About Blue Audemars Piguet Watches

Blue is the signature dial color of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. The original 1972 Royal Oak 5402, designed by Gerald Genta, debuted with a deep blue tapisserie dial that defined the luxury sports watch category, and AP has continued the tradition through every modern generation under the proprietary "Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50" colorway. Our pre-owned and unworn blue Audemars Piguet collection at WatchGuys spans the iconic Royal Oak Jumbo 15202 and 16202, the bestselling 15400, 15500, and 15510 Selfwinding 41mm references, the popular blue Royal Oak Chronograph 26240, and the rugged blue Royal Oak Offshore. Every blue AP we carry is fully authenticated and ready for overnight delivery.

Which Audemars Piguet Models Come With a Blue Dial?

The blue dial is most iconic on the Royal Oak Jumbo, currently the 39mm 16202 and the discontinued Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202, both fitted with the Jumbo-exclusive "Petite Tapisserie" pattern. On the 41mm Selfwinding side, the bestselling Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400, its successor the Royal Oak 15500, and the current Royal Oak 15510 all came with blue "Grande Tapisserie" dials as core production options. The 37mm Royal Oak 15450 also offers a blue dial. Chronograph buyers should look at the Royal Oak Chronograph 26240, where blue is the most popular configuration, and its predecessor the Royal Oak Chronograph 26331. On the sportier side, the Royal Oak Offshore 15710 and Offshore Diver 15720 come with bold blue "Mega Tapisserie" dials. The openworked Royal Oak 15407 Double Balance Wheel is also available with the Bleu Nuit ceramic configuration.

Blue Audemars Piguet Price

Pre-owned blue Audemars Piguet pricing depends on reference, case material, and condition. Steel time-only Royal Oaks with a blue dial generally trade between $40,000 and $55,000, with the current 15510ST sitting around $40,000 to $50,000. The discontinued blue 15202ST Jumbo trades between $45,000 and $65,000, while the current 16202ST 50th Anniversary in steel commands $70,000 to $90,000 thanks to long boutique waitlists. Blue Royal Oak Chronograph 26240ST references trade between $45,000 and $60,000, and blue Royal Oak Offshore 15710 and 15720 sit in the $25,000 to $40,000 range in steel. Yellow gold, rose gold, and white gold variants add meaningful premiums across every reference. For broader collection pricing, see our Audemars Piguet watches page.

Blue Royal Oak Jumbo vs. Blue Royal Oak Selfwinding

Buyers shopping a blue Royal Oak typically choose between the 39mm Jumbo (15202 and 16202) and the 41mm Selfwinding (15400, 15500, 15510). The blue Jumbo carries the heritage, the slimmer 8.1mm profile, and the Petite Tapisserie pattern unique to the Jumbo line. The blue Selfwinding offers a bolder wrist presence, a central seconds hand, and a longer 70-hour power reserve at a meaningfully lower entry price.

Common Questions

Blue Audemars Piguet FAQ

• Which Audemars Piguet Models Have a Blue Dial?

  The Royal Oak Jumbo 15202 and current 16202 carry the blue "Petite Tapisserie" dial. The 41mm Selfwinding 15400, 15500, 15510, and 37mm 15450 all came in blue "Grande Tapisserie." The chronograph 26331 and current 26240 are widely available in blue. The Royal Oak Offshore 15710 and Offshore Diver 15720 carry the bolder blue "Mega Tapisserie." Blue ceramic models like the 15416CD also exist in limited runs.

• What Is the Most Popular Blue Audemars Piguet?

  The current Royal Oak Jumbo 16202ST 50th Anniversary in steel with the blue "Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50" Petite Tapisserie dial is the most in-demand blue AP today. The 15510ST and the discontinued 15400ST and 15500ST Selfwinding 41mm references with blue Grande Tapisserie dials follow closely, along with the blue 26240ST Chronograph.

• What Is "Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50"?

  "Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50" is the proprietary name Audemars Piguet gives to the deep navy blue used on its modern Royal Oak Jumbo 16202 and several other anniversary references. It directly references the dial color of the original 1972 Royal Oak 5402, and the "50" in the name marks the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak in 2022.

• Is a Blue Audemars Piguet a Good Investment?

  Blue AP references show some of the strongest long-term value retention in luxury sports watches. The discontinued 15202ST has appreciated steadily since production ended in 2022, and the current 16202ST trades at significant premiums to retail. Condition, completeness of box and papers, and recent service history all materially affect resale value.

• How Much Does a Blue Audemars Piguet Cost?

  Pre-owned blue AP pricing typically ranges from around $40,000 for an entry-level steel Royal Oak Selfwinding with a blue dial, up to $90,000 or more for the steel 16202ST Jumbo 50th Anniversary. Most blue 41mm Selfwinding references trade between $40,000 and $55,000. Blue chronographs trade between $45,000 and $60,000 in steel. Gold variants command meaningful premiums.

• What Is the Difference Between the Blue 15202 and 16202?

  The 15202 is the previous-generation 39mm Royal Oak Jumbo, powered by the Caliber 2121, produced through 2022. The 16202 is its successor, launched for the Royal Oak's 50th anniversary, powered by the new in-house Caliber 7121 with a longer 55-hour power reserve and quick-set date. Both share the iconic blue Petite Tapisserie dial and 8.1mm-thin case profile.
