On and off the court Serena turns heads, leaving everyone in her wake in awe of her power and beauty. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It comes as no surprise then that some of the world\u2019s top brands want to work with her. Famed holongerie <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/audemars-piguet-1.html\">Audemars Piguet<\/a> was one of the lucky few to secure a partnership with her, and since, they\u2019ve both propelled each other further into the limelight. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the years, the tennis player has sported a few of the brand&#8217;s best watches, become the face of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/audemars-piguet\/royal-oak-offshore-1.html\">Royal Oak Offshore<\/a> watch, and pulled off the fashion-forward Diamond Outrage. Let\u2019s take a look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Piguet Royal Oak Offshore<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t see many tennis players sporting a watch on the court. But Serena isn\u2019t like many players. You\u2019ll often see her wearing the glare-proof sapphire crystal, self-winding, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/audemars-piguet\/royal_oak_offshore-rose_gold\">rose gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21176\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21176\" style=\"width: 665px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21176\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Serena-Williams-Audemars-Piguet-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Serena Williams sporting an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore\" width=\"665\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Serena-Williams-Audemars-Piguet-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Serena-Williams-Audemars-Piguet-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Serena-Williams-Audemars-Piguet-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Serena-Williams-Audemars-Piguet-585x293.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21176\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Serena Williams sporting an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s hard to keep your eyes off her while she plays, but the sparkle of 32 brilliant-cut diamonds might distract even the most faithful fan. What we love about this watch too is the mix of opulence and sporty flare, as the diamonds and rose gold are a wonderfully fun juxtaposition to a white-rubber bracelet. She wore this one during the Open in 2016 and won. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Audemars Piguet Millenary<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like the Royal Oak Offshore, Serena\u2019s Millenary is outfitted in rose gold and encrusted with diamonds. But, the similarities pretty much end there. The face of the Millenary is exquisite, with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nacre\">a mother-of-pearl face<\/a> alongside shimmering rose gold Roman numerals and hands. The clock itself is also skewed off to the right with the numerals whimsically graduating in size. The rest of the face looks three-dimensional, giving you a peek into some of the moving parts and featuring quite literally some of the nuts and bolts of the watch itself. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21177\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21177\" style=\"width: 665px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21177\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Serena-Williams-Audemars-Piguet-Millenary-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"Serena Williams Audemars Piguet Millenary\" width=\"665\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Serena-Williams-Audemars-Piguet-Millenary-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Serena-Williams-Audemars-Piguet-Millenary-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Serena-Williams-Audemars-Piguet-Millenary-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Serena-Williams-Audemars-Piguet-Millenary-585x328.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Serena-Williams-Audemars-Piguet-Millenary.jpg 1042w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21177\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Audemars Piguet Millenary (Photo courtesy of Forbes)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The strap is a pearl-white alligator strap, of course, with a matching rose gold pin buckle.

Encrusted with 65 carats of diamonds around graduating, but mostly large, spikes, this bracelet has a serious wow factor. The larger spikes, which range from 39-40mm in height, were designed to evoke the icicles that drip from buildings in the watchmaker&#8217;s hometown in Vallee d&#8217; Joux. Distracted by the bling and shape, it\u2019s easy to forget to lift up one of the bigger spikes to reveal the actual timepiece. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21179\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21179\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21179\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/audemars-piguet-diamond-outrage-watches-news.jpg\" alt=\"Audemars Piguet Diamond Outrage\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/audemars-piguet-diamond-outrage-watches-news.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/audemars-piguet-diamond-outrage-watches-news-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/audemars-piguet-diamond-outrage-watches-news-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/audemars-piguet-diamond-outrage-watches-news-543x380.jpg 543w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21179\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Audemars Piguet Diamond Outrage is, believe it or not, a watch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just looking at this timepiece it\u2019s clear there are few people who could pull it off, and Serena Williams did it with sheer elegance at the Met Gala in 2017.
