It was first introduced in steel and yellow gold cases in 2000, while retaining the 39mm case of the original “Jumbo” as well as the automatic caliber 2121, modernized with a more contemporary aesthetic featuring a "Grande Tapisserie" dial and sapphire caseback. The "IP" - as the present watch is nicknamed by collectors (as a reference to the last two letters of its reference number meaning titanium and platinum) - represents the continuation, or according to some collectors, the pinnacle, of this path. In its case, the collector finds the mix - as idiosyncratic as it is potent - of two opposing metals: ultra-light and technical titanium for the case and bracelet links and heavy and luxurious platinum for the bezel and central links. It is incredible how these two polar opposite metals manage to perfectly blend together for a supremely attractive final result. The degradé ultramarine blue dial also represents a new tier of experimentation for the 15202 model, noticeably - but still discreetly - stepping away from the usual monochrome dark dials. Also in this case, the outcome packs an incredibly powerful aesthetic punch. This timepiece has an unrestrained beauty and desirability, and its 250-piece limited production propelled collectors to the highest level of frustration: only the brand’s most important collectors were able to call one of these watches their own.
