose gold), 16202PT (platinum), and 16202XT (titanium with a BMG bezel) bring different dial colors and weight to the same proportions. Browse gold Audemars Piguet watches for every precious metal Royal Oak in stock, or blue Audemars Piguet watches for the classic Jumbo dial alongside other blue AP models.

Openworked Jumbos. Audemars Piguet also makes Jumbo Extra Thin models with skeletonized movements. These appear in our skeleton Audemars Piguet collection when available.

Audemars Piguet Jumbo Extra Thin Price

Pre-owned Jumbo prices typically range from $55,000 to $150,000+. A steel 15202ST usually trades from about $55,000 to $70,000 depending on condition and papers. A steel 16202ST typically sits between $70,000 and $85,000, well above its boutique retail price because allocation is very limited. Yellow gold and rose gold models generally start around $90,000, and platinum and limited editions can pass $150,000. Unpolished cases, original bracelets, and complete box and papers add the most value.

AP Jumbo vs. Royal Oak 41mm Selfwinding

The Jumbo is thinner, has no seconds hand, and puts the date at 3 o'clock on a 39mm case. The 41mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding adds a seconds hand, a larger dial, and a thicker, sturdier case for daily wear, at roughly half the price. Buyers who want the original look choose the Jumbo. Buyers who want an everyday Royal Oak often choose the 41mm, or step up to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph.

AP Jumbo vs. Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711

Both were designed by Gerald Genta, both are thin steel sports watches on integrated bracelets, and both are hard to get at retail. The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 was discontinued in 2021 and typically costs more on the pre-owned market. The Jumbo is still in production and has a sharper, more angular case.

Common Questions

Audemars Piguet Jumbo FAQ

• What is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo?

  The Jumbo is the 39mm Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Extra Thin, a time-and-date model with no seconds hand. It is the direct descendant of the original 1972 Royal Oak designed by Gerald Genta.

• Why is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak called the Jumbo?

  When the Royal Oak launched in 1972, most dress watches measured 33mm to 36mm. At 39mm it looked oversized, so collectors nicknamed it the Jumbo, and the name stuck.

• What reference numbers are Audemars Piguet Jumbo watches?

  The original is the 5402. Later references include the 14802, the 15202 (2000 to 2021), and the current 16202. Letter suffixes show the metal: ST for steel, BA for yellow gold, OR for rose gold, PT for platinum, and XT for titanium.

• How much is an Audemars Piguet Jumbo Extra Thin today?

  Pre-owned Jumbos typically range from $55,000 for a steel 15202 to $150,000+ for platinum and limited editions. A steel 16202 usually sells between $70,000 and $85,000.

• Does the Audemars Piguet Jumbo hold its value?

  The steel Jumbo is one of the strongest Audemars Piguet models on the secondary market and typically trades well above retail. Gold and platinum versions fluctuate more. Unpolished examples with full box and papers hold value best.

• Can you wear an Audemars Piguet Jumbo every day?

  Yes, with some care. The Jumbo is rated to 50m, but its thin case and polished bevels show scratches and dents more easily than a thicker sports watch. Many owners wear it daily and skip impact sports and swimming.

• Is the Audemars Piguet Jumbo better than the Patek Philippe Nautilus?

  Neither is objectively better. The Jumbo has a sharper, more angular case and is still in production. The Nautilus 5711 has a rounder, more relaxed shape, was discontinued in 2021, and usually costs more pre-owned.
