The Craziest Pieces Uniques Owned by Celebrities

It’s no secret that Hollywood and the world of music and sport have several prominent collectors. Names like John Mayer and Cristiano Ronaldo immediately come to mind. And it’s only natural that some of these personalities own watches made exclusively for them (sometimes even named after them) by some of the most prestigious manufactures. Here are some of these timepieces that made quite an impression on us:

The Rock’s Jacob & Co. Matai Tourbillon

Hollywood star and wrestling icon, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, made a striking appearance at the premiere of Moana 2, donning a breathtaking Jacob & Co. timepiece. The Matai Tourbillon, a custom creation for Johnson, pays homage to his Samoan roots with its name meaning "chief" or "leader" in the language. A true reflection of Johnson's cultural identity, this watch embodies resilience, leadership, and warrior spirit – values that have guided him throughout his career and personal life. The intricate patterns on the black dial draw inspiration from traditional Samoan tattoo art, adding a touch of artistry to the impeccable engineering of the timepiece. The 45mm 18K rose gold case exudes opulence, paired perfectly with a black alligator strap featuring titanium and rose gold deployant buckle.

John Mayer’s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Platinum with Sapphire Set Bezel

In March 2024, Audemars Piguet joined forces with John Mayer to release an exclusive watch: the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar. Around the same time, Mayer was spotted with a Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Piece Unique in platinum. This one also features the coveted “Crystal Sky”, which draws inspiration from the vast expanse of the sky, crafted through a meticulous stamping technique. A brass dial plate showcases a mesmerizing pattern reminiscent of natural crystals, achieved through the intricate electroforming process. A halo of baguette-cut sapphires on the bezel makes this piece even more special.

Kevin O’Leary’s F.P. Journe Tourbillon Souverain with “K” Hour Marker

Canadian entrepreneur, statesman, and co-host of Shark's Tank, Kevin O'Leary is a true watch connoisseur. Among his impressive collection is a custom-made F.P. Journe Tourbillon Souverain. This unique piece boasts a vertical tourbillon, remontoir d'égalité, and deadbeat second that completes one revolution every 30 seconds - much quicker than the standard one minute. The intricate technical features are further accentuated by a cone-shaped mirror-polished ring that reflects light onto the tourbillon cage. As a personal touch, the sundial at 12 o'clock proudly displays a red K for Kevin.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Franck Muller’s Cintreé Tourbillon Fully Set with Baguette Cut Diamonds

Another piece unique that stands out is, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Franck Muller Cintrée Tourbillon. Adorned with baguette-cut diamonds strategically placed on its bezel, this timepiece is a true rarity for the Portuguese striker. And while the estimated price tag of $1.5 million may intimidate some, it's no surprise to see Ronaldo sport this stunning white gold creation on his wrist regularly.

Kaws’ Audemars Piguet x Kaws Royal Oak Selfwinding in White Gold and Platinum

Even before Audemars Piguet announced its highly anticipated collaboration with Kaws earlier this year, the artist was spotted wearing a piece unique he designed in collaboration with the maison. This watch features an elegant white grand tapisserie dial with cross motifs typical of Kaws’ characters located at 3 and 9 o’clock. The case and bracelet of this piece are cast in white gold and platinum.

J Balvin’s Richard Mille RM 12-01 Sapphire Blue Tourbillon

In high-end watches, few pieces capture the imagination as intensely as the Richard Mille RM12-01 ‘Sapphire Blue Tourbillion,’ and none more so than the magnificent specimen owned by global music sensation, J Balvin. This timepiece transcends being a mere watch-- it is an astounding feat of precision engineering. The watch boasts an almost ethereal sapphire crystal case, making it one of the most visually striking and coveted timepieces in existence. Each piece is painstakingly crafted to perfection, adding to the enigma surrounding the RM12-01. With a jaw-dropping price tag of $7,000,000, this watch exemplifies true luxury at its absolute finest.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Breitling Chronomat B01 42 “Giannis Antetokounmpo” with Arabic Numerals

Greek-Nigerian basketball player for the Milwaukee Bucks of the NBA, Giannis Antetokounmpo (also known as “Greek Freak” among his fans and peers) who represented Greece at the 2024 Olympics in Paris owns a one-of-a-kind Breitling Chronomat B01 42 Giannis Antetokounmpo Red Gold with Arabic Numerals 42MM Piece Unique. This timepiece features ancient Western Arabic numerals and a military-green dial, which looks stunning against its rose gold case and bracelet. 

Maluma’s Jacob & Co. “Don Juan”

To celebrate the launch of his album "1 of 1", Maluma called upon the renowned jeweler, Jacob Arabo of Jacob & Co., to create two stunning pieces exclusive to the artist: a custom timepiece and a pendant necklace. Through this collaboration, Maluma and Arabo have also created a one-of-a-kind version of the iconic Opera Godfather watch, known as the "Don Juan" edition. This unique piece, adorned with Maluma's signature purple accents and logo, features the artist's symbolic Crown motif at its center, truly embodying Maluma's personal style and brand.
