Rachel Yeoh and her fraternal twin Michelle embody confidence and style, making them the ideal match for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Mini

Rachel Yeoh, daughter of YTL Corporation’s Dato’ Sri Michael Yeoh and Datin Sri Tina Yeoh, has forged a distinctive path for herself. She has a fraternal twin named Michelle. Both sisters pursued higher education in the UK, with Rachel earning a law degree and a Master of Fine Arts.

From an early age, Rachel exhibited an innate sense of style, which she has skillfully leveraged throughout her life. Notably, she walked the runway for Dolce & Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week and served as a member of the advisory committee at the British Fashion Council, where she played a key role in deciding the allocation of grants to emerging designers.

But beyond the glamour, Rachel’s life has been shaped by experiences that run much deeper. After spending over a decade living abroad, she discovered an awareness of self that she hadn’t anticipated. “Living and thriving beyond your comfort zone, in both a figurative and literal sense, demands a certain conviction and courage,” she reflects.

This has not only built her confidence but also solidified her understanding of who she is. Her professional journey is equally multifaceted.

She runs her own startup, A.Cross Creations, which specialises in personalised gifts, and is assuming increasing responsibilities in her family business as the executive director of YTL Cement focusing on group strategy and transformation. Balancing the two can be challenging, but Rachel says that she relishes the opportunities these roles present.

“While one is rooted in storytelling through the magic of careful curation and creativity, the impact of the other is evident in the iconic buildings around us,” she explains. This duality in her work gives her purpose and fulfilment.

If you’re among her thousands of Instagram followers, you’ve likely been captivated by Rachel’s numerous travel adventures, from ocean cruises and spotting humpback whales to enjoying sunsets in Tuscany. 

She acknowledges that travel has played a significant role in shaping her worldview. “It has taught me a great deal about the importance of trusting my own instincts,” she says. The freedom to explore different cultures has also instilled in her integrity and accountability. “I feel so lucky to have had the space, time, and freedom to explore the world.”

Rachel’s evolution has fostered a chic and self-assured style that perfectly complements the aesthetics of Audemars Piguet’s new Royal Oak Mini collection. An ode to the petite timepieces from 1997, the Royal Oak Mini Frosted Gold is available in 23mm yellow, pink, and white gold. “It’s impossible to pick a favourite!” exclaims Rachel, who is already a fan of the Royal Oak. “They are all equally beautiful.”

The monochromatic Royal Oak Mini reflects the same blend of daring and elegance Rachel shows in her life and fashion choices. Its frosted gold treatment mirrors her appreciation for craftsmanship, while its timeless design matches her poise. Together, they represent the sophistication that makes the Royal Oak Mini a fitting symbol of Rachel Yeoh.
