World famous music producer DJ Khaled appeared on Jimmy Fallon earlier this week to promote an upcoming album. He also brought along a Louis Vuitton briefcase full of luxurious watches to show off to the audience.
In this blog, we will break down the top ten of the nearly $5 million worth of watches he carried on to set.
Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph Baguette Diamonds Special Edition
The most expensive watch in his briefcase, and the one that Khaled wore on his wrist during the interview, was a Patek Philippe Nautilus Chorograph (5980/1400R). This is a special edition watch, with baguette diamonds encrusting the bezel and bracelet and marking the hours. Patek Philippe is already one of the most exclusive and highly sought-after luxury watches in the industry, but this being a special edition model with baguette diamonds makes it even more exclusive. This piece is very limited, with a resale range between $650,000 and $1 million!
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar "Cactus Jack"
The second most expensive piece in his briefcase is another limited edition model, an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Cactus Jack” (26585CM.OO.D301VE.01). This model is a perpetual calendar with an openworked dial, and is the first Audemars Piguet to be crafted in brown ceramic. Many rappers have been seen wearing this watch, as it comes from a limited edition collaboration with Travis Scott, only 200 were made! It has a market value around $550,000.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar
He brought another Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar (26585CE.OO.1225CE.01), this time a classic model. It is crafted in black ceramic, with pink gold components encapsulating the subdials. This piece has a market value around $450,000!
Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce “Rainbow”
Khaled clearly has a taste for the exclusive, with a Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce “Rainbow” (7968/300R-001). This is a stunning colorful piece, with a rose gold case and red rubber strap. This item gets the name “rainbow” from the 52 multi-colored sapphires and 50 baguette-cut diamonds in the bezel and clasp. It is a stunner, with a market value around $440,000.
Audemars Piguet Frosted Gold “Rainbow”
Another rainbow piece that we have seen on the wrist of elites and celebrities alike also makes an appearance in Khaled’s collection. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted Gold “Rainbow” (15412BA.YG.1224BA.01-B) is crafted from 18k yellow gold, and features an openworked dial with a double balance wheel. Its main focus point, though, is bezel set with a rainbow of baguette cut gemstones. This piece is hot on the market, with a value around $425,000.
Rolex Daytona "Rainbow"
The third rainbow piece to appear in his collection is an off-catalog Rolex Daytona (116595RBOW). This piece features an 18k everose case, featuring rainbow-colored sapphires in the bezel and hour markers, and diamond-encrusted lugs. These off-catalog pieces are not publicly listed by Rolex, and are extremely rare. It goes for about $400,000 on the market.
Off-Catalog Rolex Daytona Cosmograph
Another off-catalog piece in his collection is the Rolex Daytona Cosmograph (116588SACO). This model features a yellow gold case, black dial, oysterflex bracelet, and baguette-cut sapphires encrusting the lugs and marking the hours. Rolex watches with sapphires with precious stones are very rare, with this model going for around $325,000 on the market.
Rolex Daytona “Saco”
Khaled also owns the Rolex Daytona “Saco” (116578SACO). This case features 18k yellow gold, a mother-of-pearl diamond dial, and a baguette-cut sapphires bezel. This is an extremely stunning and dressy piece, with a market value that can range from around $275,000 to $400,000!
Rolex Daytona “Eye of the Tiger”
Another extremely limited off-catalog piece in Khaled’s collection is the Rolex Daytona “Eye of the Tiger” (116588TBR). This is a stunning piece, with an 18k yellow gold case on an oyster bracelet, baguette-cut diamond-set bezel, and a diamond-encrusted dial with a tiger-motif. This piece is peak luxury, with a market value around $200,000.
Patek Philippe Nautilus Flyback Chronograph
Khaled showed off a Patek Philippe Nautilus Flyback Chronograph (5980/60G-001). It features a white gold case and blue dial, with the chronographs grouped together in one subdial at six o’clock. Khaled joked that this is a casual piece to wear with jeans, as the leather bracelet has a denim design. But there is nothing casual about the price of this Nautilus, however, as it has a market value around $195,000.
