Much like a “Spotify Wrapped” for watch enthusiasts, let’s delve into the best celebrity watch spots of the year.
Rihanna’s Dazzling Anklet Timepiece
Amidst the memorable moments of 2024, Rihanna’s unconventional approach to timekeeping stole the internet spotlight. From neck chokers at Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton show to a stunning $400,000 Jacob & Co. watch worn as an anklet, Rihanna’s bespoke timepiece adorned with over 70 carats of diamonds in 18k white gold turned heads. This provocative creation truly earned its place on the podium at Formula 1’s new race track, making a bold statement in horological luxury.
Bad Bunny’s Patek Philippe Statement
In the world of celebrity replica watches, Bad Bunny, aka Benito Martinez Ocasio, made a striking statement courtside at a Lakers game. Wearing a vintage Patek Philippe 2980 estimated at around $90,000, Bad Bunny challenged traditional gender norms associated with watch choices. This 1970s 28mm timepiece, adorned with diamonds and sapphires, exemplifies that diamond watches are indeed for everyone—particularly the extravagantly rich.
Zac Efron’s Hollywood Walk of Fame Grail
Zac Efron, recently honored with a Hollywood Walk of Fame star, showcased his impeccable taste with an IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 42. This 42.4mm timepiece, featuring an 18k 5N gold case and a blue alligator leather strap, complements Efron’s grail collection. The IWC self-winding dress watch, capable of accurately recording date, day, month, leap year, and moon phase for 577 years, ensures Zac Efron’s wrist steals the spotlight for years to come.
Charles Melton’s Tonneau-Shaped Chopard Elegance
Rumored to be a contender for Best Supporting Actor at the 2024 Oscars, Charles Melton not only impresses on-screen but also with his watch choice.

This watch adds a touch of elegance to the circle of celebrity watches.

A cult classic in the Rolex lineup, the Rainbow Daytona stands out as a bold and vibrant choice.

The trio behind ID Geneve created watches sourced entirely from the Swiss circular economy, showcasing recycled steel cases, refurbished movements, and vegetable compost straps.
The Weeknd’s Dazzling Piaget Limelight Gala High Jewellery Watch
Despite the less-than-stellar reception of “The Idol” this year, The Weeknd’s wrist stole the limelight with the Piaget Limelight Gala High Jewellery Watch. Adorned with 782 diamonds, yellow sapphires, and a symphony of luxury, this 32mm masterpiece proves that diamond-studded dials are a timeless addition to any collection.

On the other hand, Ben Affleck’s hands, often associated with Dunkin’ Donuts cups or cigarettes, held a mystery for watch enthusiasts. The return of a custom Franck Muller Cintree, paired with a Chrome Hearts bracelet, unraveled the enigma. Gifted by J-Lo in 2002, this Franck Muller timepiece with a Chrome Hearts bracelet showcased an unexpected yet brilliant juxtaposition.
Tommy Paul’s De Bethune Kind of Blue
In the tennis arena, American player Tommy Paul made a notable statement with his De Bethune Kind of Blue timepiece.
