Ed Sheeran Is the Only Person in the World With This Watch
How do you describe the perfect watch? Panda dials, ceramic coatings, fancy automatic movements? Many people like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and think it’s one of the best watches ever. However, this particular timepiece that was designed especially for Ed Sheeran gained a lot of attention.
Ed Sheeran Is a Watch Collector
A representative for Audemars Pique confirms that this is one-of-a-kind Royal Oak that was made specifically for Ed Sheeran. The watch worn by the singer was inspired by one of the brand’s existing ceramic perpetual calendars with an avy dial. Sheeran’s rendition is quite striking. It has a white dial and four black subdials. Only a super-collector like Sheeran would have such a nice watch.
Ed Sheeran enjoys collecting and creating watches such as this one. His second Royal Oak is a black-and-gold chronograph with an eight-pointed star at 12 o’clock to represent the month in which his daughter was born, August. In addition, he wears a custom-made, black-and-red Darth Maul-like Nautilus bearing his initials. Ed Sheeran is so fond of one-of-a-kind items that he collaborated with Tudor to create a series of watches for the crew of his Divide tour. This new black-and-white AP may be the best of the bunch.
Other Celebrities Wear AP, Too!
Audemars Pique celebrated the 50th anniversary of their signature Royal Oak last year. To commemorate the event, the brand released the watch in a vast array of limited-edition variations. Since its release, Messi and other celebrities have gravitated toward the smoky green dial, the collection also featured yellow-gold tourbillon pieces and skeleton dials.
The Azure Patek Phillipe
On the other hand (get it?), Tiffany’s Azure Patek Phillipe’s Nautilus is rare. You never know where you will find it, but when you do, it’s always thrilling. Who could have predicted that fashion designer Hilfiger would be seen wearing the watch at the F1 race in Miami? This is the most popular timepiece of all time. Upon its initial release, it was auctioned off for $5.6 million. No watch aficionado can resist this piece, as it has also attracted Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Abraham, and Tommy Hilfiger.
One thing is for sure, Ed Sheeran likes his watches. He likes them quirky, rare, and stylish. Only a handful of watchmakers today are capable of designing and manufacturing custom watches, and Audemars Piquet and Patek Phillipe are one of them. Who wouldn’t agree to make a watch specifically designed for one of the most popular singers of our time?
