Notes

The 5402 is the first reference ever produced of the iconic Royal Oak designed by Gerald Genta. Featuring an ultra thin Jumbo case in 18kt yellow gold with automatic movement, this model in gold is a real rarity produced in a few hundred pieces only. The watch is in excellent condition with a full case with sharp edges, well preserved bracelet, perfect bezel. The dial is also absolutely intact and without any defects and is still fitted with the original dial with the AP logo at 6 o’clock meaning that the present watch is part of the first batch ever produced in 18K yellow gold.

Provenance

Property of a Swiss Gentleman
