Jay Z Watches – Jay Z is well-known for his love of watches, which he takes very seriously, just like his fellow celebrities Drake, DJ Khaled, John Mayer, Mark Wahlberg, etc. Through his lyrics, the singer has introduced us to a few companies, including Hublot and Richard Mille, and has used big events to launch his latest acquisition.

I have compiled ten of the most epic watches the rapper has been spotted with. Let’s check them out from the cheapest one! 

Let start with the cheapest one (in this blog post!). In 2019, when Jay Z held his Shawn Carter Foundation Gala, he was seen wearing a rose gold Rolex Daytona with a chocolate dial. 

Jay-Z was spotted at the courtside during the Hawks vs Charlotte Hornets Game in April 2022 wearing the white gold Patek Philippe World Time New York edition that was released in 2017 to commemorate the Art of Watches Grand Exhibition.

The dial is inspired from the original World Time watch with a New York Skyline pattern for the center. The watch indicates the standard hours and minutes and also boasts 24-hour and day/night indicators for the 24 time zones. This watch surely fits him as a Brooklyn native.

When attending the Game Five of the 2022 NBA Finals at Chase Center in San Francisco, California with his daughter Blue Ivy Carter, the rapper was spotted wearing the vintage yellow gold Patek Philippe Nautilus 3800 set with brilliant-cut diamonds. 

It features a smaller 37.5mm case with an horizontal embossed dark-blue dial with diamond hour markers. 

During the white party held by Michael Rubin on 4 July 2022, Jay Z was seen hanging out with J. Balvin. We can see a beautiful Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph on his wrist. 

The Nautilus with reference number 5990/1R comes in a generous rose gold version contrasting with the sunburst blue dial featuring an embossed horizontal pattern and applied hour-markers.

The baton-style hands are in rose gold with a luminescent coating. This new 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. 

Market price (Dec 2022): ~$333,000.

Attending DJ Khaled Walk of Fame Ceremony earlier in 2022, he was spotted wearing the All Black Ceramic Open Work Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26585CE.

A feat of technical mastery, the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked dresses the artistic openworked sapphire dial and the movement’s visible pink gold components in black ceramic. 

The market price on the secondary price for this beauty ranges from $500,000 to $700,000.

Attending Diddy’s 50^th birthday, Jay Z was seen wearing the white gold Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime 6300G. It is one of the most hyped timepiece in the world and features 20 complications – where some of the abilities are to “chime”, to tell the wearer what phase the moon is in and to keep the date, all the way until the year 2100. 

When Jay-Z initially wore The Blueprint in the spring of 2019, it was the most expensive RM ever manufactured, costing $2 million. That was until he wore another special sapphire Richard Mille 56-01 in green sapphire, which retailed for $3M. 

This photo was shot when the rapper initially displayed his one-of-a-kind RM56-01 Tourbillon in green sapphire. This is one of the most costly timepieces ever produced by the company.

The complete manual winding tourbillon movement is emphasized by sapphire crystal components that allow as much light as possible to reach the calibre. This is Richard Mille’s second one-of-a-kind work commissioned by the millionaire artist; the first was the RM56 Tourbillon in blue sapphire. It is only available in one piece.

Jay-Z was the first celebrity spotted wearing the blue Tiffany Patek that was released in December 2021 to commemorate the long-lasting partnership between Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co.

This model with the typical style of Nautilus combined with the iconic blue turquoise  (or should I say Tiffany?) color for the dial is probably the most hyped and coveted luxury watch on earth nowadays. 

Not only is he known as a successful rapper, but he is also an avid watch collector. Moreover, Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce are Tiffany & Co. brand ambassadors. 

Since this watch is Tiffany and Co.’s exclusive watch, it was not surprising to see him as the first celebrity with it. 

For his birtyday in December 2012, Beyoncé gifted him something that most of us will never see in real life: A Hublot Big Bang worth $5 million. The watch was made of 18-karat white gold and had 1,282 diamonds. When the watch was unveiled in 2012, Hublot stated that it was one of the most valuable timepieces the company had ever created.

The 44 mm diameter watch had an 18-k white-gold case with 302 baguette diamonds. The watch dial was also 18-karat white gold and set with 179 baguette diamonds. Yes, the 18-karat white-gold bracelet was fashioned entirely of 782 baguette diamonds.

So far, this Jay Z watch is the most expensive one in his collection.
