While some may think that a house, car, or yacht are the most expensive things you can buy, luxury watches are high on the list of pricey investments. Celebrities such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylie Jenner, Conor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather, and more have all been spotted wearing millions of dollars’ worth of precious metals and gems on their wrists.
Luxury watches are so high in quality that they are almost always limited-edition, reserved for only a few exclusive owners. Much like a custom Lexus sports car or a one-of-a-kind mansion in L.A., luxury watches aren’t produced by the millions. They have only a handful of wearers, and the celebrities on this list have found themselves lucky enough to own the world’s most expensive timepieces.
1. Cristiano Ronaldo’s Franck Muller Round
Watch brand: Franck Muller
Price: $1.5 million*
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most famous athletes in the world, and he has a net worth that is nearing half a billion (and only increasing as the years go on). He owns quite a few luxury timepieces, including this Franck Muller Round.
He showed off the Round on his Instagram, where it was revealed that it cost around $1.5 million. According to Muller, his Round Collection “reaffirms” the brand’s “mastery of watchmaking.” The Geneva-based company has sold watches to some of the biggest celebrities in the world, including Elton John, the late Robin Williams, Demi Moore, and, of course, CR7 himself.
2. Conor McGregor’s Jacob & Co Rasputin Tourbillon Full Baguette With White Diamonds
Watch brand: Jacob & Co.
Price: $2 million*
Jacob & Co., a watch company founded by immigrants fleeing the USSR decades ago, is quickly proving itself to be a celebrity favorite. Conor McGregor, a talented MMA fighter who is famously outspoken, is a fan of the brand, and he owns a Rasputin Tourbillon Full Baguette. Set with 187 baguettes, this white-gold watch retails for around $2 million.
McGregor has a net worth of $200 million, thanks to big paydays from fights. He also has his own lucrative whiskey brand, Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey, which is quickly setting itself up to compete with big-name brands like Johnnie Walker, Maker’s Mark, and Jack Daniel’s.
3. Travis Scott’s Patek Philippe 5131G World Time
Watch brand: Patek Philippe
Price: $125,000*
Travis Scott and his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, have their love of Patek Philippes in common. Travis Scott owns a Patek 5131G World Time watch, a rare, sought-after timepiece. The enamel dials on the World Time aren’t even in production anymore—that’s how rare this watch is.
The World Time is unique because it shows the time of all of the world’s major cities. The white-gold watch costs around $125,000. The rapper was spotted with it sparkling on his wrist during his twenty-ninth birthday, no doubt immediately inspiring envy in the timepiece collectors who recognized it for what it was. According to The New York Times, it takes people around eight years to find one of these prized watches.
4. Eric Clapton’s Patek Philippe 2499
Watch brand: Patek Philippe
Price: $3.65 million*
Patek Philippe watches are already famously expensive, but when you add a celebrity’s name to the tag of former ownership, they appreciate rapidly in value. Such was the case with rocker Eric Clapton’s former Patek Philippe 2499, which sold at auction for $3.65 million, thanks to its dual ties with the singer and the Swiss luxury label.
Apparently, Clapton was in an offloading phase when it came to his timepieces, as the Michelob spokesman also sold his JP Champion’s Observatory Chronometer for $4 million and his Platinum 1579 for $1.63 million. The watches, fittingly, were auctioned off by Christie’s in Geneva, the same city in which Patek Philippe was founded in 1839.
5. Kylie Jenner’s 18KT White Gold Patek Philippe
Watch brand: Patek Philippe
Price: $453,000*
Kylie Jenner is one of the richest twenty-somethings in the world, thanks to her Kylie Cosmetics company. The company, which has an extensive selection of products, brings in over $300 million in revenue per year. As a result, Kylie has a lot of money, and she likes to spend it rather lavishly.
For example, she owns an eighteen-carat white gold Patek Philippe watch, a beautiful timepiece from the Swiss watchmaker, who has become known for exclusivity and luxury. Jenner was spotted wearing the white-gold, diamond encrusted watch out and about L.A. Surely, we’ll see this gorgeous, $453,000 watch on her and her family’s latest Hulu reality show, The Kardashians.
6. Jay-Z’s Hublot Big Bang
Watch brand: Hublot
Price: $5 million*
Talk about a birthday present! For his forty-third birthday, Beyonce gave her husband, rapper Jay-Z, a Hublot Big Bang watch worth $5 million. The watch’s expensive price tag comes from the fact that it is covered in 1,282 diamonds, creating a luminous, flashy surface accented by the Big Bang’s white gold.
The watch, which contains over 100 carats of baguette diamonds, is one of the most expensive in Jay-Z’s collection. Hublot, a Swiss watchmaker, is known for its daring timepieces. The price of its Big Bang is the equivalent of nearly 176 2022 Ford Mustangs. The Big Bang didn’t put a dent in Queen Bey’s wallet, as the superstar singer is worth around $500 million.
7. Rafael Nadal’s Richard Mille RM 27-03 Tourbillon Rafael Nadal
Watch brand: Richard Mille
Price: $870,000*
Occasionally, Richard Mille, a luxury watchmaker, will team up with superstar athletes, actors, and other influential celebrities to create a watch named after them. Such is the case with tennis star Rafael Nadal, who had his own Richard Mille RM 27-3 Tourbillon created in his honor.
The RM 27-03 can resist up to 10,000 G-shocks, and it is highly-stylized, sharp, and streamlined. It is inspired by Rafael’s killer on-court play, which dominated SGBI for decades. This unique-looking watch is worth around $870,000, making it available to only the wealthiest tennis fans—and Nadal himself, of course.
8. Ryan Gosling’s Rolex Air-King “Super Precision”
Watch brand: Rolex
Price: $10 million*
Ryan Gosling, a Hollywood heartthrob, has an expensive taste in watches (though it’s not clear if he purchased this vintage Rolex or just rented it). Gosling was spotted at a black-tie event wearing a 34mm Rolex Air King Super Precision, which featured a smooth bezel and stainless steel.
Produced from 1957 to 1990, earlier versions of the Super Precision can sell for up to $10 million. The one Gosling wears here is a model from the late 1950s, a time when MGM drive-in movies, sock hops, and poodle skirts reigned supreme. The Super Precision matched Gosling’s look perfectly, as he was dressed in a black-and-white tux—a truly classic Hollywood look.
9. Floyd Mayweather’s Jacob & Co Billionaire
Watch brand: Jacob & Co
Price: $18 million*
Floyd Mayweather is one of the most successful, wealthiest professional athletes of all time. The semi-retired, undefeated boxer owns a lot of expensive watches, the most jaw-dropping of which is his Jacob & Co. Billionaire. This watch is worth around $18 million, ranking it as one of the world’s most expensive timepieces.
There are many diamond-encrusted, flashy watches out there, but there is only one Jacob & Co. Billionaire. Mayweather’s net worth is $450 million as of 2022, and the Mayweather Promotions CEO is well on his way to becoming a billionaire eventually. Though he might not have as much money as Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos or Tesla’s Elon Musk, there’s no denying that Mayweather is one of the world’s richest men.
10. Brad Pitt’s Patek Philippe Nautilus
Watch brand: Patek Philippe
Price: $150,000-$300,000*
Brad Pitt is an A-list celebrity who has been a Hollywood mainstay since he was a lone hitchhiker in Thelma & Louise. Fans might not know that Pitt is a huge watch collector, and he owns many pricey models, including this Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711.
He was gifted the Patek by his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, to celebrate their engagement in 2012 (he also gave her a watch, too). The couple went through a rather tumultuous split in 2016, so it’s unclear whether he kept this timepiece. The 5711 with a blue dial, the model Pitt has, is one of the most sought-after in the world, and it has a value of $150,000 to $300,000. Needless to say, it is hard to find–it’s not exactly a watch you could pick up at Walmart.
11. Drake’s Richard Mille RM 69
Watch brand: Richard Mille
Price: $750,000*
If you listen to Drake’s music, then you’ve probably heard the rapper boast about his Richard Mille watch a few times. He’s not wrong to do so, either, as this watch, an RM 69, is very impressive. Drake’s 69 is exclusive and expensive, costing around $750,000. Only thirty of these timepieces have been produced.
The rapper is far from the only artist to own a timepiece by Richard Mille, though Drizzy’s watch collection is one of the most impressive in the industry. He also owns an RM 56-01 (among other models), a timepiece that cost him a cool $2.2 million, thanks to its craftsmanship and rarity.
12. Cristiano Ronaldo’s Rolex GMT Master II Ice
Watch brand: Rolex
Price: $485,350*
Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo has frequently been spotted wearing one of the most expensive watches in the world, a Rolex GMT-Master II Ice. This timepiece, made with thirty carats of diamonds and 18-carat white gold, is priced at $485,350. This makes it the priciest watch Rolex has ever made for the public.
That half-a-million price tag won’t put a dent in Ronald’s pocket, as he is worth hundreds of millions. The hefty price is due to the fact that nearly every square centimeter on the aptly-named Ice is coated with diamonds. Baguette-cuts, rounds, honeycombs—this watch has them all, packed into one timepiece.
13. Angelina Jolie’s Patek Philippe Minute Repeater
Watch brand: Patek Philippe
Price: $390,000*
Remember Brangelina? The days of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie dating seem so long ago, even though their split is still being finalized by the courts. But, cast your minds back to a happier time when the two were about to get married. In 2012, as a pre-wedding present, Brad Pitt bought Angelina Jolie this elegant, simple watch.
Don’t let its simplicity and minimalism fool you. This watch is made by luxury watchmaker Patek Philippe. Called the Minute Repeater, this timepiece cost Pitt a cool $390,000, as it was made by one of the world’s most detailed, luxurious craftsmen.
14. Post Malone’s Richard Mille RM 052 Tourbillon Skull “Asia Edition”
Watch brand: Richard Mille
Price: $501,220*
These days, you can’t turn on the radio without running into a Post Malone song. The singer-songwriter might be known for being down-to-earth, but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t know how to turn up the heat when it comes to his jewelry. Malone is an admirer of Rolex, but he also loves a great Richard Mille.
He owns a RM 053 Tourbillon Skull “Asia Edition” watch worth over half a million dollars. The unique, rare, skull-printed watch is laden with diamonds. It is a descendant of the RM 052, an equally-rare offering from the famed Swiss watchmaker.
15. John Mayer’s Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph 5970G
Watch brand: Patek Philippe
Price: $235,000*
The Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph 5970G is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it is a classic timepiece from the famed luxury watchmaker. John Mayer has been spotted wearing this platinum watch onstage, and it is one of several Perpetual Calendars he has owned.
In “Talking Watches” with Hodinkee in 2013, Mayer said that the Perpetual Calendar was “as good as it may ever get,” as far as watchmaking goes. He’s worn several of these Patek Philippes, including a 5270G that he donned to the Grammy Awards one year. His 5970G is one of his latest additions to his collection.
16. Ed Sheeran’s 5208p Grand Complication
Watch brand: Patek Philippe
Price: $960,000*
Though singer Ed Sheeran might not seem like a flashy guy, the “Shape of You” crooner has expensive tastes when it comes to watches. He’s been spotted wearing a 5208P Grand Complication from Patek Philippe, a timepiece that features a minute repeater and monopusher chronograph, among other features.
Want to own one of these watches yourself? Be prepared to shell out a lot of money, as this 5208P has a retail price of $960,000. Even used watches aren’t all that cheap, as they cost anywhere from $40,000 to $80,000. They’re a rare find, as people don’t exactly part with their Patek Philippes easily.
17. Kanye West’s Tiret Custom
Watch brand: Tiret
Price: $180,000*
Are we really surprised by this watch? Rapper Kanye West blew $180,000 on this Tiret Custom gold watch. He had it customized and adorned with an imprint of his own face. The “Kanye” part of the watch was made from eight carats of brown, yellow, and black diamonds. Kanye had the watch commissioned on a timeline of five months.
The dial of the watch was created using mother-of-pearl tinted gold. Tiret, a watch company founded in 2004, has quickly picked up a reputation as being a favorite of rappers and other celebrities, as they can customize any watch with their colorful selection of diamonds.
18. Pharrell’s Richard Mille RM 25-01
Watch brand: Richard Mille
Price: $983,000*
Record producer and rapper Pharrell has a net worth of $250 million, thanks to hits like “Happy,” “Milkshake,” “Alright,” “Grindin’,” “Frontin’,” and more. He has been the brains behind not only his own hit records, but the hit records of many of the most popular artists in the music industry today.
Pharrell is a fan of jewelry, and he’s not afraid to spend on classic timepieces like the RM 25-01, which is worth around $983,000. The Tourbillon Adventure Watch is extremely limited-edition, with just twenty pieces in existence worldwide. Even used RM 25-01s hold their value, as they are priced at around $950,000.
19. Kevin Hart’s Patek Philippe Celestial 6102R
Watch brand: Patek Philippe
Price: $450,000*
Kevin Hart has an impressive watch collection, and his Patek Philippe Celestial 6102R is perhaps one of his most impressive pieces. The watch is part of Patek’s Master Complication Collection, which is special because it is handmade by one person from its inception to completion.
The Celestial is self-winding, featuring a Milky Way design atop a black sapphire crystal disc. The band, for its part, is made from crocodile leather. It is an homage to Patek Philippe’s tradition of creating watches inspired by the heavens. The Patek isn’t cheap, and it cost Kevin Hart (who has a net worth of $450 million) around $450,000.
20. Odell Beckham Jr’s Richard Mille RM 56-02 Tourbillon Sapphire
Watch brand: Richard Mille
Price: $2.02 million*
Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is known for his explosive talent on the field, and that has led him to some lucrative contracts. The NFL star is paid well, as he has been spotted wearing some super-pricey jewelry, including a Richard Mille RM 56-02 Tourbillon Sapphire. The price tag on this watch is around $2.02 million.
ODB was spotted in this watch before his Cleveland Browns game, catching the attention of both fans and haters alike. In 2018, the wide receiver signed a five-year, $92 million contract with the Browns. There’s been some contract issues with Cleveland that have made the headlines, and ODB’s net worth is around $40 million as of 2022.
21. Drake’s Patek Phillippe “40th Anniversary Edition” Nautilus
Watch brand: Patek Philippe
Price: $250,000*
One of the most expensive watches in Drizzy’s collection is his Patek Philippe 40th Anniversary Edition Nautilus. The anniversary watch was spotted in Drake’s family photos recently, and it was made to celebrate an important date for the model, hence its “1976-40-2016” numbers.
Just 1,300 were made, and the price tag is steep, as these Nautilus models sell for around $250,000. Even Drake, who is known for customizing his watches, knew he couldn’t mess with perfection, as he chose to leave the Nautilus as-is, refusing any customization on it.
22. Jackie Chan’s Richard Mille RM 57-01 Jackie Chan
Watch brand: Richard Mille
Price: $1.92-$3 million*
Jackie Chan is an icon, as he has had a prolific film career as one of the most talented onscreen martial artists of all time. After almost fifty years in the film business, Chan has a net worth of $400 million. His Rush Hour franchise alone grossed well over $800 million at worldwide box offices.
Chan teamed up with watchmaker Richard Mille to make the RM 57-01 Jackie Chan. The rose gold watch features a dragon and a phoenix on its face, two mythical creatures that are incredibly important to China. The dragon symbolizes good luck, health, and strength, while the phoenix symbolizes resurrection and power.
23. Ellen Degeneres’ Rolex Daytona “John Player” Special
Watch brand: Rolex
Price: $750,000*
Ellen DeGeneres is known for being a funny woman and talk show host, but her fans might not realize that she also has a serious passion for watches. DeGeneres owns a vintage Daytona John Player Special Edition Rolex, which is valued at around $750,000.
She picked it up in Amsterdam, where she and her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, visited the jewelry store of her friend Jasper Lijfering. She purchased several pieces from Amsterdam Vintage Watches, including two Big Red Daytonas, the John Player, a Patek Philippe Nautilus from the 1970s, and a Pepsi GMT from the fifties.
24. Charlie Sheen’s Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Watch
Watch brand: Patek Philippe
Price: $700,000*
Eccentric actor Charlie Sheen owns quite a few Patek Philippe watches, chief among them being the Perpetual Calendar. A favorite among celebrities (and other wealthy individuals), the Perpetual Calendar is quite different from the Rolex Yacht Master that Sheen wore on Two and a Half Men.
The Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar is made from eighteen-carat yellow gold, and it has three subsidiary dials (month, week, and year). Fitted with dauphine hands and yellow-gold indexes, this timepiece is pure sophistication. Its price is anywhere from $200,000 to $1.28 million, depending on the model. Sheen’s particular Perpetual Calendar cost him $700,000.
25. Sylvester Stallone’s Panerai Luminor
Watch brand: Panerai
Price: $214,200*
If you saw the movie Daylight, you might have wondered what kind of watch Sylvester Stallone was wearing. It was a Panerai Luminor, and he would later go on to sell it at auction for $214,200. Daylight, which came out in 1996, was an action-thriller starring Stallone as a man who has to save a bunch of people, including himself, from a tunnel collapse.
Panerai, for those who aren’t familiar with the brand, is a subsidiary of Rolex. The brand became famous during WWII, as the watches were worn by the Decima Flottiglia MAS, an elite faction of the Italian Navy, during their operations.
26. The Duchess Of Cambridge’s Cartier Ballon Bleu
Watch brand: Cartier
Price: $6,300*
The Duchess of Cambridge makes a fashion statement wherever she goes. Whatever she buys and wears in public tends to sell out the next day, though, when it comes to her Cartier Ballon Bleu watch, that might be a little harder for everybody to purchase. After all, this pricey piece of jewelry costs $6,300.
The Ballon Bleu 33mm watch is perfect for Kate Middleton’s style, as it is elegant, subtle, and fashionable. It features automatic winding, a fluted crown, and a cabochon synthetic spinel. The Ballon Bleu, which Kate was first spotted wearing in 2014, is a somewhat new creation from Cartier, a famous luxury brand.
27. Rihanna’s Rolex President Day Date 36
Watch brand: Rolex
Price: $18,499*
The Rolex President Day Date 36 is a yellow gold, 18-carat watch that has been the preferred choice of celebrities and politicians for years. Rihanna, a superstar singer and businesswoman, has been seen wearing the Date 36 quite a few times while out and about. It is one of Rolex’s most easy-to-recognize timepieces.
The gold watch, which has a champagne dial, is exclusive and oversized, though in a tasteful way. This elegant timepiece seems to be a preferred favorite of Rihanna, who reportedly keeps it in her daily rotation. Want one? The price will set you back around $18,499.
28. Daniel Craig’s Omega Seamaster 300
Watch brand: Omega
Price: $9,200*
The Omega Seamaster 300 is the perfect watch for former James Bond Daniel Craig. According to Dawson Auctions, these watches tend to appreciate over time, so, if Craig ever wants to sell his off, he’s sure to make quite a bit of cash. Craig has been seen wearing this watch in movies, as well as on the red carpet.
He’s an Omega man to the end, even when he’s not playing M16’s biggest headache. The Omega Seamaster 300 is a dive watch with cutting-edge technology, and it is priced at around $9,200 (though prices may vary, depending on who the retailer is).
29. Lionel Messi’s Jacob & Co. Epic X Chrono Messi Edition
Watch brand: Jacob & Co.
Price: $30,000*
Lionel Messi is one of the greatest soccer players in contemporary history, and Jacob & Co. wanted to partner with him to create a watch inspired by his feats. In March of 2019, the watchmaker unveiled its first collaboration-created watch, the Epic X Chrono Messi Edition.
The watch costs $30,000, and its creation was limited to just thirty pieces. It features a sporty design (arguably the sportiest in the Jacob & Co. lineup), as well as the colors of the Argentinian flag and Messi’s number 10. You also can see the soccer star’s “M” logo, stylized to perfection, on the case back.
30. Seal’s Richard Mille Gold Watch
Watch brand: Richard Mille
Price: $3 million*
British singer Seal has sold more than 20 million records worldwide, and he has a net worth in the millions as a result. He is most famous for his song “Kiss From A Rose,” which was released in the 1990s and hasn’t slowed down since. Seal’s singing career might have simmered a bit, but he is still quite busy, making TV appearances and judging peoples’ singing on The Voice.
He must be getting paid well, as he owns a Richard Mille RM-057, the watch that Richard Mille created in collaboration with Jackie Chan. This watch is priced at up to $3 million on some sites like Chrono24.
31. Kanye West’s Bape G-Shock Watch
Watch brand: Casio
Price: $1,581*
Remember the G-Shock? This watch became a favorite of celebrities like Justin Bieber, Pharrell, Usher, and Kanye West in the 2000s and early 2010s. The rugged watch was a favorite of Ye especially, as he owned the limited-edition Bape Montre, which cost around $1,581.
People loved G-shock watches, and they are still reasonably popular today, though they’re not in their heyday anymore. These watches are tough, built with shockproof construction. G-shocks are known for being reliable and high-quality, steadily telling the time even in the roughest of conditions. You can snag a new one now for anywhere from $100 to $200.
32. Tyler The Creator’s Casio MQ24-9B
Watch brand: Casio
Price: $13.39*
Tyler the Creator is a rapper and producer with a net worth of $16,000, thanks to hit singles like “See You Again,” “IFHY,” “NEW MAGIC WAND,” and more. The rapper, despite his riches, chooses to live a lowkey lifestyle, at least when it comes to watches.
Onstage, Tyler has been spotted wearing the Casio MQ24-9B Classic Analog Watch. This lowkey watch is functional, but it’s certainly not going to reach heirloom status. You can find one on Amazon for around $13.39 (to be fair, it has a 4.4/5-star rating out of 2,550 reviews). Who needs an expensive watch, anyway?
33. Usher’s Customized Tiret Watch
Watch brand: Tiret
Price: $250,000*
Tiret is known for its ability to customize watches, creating faces, shapes, and more out of colorful diamonds that lay atop the face of the brand’s timepieces. Usher was one of many celebrities to go to Tiret for a custom watch, and Tiret made him one for the steep price of $250,000.
The Usher Watch features Usher’s face on the top of it, created from gold, brown, and multi-colored diamonds. The singer is known for his watch-collecting passion, so it’s no surprise he hit up Tiret for a Kanye-style customization.
34. Leonardo DiCaprio’s Patek Philippe Nautilus With A Tiffany-Blue Dial
Watch brand: Patek Philippe
Price: $3.2 million*
Leonardo DiCaprio is one of Hollywood’s greatest stars, but that isn’t his only achievement. The Wolf of Wall Street actor is also part of an elite group, as he is one of few people to own a Patek Philippe Nautilus with a striking Tiffany Blue dial. The watch is hard to find, with examples selling for around $3.2 million, if not more.
The watch officially retails, now, for $52,000. But, demand far outstripped supply when Patek Philippe released this watch, and some collectors were willing to pay millions for first editions. DiCaprio, who has a net worth of $300 million, was easily able to afford such a pricey treasure.
35. Cardi B’s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
Watch brand: Audemars
Price: $300,000*
Cardi B and her husband, rapper Offset, are known for giving each other lavish gifts, and Mother’s Day in 2022 was no exception. Offset, with whom Cardi shares two kids, got his wife a $300,000 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch. Cardi posted the pricey watch on her Instagram, thanking Offset in the caption.
Used models sell for $50,000 to $95,000, but Offset wanted to get Cardi only the best for the holiday. The reason Audemars Piguets are so expensive is because there are very few pieces made. The more unique the watch, the more it can be personalized (and the price hiked up).
36. John Mayer’s Rolex Daytona
Watch brand: Rolex
Price: $80,000*
Singer John Mayer is a huge fan of collecting watches, and he owns quite a few Rolexes. He has become so associated with the brand that the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, a watch he is seen wearing frequently, is often referred to as the “John Mayer Edition” of the Daytona Series.
The yellow-gold Daytona has a unique green dial. Mayer has been effusive in singing this watch’s praises, no doubt driving up sales in the process. The Daytona was first released in 2016, and demand was not high until more and more Hollywood stars were spotted in this gold-and-green timepiece.
37. Justin Timberlake’s Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40
Watch brand: Rolex
Price: $65,000*
Justin Timberlake is one of many celebrities who have a passion for collecting watches that cost more than a car. Timberlake owns a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date 40, and he has been seen wearing it on social media, at awards shows, and just casually walking around L.A.
The Rolex Day Date has almost 75 grams of fine gold, as well as nearly 100 grams of 18-carat gold. Rolex released this relatively new model in 2015, announcing that the 40mm was going to be an update to the Day Date. It is a bit larger than other Day Dates, as it is 40mm, while its predecessors are only 36.
38. Jennifer Lopez’s Rolex Day-Date 40
Watch brand: Rolex
Price: $65,000*
Jennifer Lopez and her ex-boyfriend, Alex Rodriguez, might not have made it work between them, but they do share one thing in common. The two both own a Rolex Day-Date 40, the white gold anniversary edition timepiece that was released by Rolex a few years ago as an update over the 36mm version.
The dancer, actress, and singer’s yellow gold watch has a lacquered green dial and golden Roman numerals. A. Rod, for his part, has a Day Date 40 made from platinum, one of the heaviest, most visually-striking metals in the world.
39. Jay-Z’s Patek Phillipe Grandmaster Chime
Watch brand: Patek Philippe
Price: $3.6 million*
Jay Z made all the headlines when the rapper was seen (in a photoshoot with fellow mogul P. Diddy) wearing a Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime. This watch is one of the most hyped in his collection, even more than the Hublot that his wife, Beyonce, got him for his birthday.
The Grandmaster Chime, one of the most epic watches from Patek Philippe, costs well over $3 million, and it has twenty complications. It can “chime,” meaning that it tells the wearer the moon phase. The Grandmaster Chime can keep the date all the way to 2100, seventy-plus years in the future.
40. Kylie Jenner’s 38mm Hublot Classic Fusion King Gold Pave
Watch brand: Hublot
Price: $30,000*
The 38mm Hublot Classic Fusion King Gold Pave watch is a unique design from the famed luxury watchmaker. It has a lot of power, as it has MP-11, Tourbillon, and Meca-10 calibers. The gold watch features 18-carat gold and over 130 diamonds totaling a carat. The screws are made of titanium, adding to the $30,000 price tag.
Kylie Jenner, among other celebrities, was spotted wearing this golden Hublot while partying in L.A. Jenner owns quite a few classic watches, and this one is a fan favorite. In fact, the young Kylie Cosmetics CEO has emerged as one of Hollywood’s most avid watch collectors.
41. James Corden’s Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Selfwinding
Watch brand: Audemars
Price: $60,000-$70,000*
If you’ve seen Carpool Karaoke, the clip for which talk show host James Corden is best-known, then you have probably seen Corden donning a few watches as he drives celebrities around. Corden wears an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Watch most frequently, and he picked up that pricey timepiece as his status and show grew to new heights.
The Royal Oak was, when it was introduced, hailed as the world’s first luxury, steel sports watch, and it is beloved for its unique octagonal bezel. Corden is far from the only celebrity to wear this Audemars—Jay Z and Arnold Schwarzenegger have also been seen wearing it, too.
42. Rihanna’s Chopard Happy Sport
Watch brand: Montblanc
Price: $6,430*
Singer Rihanna has quite a few watches in her daily rotation, but one of her favorites is the Chopard Happy Sport. This four-figure watch is 32mm, made from 18-carat white gold and diamonds that made it a hard-to-miss sparkler.

It was far from the first time Malek donned this four-figure timepiece, as he also wore it to host the Emmys in 2016. This watch seems to be a lucky one for Malek, as the Bohemian Rhapsody star always has it strapped to his wrist during pivotal moments of his career.

The Rolex Turn-O-Graph was estimated to sell at a price point of $20,000 to $40,000. This Rolex is important to the brand because it laid the foundation for the famous Submariner, which, for some reason, debuted the same year the Turn-O-Graph did.
