Last night, Kendrick Lamar performed a medley of the classics, like “Humble” and “DNA,” and “Not Like Us” with Serena Williams’ crip walk only adding to the weight of the Drake diss track. With a performance – in front of Donald Trump no less – that saw Lamar’s backing dancers form a disjointed flag alongside Lamar, there’s no doubting somewhat cryptic political meanings were there for viewers to decipher. But if there’s one thing that we got loud and clear, it’s Williams’ heavyweight watch flex.
The Super Bowl is the most watched American sports event of the year, so naturally Williams – no stranger to performing on the world stage – knew her cameo would be a good opportunity to serve up some horological firepower. By wearing a Code 11.59 Tourbillon Openworked by perfect replica Audemars Piguet watches, Williams did just that.
The standout piece is produced in a limited-edition run of 50 which means the chances of seeing one in the wild are pretty slim. Up close, its hypnotic skeleton design exposes the US high quality copy watches‘ flying tourbillon – a mechanism that put simply uses weights to defy gravity and keep seriously accurate time. Stems back 1801, but it’s way more complex than that).
The 11.59’s 41mm ceramic case is completed with a white gold bezel and lugs, and houses a hand-wound calibre 2948 movement, which provides 75 hours of power reserve. On a rubber-coated strap with a white gold clasp, it dials down on the luxury sports thing that best fake Audemars Piguet watches have had nailed since the Royal Oak first dropped in 1972. The fact Williams chose to flex a 11.59 over an RO is testament to the rise in popularity the model continues to attract; it feels a long time ago that the new model was unveiled to mixed reviews back in 2019.
And it wasn’t just Serena who rocked a buzzy tourbillon for the big occasion. Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady wore a Jacob & Co. Caviar Tourbillon worth over half a million pounds. With 371 yellow sapphires, it was a certified champion-worthy flex. But to top off a night of mega tourbillons, Jay-Z wore a Richard Mille RM66 Flying Tourbillon “Rockstar.” It’s super limited (to just two pieces) and topped off a fierce line-up of wrist checks for the game – exactly what we’d expect from one of the music game’s biggest Swiss made replica watches fiends.
But for us, Serena Williams dropping this US cheap super clone Audemars Piguet 11.59 Openworked Tourbillon while performing on stage during the Super Bowl half-time show takes home the horological win.
