For me, the Royal Oak was the unofficial uniform of Wimbledon 2026. Audemars Piguet appeared on more than 4 in 10 wrists, spanning 6 different Royal Oak families, from a 23mm Frosted Gold Mini to a platinum openworked perpetual calendar. If the 2010s were Rolex’s decade at SW19, the mid-2020s clearly belong to AP.

The singer chose the 23mm Royal Oak Mini Frosted Gold (reference 67630BA.GG.1312BA.01). It is a beautiful watch thanks to its yellow-gold case hammered with Florentine frosted sparkle. Expect around $92,000 to $110,000. 

RAYE wore the timepiece to complement her elegant Royal Box fashion statement. I think she wanted to pair its shimmering jewelry-like aesthetic with a sleeveless black button-front midi dress and a vintage-inspired hairstyle for the high-profile final day of the tournament.

He completed the clean, summer-ready aesthetic with sharp sunglasses while enjoying a day at the tournament alongside his mother. 

This AP Royal Oak watch, reference 15407BA.OO.1220BA.01, is highly coveted because it features two balance wheels and two hairsprings assembled on the same axis, a complex mechanism that greatly increases the watch’s precision while offering a mesmerizing, skeletonized view of the movement from both sides. The retail price of this watch is roughly $100,700. However, some gold watches routinely trade well above that. 

Matt Friend: Rolex Daytona

Retail is approximately $42,700, but the Tiffany-toned gold Daytona has prices between $96,000 and $102,000 on the open market. Matt Friend loves the Rolex Daytona because of its beautiful contrast of 18k yellow gold against a vibrant turquoise dial, which makes a loud, sporty, and unapologetically bold statement on the wrist.

My Analysis of the Top Watch Trends at Wimbledon

As a luxury watch enthusiast, my analysis of this year’s Wimbledon wristchecks shows 5 trends: 

  • Gold Dominance: Solid precious metals, especially yellow gold, have officially dethroned stainless steel as the celebrity standard.
