The Bape 2011 Type 1 Bapex watch is a limited edition timepiece released by A Bathing Ape (Bape), a Japanese streetwear brand known for its iconic designs and collaborations.
If you'd like to get a cease and desist letter from Rolex, making and selling this watch is a really good way to get started. Down the caseback sticker, Bape prod the Swiss Giant into litigating with them over what defines 'transformative work' and 'clear distinction'.
Anyone familiar with precious metal sports watches is likely to identify this first as the watch it pays homage too, before recognising the sly joke Bape plays on the perceiver and also Rolex.
This watch is available for purchase in-store and online!
