About Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s watch collection
Mohammed Ben Sulayem is President of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the governing body for world motorsport. Based in the United Arab Emirates, he holds significant influence over international racing regulations and championship operations. His role places him at the center of Formula 1, Formula 2, and other major motorsport competitions globally.
The Mohammed Ben Sulayem watch collection centers on Audemars Piguet, the Swiss luxury manufacturer known for its high-complication timepieces. He has been photographed wearing the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in blue ceramic (reference 26574ST.OO.1220ST.01), a limited edition produced exclusively for the Middle East market. Only 15 examples of this model were made, connecting directly to the Nad Al Sheba Sports Complex in Dubai—a location with significance to Ben Sulayem's career in motorsport governance.
The blue ceramic variant of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar represents a technical achievement in watchmaking, featuring the perpetual calendar complication alongside the brand's signature integrated bracelet design. Ben Sulayem's choice of this particular model reflects both his regional connection and his appreciation for complex mechanical watches at the highest level of craftsmanship.
