In 1996, Audemars Piguet found itself with a reserve of 350 Calibre 2121 ébauches, prompting the decision to case them up. That same year, the brand launched Model 15002, though production was highly limited. Out of the 14,000 watches planned for 1996, only 100 were Royal Oak "Jumbo" models. This exclusivity continued, with only 174 of these watches produced in steel and 12 in yellow gold over the next three years.
