Colombian Singer J Balvin Watch Collection

J Balvin, the global reggaeton sensation, has a remarkable watch collection that mirrors his vibrant personality and eclectic style. The collection stands as clear evidence of his sophisticated taste and passion for timepieces, equalling other significant names in the music world.

Like his peers Jay Z, Bad Bunny, and Maluma, Balvin makes a bold statement in the luxury watch scene with his diverse and vibrant selection of timepieces. His style, as eclectic and dynamic as his music, shines through in his choice of wristwear.

So, let's have a look at J Balvin watch collection.

Like Drake and DJ Khaled, the singer has a Jacob & Co. Five Time Zone in his watch collection. However, his model comes with a silver engine-turned dial instead of a black dial.

The watch is designed to cater to international travelers and watch enthusiasts' needs. This watch stands out with its elaborate dial displaying five different time zones, including New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Paris, and the wearer's local time. Powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement, the Five Time Zone watch marries functionality with bold aesthetics.

The Jacob & Co. GMT World Time, worn by reggaeton singer J Balvin, blends technical sophistication with vibrant aesthetics. Its technicolor dial and 162 baguette-cut gems, set across the case, bezel, and lugs, create a visually striking piece. The watch also offers practicality with a multi-time zone display, showcasing the local time along with four major cities: New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Moscow. This unique combination of style and functionality makes it an ideal accessory for global individuals like J Balvin. 

It is always satisfying for me to see more than one celebrity wearing a watch in one picture, and this picture is an example. Here we see Colombian singer J. Balvin hanging out with Jay Z at Michael Rubin Party in July 2022, and they wear luxury watches.

Balvin was spotted wearing the extremely rare Richard Mille 56-01 in brown sapphire. His watch features a transparent case, making it possible to see the movement assembled from crystal sapphire. It is an exceptional 50mm case timepiece that is only available on the Asian market. The watch is limited to only five pieces and retails for $2,500,000.

While on Jay Z’s wrist, we see one of my favourite Patek Philippe watches: The rose gold Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph 5990/1R with a blue sunburst dial. 

This model combines three highly sought-after complications: a self-winding flyback chronograph, an easy-to-use Travel Time function (dual time-zone), and a date display coupled with local time. It sells on the grey market for around $400,000 (July 2022).

J Balvin added a unique piece to his collection: the RM 12-01 Tourbillon by Richard Mille, made entirely of blue sapphire. Crafting this high-quality case took over 1000 hours of machining, with 430 hours for pre-forming and 350 hours for polishing. Inspired by racing car chassis, the caseband and baseplate are fused into a single piece, enhancing strength and impact resistance. Richard Mille designed this exceptional timepiece specifically for J Balvin, drawing inspiration from Jay-Z's RM056 Tourbillon in blue sapphire. 

Retail price: $3,200,000.

Market price: ~$7,000,000.

Considering one of the most colourful, funnest, and playful modern watches, the Rolex Daytona Rainbow comes in three different models: rose gold (116595RBOW), yellow gold (116598RBOW), and white gold (116599RBOW). The yellow gold and white gold Daytonas were released in 2012 before the rose gold reference in 2018. 

The rose gold is set with 47 sapphires: 36 baguette-cut sapphires decorate the bezel in Rainbow colours, and 11 additional colourful sapphires serving as the hour markers. In the yellow gold and white gold version, there are only 36 baguette-cut sapphires on the bezel and eight brilliant-cut diamonds serving as hour markers. 

In all models, the fun doesn't stop here because there are still 56 brilliant-cut diamonds sitting on the lugs and crown guards. I also should mention the crystallization on the sub-dials giving them a shimmering finish; thus, we can see the white gold, rose gold, or yellow gold crystals.

The watch is currently selling between $500,000 to $700,000 (or probably more) on the secondary market, depending on which model. The rose gold reference has the highest market price. 

The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 116695SATS is an exceptional timepiece, marrying horological excellence with a vibrant, precious gem-set bezel. The bidirectional rotating bezel is adorned with 38 meticulously arranged sapphires in shades of blue, orange, yellow, and pink, accompanied by 8 verdant tsavorites and a singular diamond marking the 12 o'clock position. The harmonious arrangement and uniformity of these carefully selected gems, each exquisite in color and shape, creates a captivating spectacle.

Market price (May 2023): ~$160,000.

Colombian singer @jbalvin was spotted wearing the customized Rolex Milgaus Mickey Mouse by the Bamford Watch Department. The famed watch customizer teamed up with The Rodnik Band and Disney to bring the iconic character to Rolex Milgauss. The limited edition watch comes in matte black PVD or matte titanium.

Price is unknown.

Like the footballer Karim Benzema, Balvin also owns a Royal Oak ‘Rainbow’ Double Balance Wheel Openworked 15412BC in 18k frosted white gold. 

The bezel is set with 32 baguette-cut gemstones of 12 different variations, including ruby, emerald, and sapphires in a range of colors. 

The frosted gold case and bracelet are inspired by a traditional hammered technique used by the craftsmen, where a diamond-tipped graver remove

The Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph 5980/1AR-001 is a luxurious timepiece that blends robust functionality with an alluring aesthetic. It features a unique combination of stainless steel and rose gold, lending a striking balance between sportiness and elegance. 

The 40.5mm case, with its signature porthole design, houses a self-winding automatic movement known for its reliability and precision. The blue gradient dial adds depth and character to the watch, while the gold applied hour markers with luminescent coating ensure easy readability. Adding to its functionality, this model includes a chronograph and date feature, displayed in a single subsidiary dial at 6 o'clock, enhancing the watch's sleek layout. 

The 5980/1AR-001 comes with a dual-tone bracelet crafted with precision to ensure a comfortable fit while echoing the watch's luxurious charm.

 Robert Lewandowski was spotted wearing this watch as well.

The Patek Philippe 5719/10G-010 is an opulent testament to the brand's commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail. This timepiece is beautifully set with a total of 1,343 diamonds, a stunning testament to its extravagance. The diamonds are meticulously arranged on the case, dial, and bracelet of the watch, creating an undeniably luxurious aesthetic.

 The resplendent glow of these precious stones enhances the watch's already sophisticated design, making it a true masterpiece in Patek Philippe's celebrated Nautilus collection. This lavish attention to detail is just one of the many reasons why the Patek Philippe 5719/10G-010 stands out in the world of high-end horology. 

Market price: ~$800,000.

Some celebrities like DJ Khaled, Maluma, Mark Wahlberg, etc. also own this stunner.
