This example will enchant its new owner with its excellent original condition. The Royal Oak "Jubilee" reference 14802ST by Audemars Piguet was launched in 1992 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak reference 5402ST. The watch was produced in a limited series of 1,000 examples only, with around 280 pieces in 18 K yellow gold, 20 in platinum and 700 in stainless steel - of those, approximately 200 - 300 featured a salmon-coloured dial. With an attractive slim case and a size of only 39 mm, the reference 14802 remains true to its predecessor. The main difference is the sapphire crystal case back, which reveals the movement and shows the specially designed 21-carat gold rotor in the form of three intertwined Royal Oak bezels with the hexagonal bolts.
