Inserted 03/05/2023
The Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph in full 18K rose gold is one of the most technically demanding watches in AP's catalogue — its integrated bracelet alone requires over 200 individual components. Canelo Álvarez, spotted at a TV Azteca press event in a bespoke plaid suit, wears the piece with the quiet confidence of a man who owns multiple AP references. The warm rose-gold dial with dark contrasting subdials and bold Arabic numerals mirrors the fighter's preference for bold, high-contrast aesthetics without veering into ostentation.

Inserted 03/05/2023
The Rolex Day-Date 128238's green ombré dial is one of the most visually arresting offerings in the current President lineup — a combination of sunburst graduation and mixed diamond indexes that Rolex reserves exclusively for precious-metal references.

Powered by the ultra-thin Calibre 5134 at just 4.31mm thick, this 41mm rose gold piece pairs a champagne Grande Tapisserie dial with contrasting deep blue subdials. Canelo Álvarez, unified super middleweight champion, was photographed wearing it ringside ahead of his bout against Caleb Plant.

Inserted 30/04/2023
Among the rarest celebrity-commissioned timepieces in contemporary horology, the Roger Dubuis Excalibur 'Canelo Victory' houses a double flying tourbillon movement — one of watchmaking's most technically demanding complications — across a fully skeletonized dial. Roger Dubuis produced exactly eight examples worldwide, each bearing the inscription 'Quince de septiembre' (September 15th, Mexican Independence Day) on the dial, tying the watch directly to Canelo's trademark fight-night calendar. At $325,000 retail, it is a monument to both craft and championship.
Canelo Álvarez Spotted Wearing Richard Mille RM 67-02 'Alexander Zverev'
Inserted 27/04/2023
At just 32 grams total weight, the Richard Mille RM 67-02 ranks among the lightest automatic wristwatches ever produced — a feat of engineering that makes its $325,000 price tag feel almost logical. The 38 mm case pairs black Carbon NTPT with Red Quartz TPT, materials laminated in dozens of microscopically thin plies for structural rigidity no traditional metal can match. The skeletonized dial carries the colors of Germany in tribute to tennis star Alexander Zverev, the athlete for whom this edition was created. Canelo Álvarez, world boxing champion across four weight divisions, adds it to a wrist already legendary in the sport.
Canelo Álvarez Spotted Wearing Richard Mille RM 52-01 Tourbillon Skull in Titanium and Ceramic
Inserted 24/12/2022
The RM 52-01 houses a fully skeletonized manual-winding tourbillon movement with a three-dimensional rose gold skull serving as both dial and visual centerpiece — one of Richard Mille's most theatrically complex pieces and a firm grail among high-horology collectors. Produced in extremely limited numbers, the titanium and ceramic case variant pushes the retail valuation to approximately $2.5 million USD, making it one of the most expensive wristwatches regularly spotted in the wild. Pound-for-pound boxing champion Canelo Álvarez, no stranger to landmark Richard Mille references, wore the skull tourbillon in a recent public appearance, reinforcing his status as one of the brand's most committed celebrity ambassadors.

Priced at $726,500 retail, the rose gold, diamond-set variant pushes the concept of haute horlogerie as wearable sculpture. Canelo Álvarez was photographed in the piece at the moment he cemented his place in boxing history, becoming the first undisputed four-belt super middleweight champion.
Canelo Álvarez Spotted Wearing Jacob & Co Oil Pump Double Axis Tourbillon in 18K Rose Gold
Inserted 30/11/2022
The Jacob & Co Oil Pump is one of the most theatrically engineered wristwatches in contemporary horology — its two animated derricks are driven by a dedicated pusher-activated automaton power reserve, entirely separate from the going train. Canelo Álvarez, boxing's pound-for-pound kingpin and a well-documented Jacob & Co collector, was photographed giving a thumbs-up with the massive rose gold case clearly visible on his wrist, the skeletonized dial's industrial architecture unmistakable even at distance.

Inserted 30/11/2022
The Rolex Sky-Dweller ref. 326935 houses one of the most mechanically complex movements Rolex has ever produced — the in-house calibre 9001, featuring an annual calendar, dual time zone, and the patented Ring Command bezel that lets the wearer switch between three adjustment modes with a simple bezel rotation. Rendered entirely in Rolex's proprietary Everose gold, an 18-carat rose gold alloy engineered to resist fading, the 42mm case is both a technical achievement and an unambiguous statement of wealth. Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez, boxing's pound-for-pound standard-bearer, wears it with characteristic confidence.

Spotted on the wrist of pound-for-pound boxing great Canelo Álvarez ahead of his May 2016 bout with Amir Khan, the all-yellow-gold case paired with the vivid blue Cerachrom bezel makes this a statement piece that bridges sporting precision with unabashed luxury.
Canelo Álvarez Spotted Wearing His Own Roger Dubuis Excalibur Skeleton Special Edition
Inserted 30/11/2022
The most compelling detail on this Roger Dubuis Excalibur Skeleton isn't visible at a glance: Canelo Álvarez's initials — 'CA' — have been engineered into the jumper spring, a functional component of the movement itself. That's not decoration; that's haute horlogerie personalization at a mechanical level. The strap is cut from Canelo's actual boxing gloves, completing a bespoke object that sits at the intersection of sport and fine watchmaking. Limited to just 88 pieces, this collaboration underlines Roger Dubuis's growing foothold in athlete-ambassador partnerships.

Inserted 30/11/2022

Inserted 30/11/2022
The Rolex Daytona 116508 in 18K yellow gold with a white dial is one of the most coveted references in the Daytona lineup — a chronograph that traces its motorsport DNA back to 1963 yet commands serious grey-market premiums today. Pound-for-pound boxing champion Canelo Álvarez was photographed wearing the piece around the time of his dominant stoppage victory over Billy Joe Saunders in Arlington, Texas, adding another statement timepiece to a wrist portfolio that reflects his status as the sport's biggest pay-per-view draw.
Canelo Álvarez Spotted Wearing White Ceramic Richard Mille RM 055 Bubba Watson
Inserted 30/11/2022
The Richard Mille RM 055 'Bubba Watson' is one of the few watches in the world to feature a full white ceramic tonneau case — a manufacturing feat that took Richard Mille years to perfect, given ceramic's extreme brittleness at such complex geometries. Originally created in partnership with professional golfer Bubba Watson, the skeletonized manual-winding caliber CRMA2 runs at 21,600 vph and delivers 55 hours of power reserve. Mexican boxing superstar Canelo Álvarez, whose wrist game is as calculated as his ring strategy, chose this rare piece as his statement timepiece.

Inserted 30/11/2022
The RM011 'Felipe Massa' was Richard Mille's first chronograph wristwatch, co-developed with the Brazilian Formula 1 driver and engineered to survive the brutal g-forces of a racing cockpit — making it an apt choice for a man who absorbs punishment for a living. Canelo Álvarez was seen wearing the rose gold variant with a striking ivory dial shortly after defeating Liam Smith to claim the WBO Super-Welterweight Championship, pairing one of haute horology's most technically ambitious flyback chronographs with one of boxing's most significant title victories.

Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez was spotted wearing this heavyweight piece shortly after his sixth-round KO victory over Amir Khan, a wrist choice that matched the occasion: unambiguous, expensive, and hard to argue with.
Canelo Álvarez Spotted Wearing Richard Mille RM 67-02 White Quartz TPT Alexis Pinturault Edition
Inserted 30/11/2022
The RM 67-02's White Quartz TPT case is produced by layering over 600 sheets of quartz filaments infused with white pigmented resin — no two cases share the same pattern, making every piece structurally unique. Richard Mille built this edition in direct collaboration with French alpine ski racer Alexis Pinturault, engineering the ultra-slim profile around an athlete's wrist ergonomics. Mexican boxing champion Canelo Álvarez wore the piece while accepting Mexico's GQ Athlete of the Year award, pairing elite sport watchmaking with a fitting accolade.
Canelo Álvarez Spotted Wearing Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Reference 15400ST in Stainless Steel with White Dial
Inserted 30/11/2022
The Royal Oak ref. 15400ST represents the definitive evolution of Gérald Genta's 1972 icon, housing AP's in-house Calibre 3120 automatic and delivering a 60-hour power reserve inside a 41mm octagonal steel case. Introduced in 2012 as the successor to the long-running 15300ST, it remained in production until 2020 when the 15500ST took over — making surviving examples increasingly sought after on the secondary market. Pound-for-pound boxing champion Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez, one of the sport's highest-earning athletes, is rarely seen without serious horology on his wrist.

Inserted 30/11/2022
The Rolex Submariner Date 116613LB runs on the Calibre 3135, a movement so robust and accurate it became the industry benchmark for automatic diving watches. The reference pairs an 18-carat yellow gold and Oystersteel case with a vivid blue Cerachrom bezel insert and matching blue dial — a combination collectors nicknamed 'Bluesy.' Pound-for-pound boxing superstar Canelo Álvarez, whose wrist game is as deliberate as his fighting style, was recently spotted wearing exactly this reference, one of Rolex's most recognisable and coveted sports watches.
Canelo Álvarez Spotted Wearing an 18K Rose Gold Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5980R
Inserted 30/11/2022
The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980R is one of the few integrated-bracelet chronographs in horological history where both the movement and the case are executed entirely in-house — a genuine technical rarity at this price tier. The 5980R pairs that Calibre CH 28-520 C flyback movement with a warm 18K rose gold case and matching bracelet, producing one of the most recognizable wrist statements in the Nautilus family. Canelo Álvarez, pound-for-pound boxing's most decorated active champion, wore the piece in keeping with his well-documented taste for serious haute horlogerie.
