In the realms of music and high fashion, Bruno Mars has emerged as an icon, captivating audiences not only with his exceptional musical prowess but also with his unforgettable sense of style. His passion for fashion extends beyond mere clothing to include a keen appreciation for timepieces. The present lot is an Audemars Piguet Reference 15202, specially made for his 24K Magic World Tour and gifted to each member of The Hooligans, the talented band accompanying Bruno Mars.
Bruno Mars' 24K Magic World Tour marked his fourth concert tour, spanning from March 2017 to December 31st, 2018. As a grand gesture of appreciation for their dedication and hard work, Bruno gave each of his bandmates one of these Royal Oaks. Expressing his sentiment, Bruno took to the internet, crafting a heartwarming quote: "My boys continue to show the world what time it is, and a band that sings together blings together!". The watches were presented in commemorative boxes featuring gold-plated plaques inscribed with "Audemars Piguet: Bruno Mars 24K Magic World Tour Edition," while the case backs bore the engraving 'XXIVK MAGIC WORLD TOUR.' Furthermore, the rotor features the engraved initials of every band member, with the current piece bearing the mark 'JA' signifying Jamareo Artis, the esteemed bass guitarist of The Hooligans. Although not made in 24-karat gold, the watch is housed in a 39 mm 18k yellow gold case and matching bracelet, featuring a champagne dial showcasing Audemars Piguets signature “Petite Tapisserie'' pattern.
