Lot Essay

Five years after the first stainless steel Royal Oak reference 5402 was launched in 1972, Audemars Piguet introduced an all 18K gold Royal Oak, reference 5402BA and a two-tone stainless steel and 18K yellow gold reference 5402SA.
The Royal Oak 5402SA is in fact rarer and made in fewer examples than the much coveted steel 5402 ‘A Series’. Its design remained the same with slate grey dial and yellow gold hour markers during the entire period of production between 1977 and 1985. The watches of reference 5402SA were numbered 1 to 951 and in total 876 watches were sold.
