auditctl -w /path/to/file
You aren't seeing a record because stat is not included in any of the
syscall classes. I believe it was omitted because it has a tendency
to fill up audit logs.
You can audit this event by specifying the syscall directly, e.g.
auditctl -a exit,always -S stat -F path=/path/to/file
