• Bad Bunny’s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak stole the spotlight at his Super Bowl LX halftime show.
• Made from 18-carat yellow gold, this watch showcases a striking green malachite dial with unique natural patterns.

• Starting at USD $75,700, it’s one of the most eye-catching Royal Oaks available.

Bad Bunny delivered one of the most unforgettable Super Bowl halftime shows, celebrating Puerto Rican culture with surprise guest appearances and powerful tributes woven throughout. While many fans were focused on his music, visuals, and performance, a few watch enthusiasts captured Bad Bunny’s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in 18K yellow gold, featuring a striking green malachite dial that blended effortlessly with the halftime show’s earthy colour palette and nature-inspired scenery. Against the cream-coloured outfit and lush green backdrop, the watch felt less like an accessory and more like a carefully chosen part of the performance itself.

Available in both 37mm and 41mm case sizes, the Royal Oak pairs its 18-carat yellow gold case with a malachite stone dial, a stone known for its rich green tones and distinctive patterns, making no two watches alike. It’s unique to the wearer because each dial has its own character, thanks to the stone’s natural variations.

It’s in high demand, and collectors can’t get enough of it, making it a perfect fit for building on stage around heritage, personal expression, and a story to tell. Starting at USD $75,700 for the 37mm model and USD $81,900 for the 41mm version, the Royal Oak isn’t exactly an impulse purchase. Then again, if you’re headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, perhaps “impulse purchase” means something entirely different, especially if the show was watched by more than 135 million people.

Green dials are having a moment again, and Audemars Piguet has taken one of its most recognizable watches and paired it with natural malachite, a dial material that feels almost too beautiful to be real. The latest Royal Oak Selfwinding is the sort of watch that stops you mid-scroll, whether you’re a seasoned collector or someone who truly appreciates great design.

Royal Oak fans will likely remember the brand’s turquoise stone-dial models from a few years ago. Released at the height of the Tiffany-blue craze, those watches quickly became collector favourites and remain among the most sought-after Royal Oaks on the secondary market. This time, Audemars Piguet has traded turquoise for malachite, a fitting choice at a moment when green dials continue to dominate the watch world.

The beauty of the watch extends well beyond the dial. Available in both 37mm and 41mm case sizes, the Royal Oak pairs its malachite face with a full 18-carat yellow gold case and bracelet, creating a combination that feels both luxurious and sporty. The warm tones of the gold work perfectly against the deep green stone, while the yellow-gold applied hour markers and the Royal Oak’s signature hands, finished with a luminescent coating, truly make the dial pop.

While the two models share the same overall design, there are a few notable differences. The 37 mm model is Audemars Piguet’s Calibre 5909, which features 174 components, 29 jewels, a 4 Hz frequency, and a 60-hour power reserve. On the other hand, the 41 mm model houses Audemars Piguet’s Calibre 4309 and raises the bar with features such as 225 components, 32 jewels, and an impressive 70-hour power reserve. Both movements show how the brand combines classic Swiss watchmaking with modern engineering, offering the reliability and performance you’d expect from such a respected name.

Despite all the details and the eye-catching dial, the watch remains a Royal Oak after all. The octagonal bezel, integrated bracelet, and slim proportions have defined the collection for more than five decades and continue to make it one of the most recognizable watches in the world.

As mentioned above, the prices are USD $75,700 for the model and USD $81,900 for the 41m version; it certainly isn’t an impulse purchase. Then again, if you’re already wearing a custom Zara outfit, performing for more than 135 million viewers, and headlining the Super Bowl halftime show, a yellow-gold Royal Oak with a malachite dial probably feels like the perfect finishing touch.

For collectors drawn to yellow gold sports watches, the latest Royal Oak in malachite is difficult to overlook. Combining one of watchmaking’s most iconic designs with a dial that ensures no two pieces are exactly alike, it stands out as one of Audemars Piguet’s most compelling releases in recent years.
