We know Jay-Z as one of the most prominent and successful rappers of all time, but he is much more. Like several of his other singers, including DJ Khaled and Drake, the superstar is an enthusiastic watch collector who enjoys magnificent, one-of-a-kind timepieces. We hone in on his wide collection of timepieces below, showing 5 of Jay-Z’s most expensive watches.
It almost seems too romantic to be true that Jay-Z’s most costly timepiece is a present from his wife, but it is genuine. Beyoncé gave her husband a 5 million birthday present in 2012. The dial, case, and bracelet of this Hublot Big Bаng are all set with 1,282 diamonds in 18K white gold.
Jay-Z was the first celebrity to be sighted wearing a gorgeous Tiffany blue watch created by Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. to mark their cooperation in 2021. Although the watch was sold for much less than a million dollars, the scarcity of only 170 available in the market inflated the price dramatically.
After the first commissioned RM56 Tourbillon in blue sapphire, Alex Todd developed a one-of-a-kind Richard Mille watch for Jay-Z in 2021. The crystal components that enable light to enter highlight this model in green sapphire. Jay-Z’s customization is not just one of the most expensive timepieces in the rapper’s collection, but also in the watchmaker’s overall portfolio.
Jay-Z commissioned jeweler Alex Todd to make this extraordinary piece to commemorate the release of his legendary music album, The Blueprint, in 2019. Except for the brilliant blue sapphire (of which this is the only kind), the watch has the same design and mechanics as the original RM56-01 in clear sapphire (of which there are only five in the world).
The Grandmaster Chime 6300G is one of the most complicated timepieces on the market, with 20 intricacies. The prestigious timepiece has a Grande Sonnerie, moon phase, and the ability to retain the correct date until the year 2100. Jay-Z wore it to Diddy’s 50th birthday party in 2016.
