Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding 15510ST
Known as Royal Oak Selfwinding 41 (50th Anniversary generation)
The 15510ST is the steel 41mm Royal Oak Selfwinding that AP launched in 2022 for the model's 50th anniversary. Full reference format is 15510ST.OO.1320ST plus a two-digit dial suffix, so a black dial is 15510ST.OO.1320ST.02, the 'Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50' blue is .06, the grey is .10, and so on. It is the direct successor to the 15500ST, which itself replaced the long-running 15400ST in 2019. The headline change on the 15510 is the dial: the Grande Tapisserie now runs edge to edge, the applied logo moved to a raised white gold plaque at 12, and the minute track sits on the sloped flange rather than the dial itself. Same 41mm steel case, same in-house caliber 4302, same integrated bracelet. What changed is the finishing and the proportion of the dial furniture, which is exactly the kind of detail Royal Oak buyers care about. Early anniversary pieces carry a dedicated caseback and a special rotor, and the reference has stayed in the catalog after the anniversary year with a standard rotor, so not every 15510 in the market is an anniversary piece. Know which one you are looking at before you talk price.
Produced: 2022 to present. Introduced in 2022 as the 50th anniversary update to the 15500ST. Anniversary-specific casebacks and rotors were tied to the 2022 to 2023 anniversary window; the reference continued afterward in standard configuration.

Market & Value
US retail is $31,900 for the steel 15510ST. It does not trade near retail. On the secondary market clean examples run well above sticker, with the model index sitting around the mid $40,000s and specific dials moving the number in either direction. Black and the 'Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50' blue tend to command the strongest money; silver-toned and grey sit lower in the range but still trade over retail. Condition and completeness swing the price hard: unpolished sharp-edged cases with full box and papers bring a premium, and confirmed 50th anniversary pieces with the engraved caseback and anniversary rotor carry their own following separate from later standard-rotor examples. This is a watch where the last two digits of the reference and the caseback detail are worth real dollars, so identify the exact variant before you quote anything.
What to Know Before You Buy
Three things separate a strong 15510 from a soft one. First, dial code. The suffix tells you black versus blue versus grey versus green versus silver, and those do not trade at the same price, so read the full reference off the papers and the caseback, not the listing title. Second, anniversary versus standard. 2022 to 2023 anniversary pieces have the engraved caseback and the special white gold rotor; later pieces have the standard rotor. Both are genuine 15510ST watches, but collectors price them differently, so confirm which rotor is under the sapphire. Third, case sharpness. The Royal Oak lives on its brushed and polished bevels, and a polished-out case loses the crisp facets that define the design. An unpolished case with factory edges is worth meaningfully more than a refinished one. Full set matters too: box, warranty card, and any extra links move the number. Caliber 4302 is a modern, reliable movement with a 70-hour reserve, so mechanically these are sound; the value conversation is almost entirely about variant, originality, and condition.
