Lets face it

The Royal Oak jumbo is a design icon. Thank you Mr Genta and thank you Audemars Piguet. From bracelet to bezel to dial to movement it's perfection

Very nice 15300! There are a few stylistic (and substantive movements and other) differences between it and the jumbo though, but both (along with the 15400 and 15305) are fabulous in my book.

I just noticed that you reference the Jumbo, but your picture is of a 15300...

I still agree though that it's hard to beat the RO design - in all variations.

That's true and with the new ultra-thin release there is a clear distinction between the two, but before that the old 15202 and 300 looked fairly similar and neither much like the original so were often both lazily called Jumbos, so the basic design aesthetic is the same.

Yes, the RO is a classic.
Took me a while to appreciate it, but it is certainly an icon.

At 39mm ( although slightly thicker) the 15300 is still the same size as the original 5402 and 15202 so still a Jumbo case
