Audemars Piguet × Swatch Royal Pop Blaue Acht: Lépine in colour

Blaue Acht mixes a lime-green tapisserie-effect dial with a light-blue Bioceramic octagonal bezel and crown. Eight lime-green hexagonal screws continue the two-colour conversation around the perimeter. The 40 mm case keeps the Royal Oak’s recognizable outline but gives it an unexpectedly light, springlike palette.

As one of the six Lépine executions, Blaue Acht has a winding crown at 12 o’clock and displays only hours and minutes. The watch hangs from a lime-green calfskin lanyard with blue stitching through a detachable Bioceramic holder. Its new hand-wound SISTEM51 has a Pop Art-decorated movement visible through the sapphire caseback; the dial side is also protected by sapphire. Swatch rates the pocket watch for 2-bar water resistance. It launched with the wider collection on 16 May 2026.
