Peak Hype: It's an amazing coincidence that the Royal Oak just so happened to celebrate its 50th anniversary the same link year the watch link market exploded. Although the announcement in March 2021 that the Royal Oak 15202 "Jumbo" would be discontinued definitely sparked interest in the reference – as did the release of the new-gen 16202 "Jumbo" in January 2022 – I link personally feel like the true peak of the market occurred alongside this spring's auction calendar.

Overall, the Majetek has a very rugged and toolish charm to link it but feels very modern despite the faux patina.
