This isn’t the only unique album-themed watch Sheeran got recently. While Sheeran has a few unique Audemars Piguet watches, including the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in white ceramic, which we discussed with him in 2023, he also showcased a unique “Jumbo” 16202BC back in April of this year. 

For those in the know, that’s a big deal for AP collectors; while AP does a small handful of unique pieces, any non-complicated watch (especially the Jumbo) has generally been a hard line in the sand.

That’s neither here nor there, but it’s proof that Sheeran can get most anything he wants these days as a superstar watch collector (even a unique colorway), so his choice to go with IWC was no coincidence. It is intentional and shows an appreciation for the brand.
