Jay-Z is well-known as one of the most well-known and successful rappers of all time, but he is much more. The superstar, like some of his fellow artists, including DJ Khaled and Drake, is an avid watch collector who enjoys spectacular, one-of-a-kind timepieces. We focus on his extensive watch collection below, displaying 5 of Jay-Z’s most expensive watches.

Jay-Z’s most expensive timepiece is a gift from his wife, which almost seems too romantic to be true, but it is. In 2012, Beyoncé gave her husband a $5M birthday gift. This Hublot Big Bang’s dial, case, and bracelet are all set with 1,282 diamonds in 18K white gold.

Jay-Z was the first celebrity to be photographed wearing a stunning Tiffany blue watch designed by Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. to commemorate their collaboration in 2021. Although the watch was sold for far less than a million dollars, the rarity of only 170 available in the market significantly increased the price.

Alex Todd created a one-of-a-kind Richard Mille watch for Jay-Z in 2021, following the first commissioned RM56 Tourbillon in blue sapphire. This style in green sapphire is highlighted by the crystal components that let light to penetrate. Jay-Z’s customised wristwatch is not only one of the most expensive in the rapper’s collection, but also in the watchmaker’s total portfolio.

Jay-Z commissioned jeweller Alex Todd to create this remarkable piece in honour of the 2019 release of his famous music album, The Blueprint. 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) except for the brilliant blue sapphire (which is the only kind).

With 20 complexities, the Grandmaster Chime 6300G is one of the most intricate clocks on the market. The distinguished timepiece features a Grande Sonnerie, moon phase, and the capacity to keep the accurate date until 2100. In 2016, Jay-Z wore it to Diddy’s 50th birthday party.
