Everyone has a vice. For Simone Biles, it’s her luxury indulgence. You name it; she has it – handbags, luxury watches, fashion apparel – the list is as long as a NYC traffic jam. Remember the Paris shopping spree or the $151 million worth stunning gold Hermes bag? Now, the queen of flips is back with yet another eye-popping purchase. Nothing could ever match the luxury of time, but this one is a luxurious timepiece. And the reveal had all the jazz, including a tall coffer, complete with a spinning wheel.

This particular beauty was showcased to the world through a series of visuals on her Instagram Stories. The first image featured a Gringotts vault as tall as a giant. A bouquet adorned the front, almost as an offering. The caption read, “good morning :).” The regal scenery was actually inside an Audemars Piguet store, a luxury watchmaker, to add a timepiece to her collection. The next visual was a video of the reveal depicting a salesman opening the box of an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph for the camera.

Inside the box rested a luxury wristwatch with a metallic strap and a light-colored dial, displayed elegantly on a black cushion. The queen of flips’ reaction? “You’re too cute,” she exclaimed. A close-up shot of the wristwatch displayed details – a gold-toned “tapisserie” patterned dial with three subdials and a date display. Its bezel is encrusted with sparkling diamonds. In the next image, the timepiece can be seen worn by Biles, rather than the watch, its her perfectly manicured nails that stole the spotlight.

As if one watch – which no doubt must have cost multiple arms and legs – wasn’t enough, Biles decided to do one better by wearing a smaller yet just as impactful alternative. This one appears to be entirely covered in pave-set diamonds on both the case and the integrated bracelet, giving it a high-end, iced-out look. The dial is a light mother-of-pearl color. At this point, we could have gotten the descriptive wrong. The only person who can explain the sight to behold would be Biles herself. Throw into the mix a hand chain (often called a sautoir or bracelet de main) that trails from the right watch down the hand, featuring several small, round-cut diamonds set at intervals.

A simple reverse image search shows the watch to be priced somewhere close to 50 grand. The smaller alternative – not small in any virtue apart from the size – with a 23mm dial and a frosted finish is priced doubly at close to 107 grand. Biles’ “my 2 babies” caption baffles us, the commoners.
