The Swatch × Audemars Piguet Royal Pop launched in eight distinct colorways, split between two classic pocket watch configurations. Here's every color, what makes each one unique, and which strap colors pair best.
Lépine Models (Open Face)
Lépine pocket watches have an open dial — no protective cover over the crystal. The crown sits at 12 o'clock. These feel more like a traditional wristwatch when converted.
Royal Pop White
Clean, minimal, versatile. The white Bioceramic case with colorful gem-set hour markers gives it a playful luxury feel. The white tapisserie dial channels the Royal Oak's signature texture.
Best strap pairings: Black leather (classic contrast), white silicone (monochrome), navy FKM (nautical)
Royal Pop Pink
Hot pink Bioceramic with a pale pink dial. Bold and unapologetic. One of the most photographed models from the launch.
Best strap pairings: Black leather (evening), hot pink silicone (matching), brown leather (warm contrast)
Royal Pop Green
Vivid green with a translucent dial showing the Sistem51 movement. The most "horological" of the collection — you can see the mechanics at work.
Best strap pairings: Racing green leather (tone-on-tone), black FKM (stealth), forest green silicone (sport)
Royal Pop Light Blue
Pale blue Bioceramic with a light yellow-green dial. The most subtle colorway. Reads almost pastel in person.
Best strap pairings: Navy leather (depth), white silicone (summer), black steel bracelet (contrast)
Savonnette Models (Hunter Case)
Savonnette pocket watches have a spring-loaded cover that protects the crystal. The crown sits at 3 o'clock. These add a layer of theater — flip the cover to reveal the dial.
Royal Pop Navy
Deep navy blue Bioceramic with a matching dark blue tapisserie dial and orange accents. Sophisticated and sporty. Arguably the most "Royal Oak" of the collection.
Best strap pairings: Navy leather (refined), black FKM (sport), silver steel bracelet (Royal Oak tribute)
Royal Pop Orange
Bright orange with an orange dial. Pure pop art energy. Stands out in any setting.
Best strap pairings: Black silicone (bold contrast), brown leather (autumn), orange silicone (full send)
Royal Pop Yellow
Yellow Bioceramic with a teal/turquoise dial. The most unexpected color combo in the collection. Divisive but eye-catching.
Best strap pairings: Black everything (let the watch do the talking), or lean into it with colorful NATOs
Royal Pop Red
Cherry red Bioceramic with gold-toned accents. Classic, warm, and bold. The gold accents make it feel more luxurious than the other colorways.
Best strap pairings: Black leather with gold buckle (dress), red silicone (statement), brown leather (warmth)
Which One Should You Buy?
If you want versatility: White or Navy. Both pair well with almost any strap color.
If you want attention: Pink or Orange. These are conversation starters.
If you want horological cred: Green. The exposed movement is unmatched in this collection.
If you want the Royal Oak experience: Navy with a silver steel bracelet. It's the closest to the original AP aesthetic.
One Adapter Fits All
Regardless of which colorway you choose, every Royal Pop model uses the same 40mm octagonal case. One RP Wrist Adapter fits all eight colors. Buy multiple watches, share one adapter — just swap the watch heads.
