Audemars Piguet × Swatch Royal Pop Huit Blanc: Lépine in colour

Huit Blanc puts the Royal Pop idea on a white canvas. The model’s white tapisserie-effect dial is interrupted by multicoloured hour markers and eight differently coloured hexagonal screws around the octagonal bezel. Where many Royal Oak interpretations emphasise metallic reflections, this one uses colour as its signature. It is the collection’s most direct play on the number eight.

The 40 mm Bioceramic pocket watch has a crown at 12 o’clock, a two-hand display and a detachable calfskin lanyard. Inside, Swatch’s newly hand-wound SISTEM51 replaces the usual automatic format; the movement and its Pop Art decoration are visible through a sapphire caseback. Sapphire front glass, blue-emission Super-LumiNova and a modest 2-bar water-resistance rating complete the specification. The collaboration launched on 16 May 2026.
