Blac Chyna's Dream Watch Collection: $630K in Rolex & Patek

This is the 40mm Day-Date in solid 18k Everose gold, Rolex's own pink gold alloy that resists fading, on the President bracelet with the fluted bezel. The chocolate dial is the part collectors chase, since the diagonal motif finish catches light in a way a flat sunburst never does, and brown dials on Everose have quietly become one of the hardest color combinations to source in good condition. Inside is the calibre 3235 with a 70-hour power reserve, so it survives a weekend off the wrist without needing a reset. Chyna went for this one early in the episode, and it is the most wearable big-money piece on her list.

The RBR suffix means the bezel diamonds came from Rolex, not from a jeweler down the street, and that distinction is worth thousands on the resale side. The dial is a green ombre that fades from bright emerald at the center to near black at the edge, set with mixed diamond and baguette hour markers, and it is only produced in small numbers each year. At 36mm on a solid yellow gold President bracelet, this is the piece she reached for the moment it came out of the case. It was also the single most photographed watch of her whole visit, which tells you something about how it reads on camera.

Eisenkiesel is a natural iron quartz stone, which means no two dials are the same and Rolex cuts each one by hand from raw material. The dark brown and black web pattern running across this example is what makes stone dial Day-Dates so hard to price, since condition and pattern quality matter as much as the reference number. Diamond-set Roman numerals sit directly on the stone, paired with a fluted Everose bezel and President bracelet. Chyna picked this one after the green ombre, and the two together explain her taste better than anything else on the list: she wants a dial nobody else has.

Two-tone Rolesor took a decade of being unfashionable and then came all the way back, and this is the configuration driving that comeback. The green sunburst dial with Roman numerals is already a limited-run color, and this version adds diamonds set into the IX and VI markers from the factory. Fluted yellow gold bezel, Jubilee bracelet, 36mm case, which is the sizing most women and plenty of men have moved toward over the last few years. At just over $21,000 it was one of the more grounded picks she made, and arguably the smartest one.

If there is a default answer to the question of which watch to buy first, this is it. Oystersteel case, 18k white gold fluted bezel, black baton dial, Jubilee bracelet, calibre 3235 movement. Nothing about it is loud, which is exactly why it has stayed in production in some form for seven decades and why it holds value more reliably than almost anything else Rolex makes. Chyna put it on her list alongside pieces costing five times more, and that says something about how well the plain version still works.

The Wimbledon nickname comes from the slate grey dial and green Roman numerals, a combination Rolex never officially named but everyone in the market calls by that title anyway. It is the single most requested Datejust configuration we get asked about, and demand has kept it trading above the plain dial versions for years now. Fluted white gold bezel, Jubilee bracelet, and a dial that reads charcoal in low light and warm silver in the sun. She picked it as the counterpoint to the green Roman two-tone, which is a genuinely good instinct: same idea, opposite temperature.

The 41mm Datejust with a smooth bezel is the quiet one in the lineup, and it is the version most collectors end up recommending to a first-time buyer. Blue sunburst dial, applied baton markers, Jubilee bracelet, no diamonds and no gold anywhere on it. The smooth bezel keeps the whole watch calm in a way the fluted version does not, and the 41mm case wears larger without feeling oversized. This was the only piece on her list with no stones, no color story, and no rarity angle, which makes it the most honest pick of the bunch.

Ice blue is a color Rolex reserves for platinum only, so the dial itself is proof of what the case is made of before you ever pick the watch up. The 116506 pairs that dial with a brown Cerachrom bezel and platinum Oyster bracelet, and the weight of it on the wrist is the first thing everyone comments on. It is the most expensive Rolex on her list by a wide margin and the only chronograph she chose. The Daytona in platinum has held its position at the top of the modern Rolex market for over a decade, and nothing suggests that changes soon.

Solid 18k yellow gold on a rubber strap is a combination Rolex avoided for most of its history, and the Yacht-Master 42 on Oysterflex is what changed that. The matte black Cerachrom bezel with raised gold numerals sits against a lacquered black dial, and the whole thing reads far more casual than the gold content suggests. Oysterflex is a titanium and nickel blade wrapped in elastomer, so it is nothing like a standard rubber strap in feel or durability. It was her one true sports watch pick, and the only piece on her list she could take in a pool without thinking about it.

The Cellini line is where Rolex put everything that did not fit the Oyster formula, and the 1990s pieces like this 6622 are the last genuinely affordable way into solid gold Rolex. Sculpted 18k yellow gold case, cream dial with applied gold Roman numerals, brown leather strap, no water resistance to speak of and no reason for any. At around $6,000 it is the cheapest watch on her entire list by a factor of two, and the one most likely to get mistaken for a piece of jewelry rather than a watch. Vintage Cellini values have been climbing steadily as buyers realize the entry point will not stay this low.

The 7010G-013 is the ladies Nautilus in 18k white gold with 46 brilliant-cut diamonds set into the rounded octagonal bezel, roughly 0.8 carats in total. What makes this one different is the azure blue lacquered dial, a brighter and more saturated blue than the usual Nautilus navy, carrying the horizontal wave pattern under white gold applied markers. It runs on the quartz calibre E23-250 S C at 32mm, and it comes on a matching azure composite strap rather than a bracelet. This was the piece Chyna spent the longest with, and at roughly $84,000 it is the second most expensive watch she chose.

This is the kind of Patek that gets overlooked until someone puts it on. A rectangular 18k yellow gold case with an integrated bark-finish bracelet, hand-wound movement, and a matching textured dial with applied gold batons, all from the 1970s when Patek was building watches that doubled as jewelry. There is no date, no seconds hand, and nothing on the dial except the name. At around $10,000 it is one of the few ways into a solid gold Patek Philippe under five figures, and vintage gold Patek has been one of the steadiest segments of the market for the last several years.

Audemars Piguet worked with Florentine jeweler Carolina Bucci to mark forty years of the ladies Royal Oak, and the result was a 37mm case and bracelet hammered with a diamond-tipped tool until the gold looks like it has been dusted with light. The technique is Florentine goldsmithing, not a coating, so the finish is part of the metal itself. Production was limited to 300 pieces per version, powered by the automatic calibre 3120 with a display caseback. At roughly $120,000 this is the most expensive watch on her entire list, and the one she reacted to hardest when it came out of the case.

The 33mm Royal Oak keeps every element of the Gerald Genta original at a size that actually suits a smaller wrist, including the eight hexagonal screws and the Grande Tapisserie dial. Here the bezel carries factory-set brilliant-cut diamonds, which matters, since AP will not service a Royal Oak that has been stone-set outside the manufacture. The dial is black tapisserie with applied white gold markers and a date at three, running on the quartz calibre 2713. Chyna picked this one out of the case herself, and it is the most practical Royal Oak on the list by a wide margin.

This is the Royal Oak from the era when Audemars Piguet was still figuring out what the model could be, built in solid 18k yellow gold with a quartz movement and a silver tapisserie dial. The proportions are smaller and flatter than anything AP makes today, and the integrated bracelet tapers in a way the modern versions do not. Vintage gold Royal Oaks trade in a narrow market with very few clean examples left, so condition drives price far more than the reference number does. At around $22,000 it is the cheapest entry to a solid gold Royal Oak that exists, and she clocked that immediately.
