The Lan Ba is part of the Audemars Piguet \u00d7 Swatch Royal Pop collection released May 16, 2026 \u2014 a limited-run collaboration uniting AP’s Royal Oak octagonal design language with Swatch’s hand-wound SISTEM51 movement. Each piece in the collection bears a name meaning “eight” in a different language, a tribute to the eight signature screws of the Royal Oak bezel.<\/p>\n
Movement:<\/strong> Hand-wound SISTEM51, 90-hour power reserve, Swiss-made by Swatch Group. The Royal Pop is a deliberate mashup \u2014 the 1972 G\u00e9rald Genta-designed Audemars Piguet Royal Oak meets the irreverent 1980s Pop Swatch interchangeable-case format. Where the original Pop Swatch swapped plastic cases on a wrist strap, Royal Pop reimagines the format as a Bioceramic pocket watch you can convert with a lanyard or chain. Eight colorways, each named for the number eight in a different language.<\/p>\n This piece is sourced through verified resale channels \u2014 StockX, Chrono24, or direct Swatch-boutique purchases.
