Latto — watch collection

About Latto’s watch collection

Latto, born Alyssa Michelle Stephens in Columbus, Ohio and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, is one of the most prominent rappers to emerge from the South in the early 2020s. She first gained national attention after winning the first season of Jermaine Dupri's reality competition series The Rap Game on Lifetime in 2016, before going on to build a significant independent following. Her major-label breakthrough came with the 2021 single Big Energy, which reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Melodic Rap Performance. Known for her sharp lyricism and confident persona, Latto has cemented herself as one of hip-hop's most commercially successful female voices.

The Latto watch collection, as tracked so far by Watch Paparazzi, centers on Audemars Piguet — the Swiss manufacture that has become the reference point for rap and hip-hop's relationship with fine watchmaking. At a high-profile industry event, Latto was photographed wearing a fully diamond-set Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Skeleton in stainless steel. The base reference appears to be the Royal Oak Selfwinding Skeleton 15407ST.OO.1220ST.01, a 39mm stainless steel case on an integrated bracelet housing an in-house movement, modified here with aftermarket diamond setting across the case and bracelet. It held its own alongside heavy Cuban-link chains and elaborate stage costuming — no small feat.

The choice of a skeletonized Royal Oak rather than a fully paved dial piece reflects a specific sensibility: an interest in the mechanical architecture of the watch itself, not just its surface decoration. The skeleton dial on the Royal Oak exposes the movement through the signature octagonal bezel, meaning the diamonds frame something technically substantive rather than simply covering it. With only one sighting in our database so far, the full scope of Latto's collection remains to be seen, but the AP she has already been spotted wearing suggests a collector with a sharp eye for where craft and custom work intersect.
