This Watch is Pinnacle of Luxury for LeBron and Jay Z | Behind The HYPE: Audemars Piguet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2020
- From Drake and LeBron James to John Mayer and Travis Scott, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is the choice timepiece of watch collectors and celebrities alike. HYPEBEAST explores why the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak has become a luxury staple and a holy grail for horology aficionados.
So the Shah of Iran was instrumental in popularizing the G wagen and the Royal Oak. basically he's a pop culture icon
Indirectly yes😂
Recently I discovered about the crazy ass party he threw goddamn.
Not To Forget He Drove A Lamborghini Muira In The Snow 🙃
@@kanyewest7067 No way 😂
@@kanyewest7067 He also owned two Ferrari 500 Superfast. 2 of 36 ever built.
My Casio is my pinnacle of luxury.
limited edition gou double retail....all rubber and plstic..
GENZ facts
which casio do you have ?
As well as my Timex...it took a lickin' and keeps on tickin'.
@@sriseth2480 hmmm.. if it's TRUE high Horology, probably the F91W, bit above most peoples budget though.
This series is so cool, hope it never dies
laserspear22 fore real
It's tourbillion not "Thourbillon" and the offshore doesn't start at 275k
Yea the offshore is the cheapest line of watches by AP right?If I am not wrong
I literally cringed when heard that
Watch snob alert
@@paintbv7696 Jules Audemars is the "cheapest line". If you can call a line that starts at $20k like that.
@@paintbv7696 20k is cheap??
24 hours and you design one one the most iconic watches . Damn.
He later designed the Patek Nautilus too
@@dm_247 he designed it in just 5 mins!!
0:11 Drake is wearing a Patek not AP
I think they were just showing drake but obviously its still awkward.
Good eye drake is in fack wearing a patek phillip nautilus fully iced out
Nautilus and royal oak were design by same genta. A pair of sister watch if u will.
A girl one 36mm
3:20 the sketch on the right is of the Patek Philippe Nautilus. Gerald Genta designer both icons.
Yeah and I'm pretty sure 3:52 is actually wearing a Patek, story for another day I guess.
@@PlayingArc i saw that too and wondered about it
Watch geek here... Jay Z's documented "pinnacle of luxury" in watches is actually the Patek 6300G Grand Master Chime ($2.2m). His pinnacle in vintage is the Franck Muller Rolex (one of one). AP is still cool though.
Personally I’d get an A Lange & Sohne if I had this kind of money
cool
@Alex The Saxonia Thin currently sells for around $16,000; for an A. Lange & Söhne, that's a solid watch.
@Alex I mean if you have money like Drake you can get whatever you want.
Buy a stale ap royal oak or get a lange triple split or rattrapante perpetual...
they look amazing
This video is to Watch Enthusiasts what that The Verge video is to PC Builders.
I thought Genta designed the RO after a ships porthole, not a diving helmet.
isn't that hublot ?
Patek, hublot and AP all take from the porthole ;) and Genta did the Nautilus and the RO
Genta designed the IWC Ingenieur as well
No, diver's helmet. One thing they got right
He also designed V&C 222, rarest of all of them
rick ross be like: ISSA AUDEMIER
😂😂😂
Behind the hype is the best series on YT
I love the history on Watches. Super fascinated by how expensive they get.
Lionel Messi is Watch Embassador for Jacob & Co and not Audemars Piguet
True. He has the "Messi" watch made by Jacob & Co. He might own some AP's though.
Jacob & Co? disgusting
You talk about Jay Z and Lebron but not the countless AP for Arnold Schwarzenegger? He had the most watches
I got several Tissot for work, some G-shock for jogging, and some Diesel for my casual daily uses. I am a super happy man with many options in my drawer without spending a lot.
Ok ???
Something about the intro that sucks me dry
IKR
One of the first clips was courtesy of Watchfinder 👁️👄👁️
2:58 Messi timetravelled
Holy as a persian that is considering a royal oak i didnt know reza pahlavi was the first cutomer and made it popular, now im sold!
the frosted ap while gold with gems skeleton is BEEEEEEATTTUFULLL
but i would love to own frosted skeleton with no gems 41mm
thats one of my dream watchs just to see the gears with shine glaring from the ap frosted effect white gold
Convincing customers to spend 10 of thousands of $ for basic steel watches must be one of the most successful cons of history.
Richard Mille has entered the chat .... they convinced customers to spend $150k+ for watches made out of plastic
Exactly smh 🤦🏻♂️
Genta was a design monster! Great video you guys!
always love in/outro song
Behind the hype: BB Simon
Behind the hype: Bape
Behind the hype: Palm Angels
Behind the hype: Ralph Lauren
Your editing is top notch
He also designed the patek Philippe nautilus
Me: AP is only a one trick pony.
Hypebeast: It Royal Oaks make up 90% of the companies sales.
Me: holy shit, that's even more than I expect
I was scared for a moment, i thought it was Hublot...
Unboxed mine on my channel a few days ago, I agree! 🙏😍
almost buy and then i thought i can just get it off collector when the hype die down since i rather living in japan than had one watch... with cov-19 i was right... enjoy my time in japan.. cov-19 free...
This series is genuine genius. Please do review behind The Red Bottom, Christian Louboutin ❤
24 hours to design an iconic watch.......damn !
Best work is often done in a hurry. No time to overthink and just create.
AP must stay with offshore project, btw do u know AP made first ultra thin watches in the world? 18k and back to 100 years ago
Im from iran, its crazy how our old king from my mom's Teen years even had that, such a great series, keep it up
We need more Behind The Hype videos!
we need more behind the hype videos
Any gems distort the original Genta design, the Royal Oak is the pinnacle of all steel sportwatches, it should be worn in original style
If a person spends this much on a watch, Im pretty sure no one can tell them how to wear it.
@@oc4515 money doesn't buy class
blyatman ! I promise you no one gives at about your perspectives on class
@@Yzyenthusiast nope, why should they? An original watch of one of the bigger traditional brands is way more beautiful than an iced-out one. All those gems just ridicule the original desings and craftsmanship
blyatman ! I agree with you. These sort of videos aren’t for watch fans like us though. If not for celebrities most of the people watching this wouldn’t know a Royal Oak from an Invicta.
Your boy with the grey pupon accent kicked in. at 2:20 I wasn’t ready Concept AP way more on the secondary market Still can find some non offshores for under 20k so if you want the look look around
grey poupon accent, nice one xD
Rolex wasn't Luxury in the 1970's that came After the quartz crisis.
@No One Basically in the 60s-70s the quartz watch was invented, which is the same kind of watch you're probably wearing today (one with a battery). These battery powered watches were not only much cheaper to make but also MUCH More accurate at keeping time. This basically made the "old" mechanical watches obsolete. A lot of traditional watchmakers that had been in business for literal centuries went bankrupt because of the invention of the quartz watch, which is where it got the name "quartz crisis"
The Royal Oak is often credited with single handedly paving the road for today's luxury watches to make a comeback as it was the first "luxury sports watch". Before then a Rolex etc was a tool watch and not actually considered a luxurious watch.
Because it was a steel watch and not precious metal like gold or platinum like most expensive watches were back then and priced at around what would be 20k$ nowadays, many people laughed at the idea at first, which is why it sold only 1000 pieces in 3 years.
To this day a 20$ Casio will still be much more accurate at keeping time than even the most expensive of mechanical watches (Richard Mille, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, ...)
@@osrsw6450 This is the question I've been pondering for months: at what point in history did the watchmakers became luxurious not just a reliable tool watch?
I want a Audemars Piguet!
Watchfinder fans say "Hey!"
The Audemar Piguet and the Rolex Day Date are my favorites
So many mistakes and poorly researched facts in this video...
I mean the channel is called hypebeast
"Pinnacle of Luxury", look up Credor and A. Lange & Söhne. Just because Rappers mention it in their songs, doesn't make the "Pinnacle of Luxury". The Royal Oak is an iconic piece of Horology, however it's far from being a pinnacle of luxury. Those God awful blinged out watches are about as appealing as Supreme t-shirts.
Credor? Not even close to pinnacle of luxury
*Laughs in Richard Mille*
Credit has amazing Beveling/anglage but the AP makes some nice ass minute repeaters
@@sanojx3161 Richard Mille is paying 150k plus for plastic fashion statements with over engineered movements. They won't stand the test of time whereas iconic AP's and Pateks will. Richard Mille just markets well that they only got limited stock of each model ..but since every edition of there's is limited edition...there'll come a time when supply is more than demand. Then boom all the prices of RMs will crash.
@@shuaib2281 It'll take hundreds maybe thousands of years for a plastic to disintegrate 🤣🤭. Also have you heard about Carbon Richard Milles? I bet you do 🤭.
That and the Rolex Day Date are my favorite
Richard Mille and Patek Philippe watching this: Am I a joke to you?
Richard mille is trash
that silhouette of Serena though ohhhhh man
This is a really great ad, more.
AP fan for ever
Ap is amazing watch, amazing design amazing mechanism amazing craftsmanship.
first of all, drake's watch at 0:11 is a patek. also the offshore doesn't start at over 275,000 USD. People would be better off watching Hodinkee if they want to learn more about watches.
the picture of drake at 0:11 is him wearing a patek philippe nautilus not an Audemars Piguet
At the end of the day it tells the same time as any other watch 😅
My orient bambino still good to me
this video is full of misinformation...the offshore doesn’t start at $275,000 and back in 1972 Rolex wasn’t dominating the market.(as a matter of fact back then omega was much bigger)
Yeah be more specific
how ?
Yeahh messi is a brand ambassador of Jacob and co and not audemars piguet
@@HallowedManhattan fist of all the offshore doesn’t start at $275,000 and back in 1972 Rolex wasn’t dominating the market.
@@vaibhavgautam507 No actually he did do a limited piece with AP
Isn’t Drake wearing a Patek 0:11? 😂
Yeah that definitely looks like a Nautilus to me lol
one of many errors in this video lol
Boost this lmao
Pawn shop: ill give you 12$
Rick Ross sayin it in BMF legendary but im surprised the Future clip didn't land here
The famed...Vallee de Joux...the very cradle, the very genesis, the beating heart and aged soul of the Swiss watchmaking industry
Frosted gold open worked is the business
Plot twist...
Kids in Bangladesh make these watches under candle light for a dollar a day...
They are made in switzerland
@@bbre1111
Nope. They're actually made in a village near Dhaka Bangladesh, and then quietly sent by sea to Switzerland.
Unfortunatelly,the celebrities doesn’t even know who was Gerald Genta,or what happened in 1972.They only want ap on the wrist,but that is where this world of commercalism and consumerism go...not only in watchmaking,in everything...and i’m really sad about it...a very few people will buy 15202 nowadays,but that is one of the most beautiful and important watch in the history.In my HO.
I would say that Jay Z knows Genta and some of the more famous watchmakers. He rocks a Franck Muller modified Rolex. Few people buy the 15202 nowadays because we can't. They won't sell it to me until I buy 6 figures worth of other watches. Thanks to online media, more people know about horology and Gerald Genta than ever have, but still a small % of the general population. I understand your sentiment and agree for the most part.
You'll be shocked to know that lots of rappers actually know their watch games.
I’m still a Rolex and Patek guy
I know this watch would be very expensive but the Rolex rainbow Daytona looks much better. The basic RO looks the best🙌🏼
Idk why but the Patek nautilus speaks to more
Are we gonna get one of these for the Nautilus
Jacob & Co. join the scene
AP is discontinuing the Royal Oak model. It will eventually become very hard to acquire. I think they're making a mistake though. It's one of the most sought after luxury watches in the entire market.
They got almost all the prices wrong bro
My $6.95 Casio Wristwatch is perfect for me 👌
Noob
Do Patek Philippe next please!
Audemars piguet is part of the holy trinity of watches. These famous people did NOT contribute towards that. They simply have money, so they purchase best. They didn't make them the best.
does anyone know the name of the song that's being played in the intro of these series?
Ya’ll must’ve forgot jay’s Patek Grandmaster Chime
Did Serena get smoked by a tennis player ranked 200 plus?
The price ranges is a bit messed up
Bruh this some serious ice
ITS AN AUDAMEEEER!!!
Im still waiting for the classy celebrity to wear A. lange & söhne and F.P. Journe to send the prices through the roof
2:57 Messi was a watchmaker in his previous life
lol.
The way he says audemars piguet
Nah bruh Royal Oak is a dope watch but the pinnacle is Patek, FP Journe, or A Lange & Sohne that's what real watch collectors want
FP Journe? Nah
@@gabrielhutschneker9159 you can't be serious FP journe is the equivalent of buying Picasso paintings while he was still alive. Even if you buy the cheapest $15,000 quarts FP in 10 years that things going to be your retirement fund.
David Alves ok master😂
@@gabrielhutschneker9159 I work in a high end watch retailer and I see the trend, I don't even like the look of most of the FP models but as an investment it's probably the best one you can make right now
Glashutte Original ( a more accessible watch that true collectors want )
which is the watch in the thumbnail?
Skeleton watches existed way before 1934
Please do a review for d1 milano skeleton
A Casioak is about as close as I'll ever get.
It’s straight Patek homie, all day.
It sounds like the Royal Oak is the perfect fit for ghetto gangster rapper types...classy...
Getting one soon.
u talk about watches but dont put @londonwatchcollector into your vids that hurts
Great Vidio...loveit
GOLD 2:01
Imma have one one day for sure
As a watch person I see so many mislabeled things in this vid. Why show the sketch of the Nautilus?
also the concept labeled as off-shore
”Watch person”... Gerald Genta made the design for the Nautilus too.. and the VC Overseas!
Reeb Coffee “internet proof reader” The Nautilus was designed by Genta. The VC Overseas was by Jorg Hysek. Genta said “flattered” at the assumption he was also the father of the Overseas.
I’d prefer something original by independent watch makers. Harry Winston, Ferdinand Berthoud, Hajime Asaoka etc. for that kind of money. AP is way overhyped. When you can buy an exact replica of a luxury watch like AP for $300 that watch isn’t worth 200 times more.
Same designer of the Royal Oak as the patek phillipe
Will you please do a video on patek philippe
this watch is beautiful and i think it will work well
Best watch i ever bought - royal oak offshore 42 in 🌹
