In this episode of Collector Conversation, Tim sits down with Bayo, a passionate connoisseur with an impressive Audemars Piguet collection. From childhood fascination to refined discernment, Bayo’s watch-wearing story evolved from early admiration to acquiring his first Frederique Constant, but it was seeing the Code 11.59 in person that started his deep dive into the world of AP watches.
Now a proud collector of iconic AP pieces—including the Starwheel, the Royal Oak 50th Anniversary Edition, and the bold Offshore—Bayo shares how his relationship with the brand has deepened through experiences like hosting AP Americas CEO Ginny Wright and attending watchmaking classes in the heart of Le Brassus.
