Where to Buy: Audemars Piguet x Swatch Royal Pop Collab

Per the official announcement, the collection features “eight unique pocket watches made for endless creative styling,” combining Audemars Piguet’s iconic Royal Oak design language with Swatch’s playful 1980s-era POP watches. The project also introduces a world-first hand-wound version of Swatch’s SISTEM51 movement, finished with colorful Pop Art-inspired detailing.

All eight colorways of the Audemars Piguet x Swatch “Royal Pop” collection have officially surfaced ahead of the collaboration’s May 16 release. Inspired by Swatch’s playful 1980s POP watches and Audemars Piguet’s iconic Royal Oak design language, the collection arrives in a wide range of vibrant color combinations, including Otto Rosso, Huit Blanc, Green Eight, Blaue Acht, Orenji Hachi, Lan Ba, Ocho Negro, and Otg Roz. Pricing is set at $400 for the Lépine models and $420 for the Savonnette versions.

The collection will release in both Lépine and Savonnette styles beginning May 16 at select Swatch locations worldwide.

Original article: Swatch’s next major collaboration has officially been confirmed, with the brand set to launch the Audemars Piguet x Swatch “Royal Pop” collection on May 16.

While the release itself has now been locked in, details surrounding the collection remain tightly under wraps, with neither Swatch nor Audemars Piguet officially unveiling the watches at the time of writing. Despite that, anticipation is already building rapidly online, especially given the project’s rumored connection to Audemars Piguet’s iconic Royal Oak design language.

Reports currently suggest the collection will retail for under $500, continuing Swatch’s recent strategy of delivering accessible takes on luxury-inspired watchmaking following its blockbuster Omega and Blancpain collaborations. Like those releases, the Audemars Piguet x Swatch “Royal Pop” launch is expected to arrive via select locations across the United States.
