Reference 16202BA.HH.1241BA.01 takes the Royal Oak's architecture to an extraordinary level. The 39mm case is crafted from 18K yellow gold and set throughout with yellow sapphires, a treatment that extends seamlessly across the dial and the bracelet — totalling 1,528 brilliant-cut stones weighing approximately 10.41 carats in all. Of those, 138 appear on the case, 422 populate the dial, and 968 continue along the bracelet, creating an uninterrupted surface of gem-set radiance.
Inside, a selfwinding movement drives hours, minutes, and center seconds. The caliber comprises 268 parts and 33 jewels, oscillates at 4 Hz (28,800 vph), and delivers a 52-hour power reserve. At just 3.2mm thick, the movement sits unobtrusively within the case, while 18K yellow gold Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating maintain legibility against the sapphire-set dial. Water resistance is rated to 20 meters.
The 18K yellow gold bracelet closes with an AP folding clasp and carries the same dense gem-setting found on the case and dial, ensuring the watch reads as a single unified jewel from any angle. This example is offered with its original box and papers, making it a complete set for the serious collector.
