With an octagonal case measuring 39mm. it is equipped with the caliber 2121 and has a pretty gold embossed dial, with the date at 3.
Like its ancestor, the reference 5402, created in 1972, it does not have a sapphire case back. According to information from the Audemars Piguet Heritage, only 27 pieces in yellow gold would have been produced from 1996 to 1998 and 186 pieces in steel would have been produced from 1996 to 1997.
Manufactured in approximately 200 pieces, all materials combined, the reference 15002 is one of the rarest of the Royal Oak.
Only one model (number 15) in yellow gold was auctioned in 2015.
This present example is conserved in excellent condition and is accompanied with its box and its Extract from the Archives.
