Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin
seduced the jury thanks to its timeless design form with its slender 39mm 950 platinum case and smoked green sunburst dial. Audemars Piguet first employed colourful stone dials during the 1970s, in brown, green and blue tones. 
 
Audemars Piguet is honoured and humbled to once again be acknowledged by the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève and would like to thank its team, its suppliers, as well as the organisers and all the jury members for their time, passion and attention to detail that makes this industry shine so bright.

This paved the way for a new generation of lively and expressive dials in the 1990s, which have permeated the Manufacture’s collections ever since and make this new model particularly iconic. The sapphire caseback showcases the refined decorations and 22-carat gold oscillating weight of the historic selfwinding Calibre 2121, first introduced on the Royal Oak in 1972,

fascinated by Swiss fine watchmaking around the world so
let’s make them dream with our craft. The best is yet to
come.”
