What to know
Otto Rosso translates the Royal Oak’s geometry into a high-contrast pink-and-red object. Its pink, tapisserie-effect dial sits within a cherry-red Bioceramic bezel, with coordinating crown and pink hexagonal fasteners. The vertical satin treatment adds a familiar Royal Oak surface cue, but the colour moves this pocket watch firmly into Swatch territory.
This 40 mm Lépine model puts the winding crown at 12 o’clock and shows hours and minutes without a central seconds hand. A detachable pink calfskin lanyard with contrasting red stitching gives the modular watch its wearing system. The new hand-wound SISTEM51 sits behind a transparent sapphire caseback decorated with Pop Art graphics. The dial uses luminous hands and markers, while water resistance is rated at 2 bar. The Royal Pop series went on sale from 16 May 2026.
