Twitch streamer xQc is absolutely besotted with his most recent acquisition, an ultra-expensive Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.
XQc, whose real name is Félix Lengyel, shared a picture of his brand-new watch to his 1.5 million followers on Twitter / X and people went absolutely mad in the comment section.
We’re not surprised, to be honest, because this watch is rare – and super expensive.

The timepiece in question is a skeletonized version of Audemars Piguet’s best-seller, the Royal Oak.
In addition to that, it is also adorned with rainbow-colored gems around the bezel.
Meanwhile, the case and integrated bracelet are made from 18k white gold with a ‘frosted’ effect.
The watch costs more than a supercar.
The cheapest one available from Chrono24, the world’s largest watch marketplace, will set you back $300,000.
It’s unclear whether xQc was able to acquire it at retail price from an Audemars Piguet authorized dealer or whether he had to buy one from the pre-owned market.
Either way, it cost more than most people’s homes.
Most of the comments were positive.
“It’s good to treat yourself once in a while,” one user said.
“Many congrats man! Super clean,” another user wrote.
The Royal Oak is the hottest ticket in the watch world at the moment and the hype isn’t dying down.
There are several variations available but, as a general rule, you can’t get one for under five figures.
And that’s for the ‘bog-standard’ stainless steel model.
The price goes up once you start including complications, like a chronograph function for example, or precious metals such as gold or platinum.
The Double Balance Wheel Openworked AP pictured down below is the most expensive Royal Oak in the world at the moment.
It costs $1.7 million.
