First impressions of the AP x Swatch, side by side with the real Royal Oak. We love it. Genuinely.
Over 12,000 of you have already signed up for our adapter waitlist. That’s wild, and we don’t take it lightly. Three factories on standby, working in parallel on both crown at 12 and crown at 3. As soon as the watch is in our hands, we lock in the final fit.

@audemarspiguet x @swatch unboxing 🔥 Would you keep it or sell it? And how much is this watch going for on resale in your country?
“I work all night, I work all day…” - literally me trying to get this collaboration 😂 After the craziest queue, no sleep, rain, and pure chaos… here it is!

AP and Swatch just made a Royal Oak where you can pop the face off.
The name finally makes sense.
Royal Pop. Bioceramic case. Tapisserie dial. 7 colourways.
Which face are you wearing first? 🎨

Nessuna AI: abbiamo avuto una preview dei nuovi Swatch x Audemars Piguet Royal Pop, e sì, sono fighissimi.
I social sono esplosi con render di cinturini aftermarket, per convertirlo a orologio da polso, ma vale la pena ricordare che il concept del Pop è proprio quello di un orologio trasformabile, che passa dal collo al polso, fino a diventare un orologio da tavolo.
Non abbiamo certezze, ma l’impressione è che questa collaborazione abbia ancora qualcosa da dire.
Nel frattempo, non ci resta che aspettare il 16. Tu ne prenderai uno? Se si, quale?

No AI: we’ve had a sneak peek at the new Swatch x Audemars Piguet Royal Pop, and yes, they’re absolutely brilliant.
Social media has been flooded with renderings of aftermarket straps to convert it into a wristwatch, but it’s worth remembering that the Pop’s concept is precisely that of a transformable watch, which moves from the neck to the wrist, and can even become a table clock.
We can’t say for sure, but the impression is that this collaboration still has more to offer.
In the meantime, all we can do is wait until the 16th. Will you be getting one? If so, which one?

What yall think of the AP x Swatch Collab? 👀⏰
The AP and Swatch collaboration, officially dubbed the “Royal Pop,” is one of the most highly anticipated releases in the watch industry. Merging AP’s iconic luxury aesthetic with Swatch’s accessible and playful style, it represents a historic cross-group partnership.
Release Date: The “Royal Pop” will launch on May 16, 2026.Estimated Price: Expected to fall within the accessible $300 to $500 range, much like previous mega-collabs.The Design: While many expect a BioCeramic take on the classic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, teaser campaigns have hinted at unique variations, leading to debates among collectors on whether it will be a traditional wristwatch, a pocket watch, or something with interchangeable elements.

@swatch x @audemarspiguet vont collaborer ?
Depuis quelques jours, les rumeurs autour d’un potentiel partenariat entre Swatch et Audemars Piguet prennent de plus en plus d’ampleur dans le monde de l’horlogerie.
Après le succès mondial des collaborations entre Swatch et Omega ou encore Blancpain, beaucoup imaginent désormais une version plus accessible inspirée de la mythique Royal Oak.
Pour l’instant, aucune annonce officielle n’a été confirmée, mais plusieurs indices et discussions sur les réseaux sociaux alimentent les spéculations autour d’un projet surnommé “Royal Pop”. Malgré le fait que Swatch présente sur ses réseaux un teaser, rien ne confirme que c'est en lien avec Audemars Piguet... mais la communauté est sur de cela.
Une chose est sûre : si cette collaboration voit réellement le jour, elle pourrait devenir l’un des lancements horlogers les plus marquants de ces prochaines années. Entre design iconique, approche pop et accessibilité, l’idée d’une Royal Oak revisitée par Swatch fait déjà énormément parler.

We were invited to Swatch HQ for the unveiling of the @audemarspiguet x @swatch Royal Pop collection.
The watches arrive in 8 distinct colorways and are a tribute to the iconic 1972 Royal Oak’s octagonal bezel and 8 screws. A new hand-wound SISTEM51 movement boasts a massive 90-hour power reserve, and is visible through a sapphire caseback.
AP has committed 100% of their proceeds to fund initiatives to preserve rare watchmaking skills and foster young horological talent.
Royal Pop will start selling at select Swatch stores globally from this Saturday, May 16. It is an in-store-only release, similar to the MoonSwatch and Scuba Fifty Fathoms, and is strictly limited to 1 watch per person, per day. Price: 350–375 CHF
