Audemars Piguet × Swatch Royal Pop Ocho Negro Ref. SSX03W101N

The Audemars Piguet × Swatch Royal Pop Ocho Negro SSX03W101N was released in 2026 as a black-and-white Lépine-style model in the Royal Pop collection. The reference uses a black Bioceramic case and dial with a white octagonal bezel, producing the strongest monochrome contrast among the six central two-hand versions. The case measures 40.0 mm without the clip and 44.2 × 53.2 mm when mounted on the clip. It is 8.4 mm thick and made from Bioceramic, including the crown, hexagonal screws, and holder clip. The removable clip construction allows the watch head to be attached to the supplied black calfskin lanyard with white contrast stitching. The black dial is finished with a tapisserie effect and carries the AP × Swatch and Royal Pop logos. The display consists of central hours and minutes, with no seconds indication, and the crown is positioned at 12 o’clock. The hands and markers are treated with Grade A Super-LumiNova with blue emission. The white Bioceramic bezel has a vertical satin finish and is fitted with eight black hexagonal Bioceramic screws. This contrast reverses the darker case and dial color, while preserving the Royal Oak-derived octagonal geometry and screw arrangement. The watch uses front and rear sapphire crystals with anti-reflective coating, and the transparent case back partially reveals the hand-wound SISTEM51 movement.
