Tinnie Tempah wearing Audemars Piguet
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph Pink Gold Reference 26322OR
So far in the Watch Paparazzi database, the Audemars Piguet 26322OR has been confirmed on the wrist of Tinie Tempah, the London-born rapper known for 'Pass Out' and 'Written in the Stars.' Tempah has long positioned himself as one of the UK's most closely watched names in menswear and accessories, regularly appearing at fashion weeks and in editorial shoots, so a sighting of him wearing a piece as deliberate as a full pink gold Royal Oak Chronograph carries real weight. That the only confirmed wearer so far comes from the world of music — rather than, say, sport or film — is an early indicator of where this reference sits: it reads as a personal style statement rather than a status default.
The Audemars Piguet 26322OR sits at a retail price point that already puts it well out of reach for most buyers, but availability is the bigger barrier. Like most solid precious-metal Royal Oak references, it is produced in limited numbers relative to demand, and authorised dealers rarely hold stock openly. On the secondary market the 26322OR has traded at premiums above retail, reflecting both the underlying value of 18k pink gold and the persistent appetite for Royal Oak references in any configuration. Buyers without an existing relationship with an AP boutique have historically found this reference difficult to source at retail, pushing many toward grey market channels at elevated prices.
The 26322OR is a 41mm Royal Oak Chronograph cased entirely in 18k pink gold, with AP's signature eight-bolt bezel and integrated bracelet carried through in the same warm-toned metal. Tinie Tempah's public affinity for the piece has given it some of its early visibility outside traditional watch circles.
