Audemars Piguet Chronographe Royal Oak Tour Auto 2012 watch sports historic car racing details a century in the making. Audemars Piguet is no stranger to watch design or its historical significance.

Audemars Piguet has been both an official sponsor and “official timekeeper” of the annual French Tour Auto Optic 2000 car race for the past six years. To commemorate this auspicious car race this year Audemars Piguet has designed a sporty Chronographe Royal Oak Tour Auto 2012 limited edition watch which has captured the spirit of the century old Tour de France sports car race sporting the French national colors of blue, white and red.

Audemars Piguet’s first special edition of the Chronograph Royal Oak Tour Auto 2009 limited model had a titanium bezel. This year’s model features an impressive stainless steel body with Audemars Piguets’ signature octagonal bezel and blue crocodile leather hand-sewn strap with high-contrast red stitching which complements the colors of the watch’s dial.

Audemars Piguet Chronographe Royal Oak Tour Auto 2012 features a bold stainless steel case with a scratch resistant black ceramic bezel. It sports a signature “Méga Tapisserie” motif dial, with two blue sub-dials: 30 minutes counter located at 9 o’clock and 12 hours counter located at 6 o’clock. The seconds sub-dial at 12 o’clock is white. The dial design displays blue Arabic numerals with luminescent coating and white gold Royal Oak hands filled with red luminescent coating. It also features the same rubber-clad chronograph push-pieces and setting crown. The inside white bezel ring displays an inscribed tachymeter scale. Located at 3 o’clock is a round date aperture.

Chronographe Royal Oak Tour Auto 2012 is powered by an in-house Calibre 3126/3840 self-winding movement which has an impressive power reserve of up to 60 hours, with frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour.

The caseback bears the Tour Auto logo inscription, the Royal Oak Offshore logo and the “Edition limitée” inscription. The watch has a sapphire-crystal coating and it is water-resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet). Each Chronographe Royal Oak Offshore Tour Auto 2012 comes in a specially created presentation box and it is a limited edition of 150 pieces.

I though that our previous articles (part 1 and part 2) about the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202 (Jumbo) versus 15300 were quite explanatory, but it seems that I might be wrong about that. It also might have to do with the fact that AP recently introduced the new version of the 15202 (click here) with some minor changes in the design that revert to the original 5402 of the 1970s.

The author’s 15202.

Furthermore, a successor for the 15300 has been announced already as well, same goes for the Royal Oak Chronograph edition (26300 becomes 26320). In these cases, the case diameter grew from 39mm to 41mm and the wording on the dial has been blown up as well. Not sure whether this is something I like.

Anyway, let’s keep it at 15300 versus 15202. The picture above clearly shows the 15202, former edition, with framed date aperture, AP logo at 12 o’clock and Arabic numerals for the minute markers. This is the version that is still relatively easy to get, where the models before the 15202 and the successor of the pictured 15202 are either hard to get or very expensive. Or just both. The version above will set you back approximately 9500 EUR. The 15300 can be had for less, starting at approximately 6800 EUR (used Chrono24.com to do a price look-up).

The author’s 15300.

Our friends at The Prodigal Guide did an interesting write-up. Both editors of The Prodigal Guide are planning to purchase either a 15202, 15300 or 26120 (Dual Time) in the next 12 months. We’ve have to talk them out of the Dual Time of course, and narrow their short-list down to the Jumbo and the 15300. Give them a helping hand by replying to their article ‘A tale of three Royal Oaks: the Audemars Piguet challenge‘.
