This watch was released as a limited edition, with 700 in steel, 280 in yellow gold, and 20 in platinum. Another "Jumbo" model, Ref. 15002, was produced throughout the 1990s without the display caseback.
And this is what I found about the 15002:

While not much has been written about the 15002, research indicates that AP made an edition of less than 200 of this model, making this one of the rarest of the Royal Oak models. It of course utilizes the stellar 2121 calibre and has the very nice Clous de Paris dial in dark blue. Like the original model 5402, this has a closed back. One of the unique features of the 15002 is that the case has an opening where the stem enters the case which enables the movement to be removed from the case with the stem still attached, the only Royal Oak Jumbo model with this feature.
Wow that’s so interesting. I love diving deep into rare AP models :)
