Stanislas Wawrinka Spotted Wearing Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph Reference 26331IP
Inserted 04/12/2022
Limited to just 500 pieces and born to mark the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak Chronograph's 1997 debut, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph ref. 26331IP pairs a Grade 5 titanium case with a platinum bezel and bracelet links — a material contrast that few AP collectors ever get to wear. Stanislas Wawrinka, Switzerland's three-time Grand Slam champion and a long-standing AP ambassador, wore the piece publicly, underlining his well-documented affinity for serious, technically grounded horology rather than mere status dressing.
Stanislas Wawrinka Spotted Wearing Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Extra-Thin Ref. 26586IP
Inserted 04/12/2022
At just 6.3mm thick, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Extra-Thin ref. 26586IP houses calibre 52602 — the world's thinnest automatic perpetual calendar movement, a record-breaking achievement first unveiled as the RD#2 prototype at SIHH 2018. The titanium case paired with a platinum bezel keeps the wrist presence lean despite the complication's mechanical complexity. Stanislas Wawrinka, a known AP loyalist and fellow Swiss, wears the piece with the understated confidence it demands.
Stanislas Wawrinka Spotted Wearing Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Black Ceramic Ref. 26579CE
Inserted 04/12/2022
The bracelet alone on this watch requires 30 hours of finishing — five times longer than a standard Royal Oak. Stan Wawrinka, three-time Grand Slam champion and committed watch collector, was spotted wearing the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in full black ceramic, reference 26579CE. Not a limited edition, but the brutal difficulty of machining and polishing ceramic to Royal Oak tolerances means only a handful leave Le Brassus each year, making scarcity a function of craft rather than marketing.
Stanislas Wawrinka Spotted Wearing Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Ref. 26470ST with Custom Pink Strap at US Open Victory
Inserted 30/11/2022
The Royal Oak Offshore Reference 26470ST is powered by AP's in-house Calibre 3126/3840, offering 50 hours of power reserve inside a 42mm steel case — a more restrained proposition than the original oversized Offshore that shocked the industry in 1993. Wawrinka wore his example with a custom pink strap, a personal flourish entirely in keeping with a player famous for his bold on-court style. The sighting came at one of his career's defining moments: defeating Novak Djokovic to claim the 2016 US Open title.
