One of the earliest watches Serena wore was the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Rose Gold edition. Notably, she donned this watch during Wimbledon. However, this watch is really heavy, as the rose gold makes it heavier than normal watches, which is not very ideal to play tennis. The current value of this watch sits between $65,000 to $70,000.
One of Serena’s most viral watches was the Audemars Piguet Black Panther edition. Notably, the Swiss manufacturing company collaborated with Marvel after the release of the Black Panther movie back in 2018. Since the collaboration, the watch became insanely popular among fans. Moreover, this was a limited edition watch with only 25o pieces.
Safe to say, one of the pieces went to Serena, as she wore it on many occasions. However, Audemars Piguet first introduced this watch at an auction and the first watch was sold for around $3 million. The current value of this watch is between $475,000 to $500,000.
Apart from these watches, Serena also wore many versions of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak on many occasions, particularly at the Met Gala in 2017 and in 2019. During the 2017 Met Gala, she was sporting her baby bump as she wore an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak with 65 carats of diamonds in it.
In 2022, Audemars Piguet released a new video where Serena was wearing the latest version of the Royal Oak. The 34 mm Royal Oak self-winding watch had a black ceramic base with iridescent rainbow details on the dial.
