Jay-Z Rocked an Ultra-Rare Patek Philippe Annual Calendar at the Lakers Game
Jay-Z won big points for style last night while seated courtside.
The rapper from Blueprint made a statement on Wednesday when he attended the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Los Angeles Clippers game at the City of Angels. For the event, the father of three looked great in pleated pants and a solid black hoodie. Then, he elevated the ensemble with striking accessories including an Off-White for Nike Air Jordan 1s scarf, sunglasses with a paisley print, and sunglasses. The finest element of the look, though, was Hov’s opulent watch, which countered the high-low tone of the outfit.
On February 28, Jay-Z is at the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Los Clippers game.
The Tiffany-stamped Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph, a 40 mm watch, is made of 18-karat rose gold. Eight 0.23 carat baguette diamond hour markers set against a brilliant casing set in an ebony black opaline dial really sparkle. However, it is by no means the 24-time Grammy winner’s sufficient bling. This is where the red carpet-ready watch’s gem-set bezel, which is adorned with 36 baguette diamonds totaling 3.48 carats, comes into play.
Rapper 5961R can track elapsed time with its chronograph mode, which has a 60-minute and 12-hour mono-counter. The watch face also shows its annual calendar, which has apertures that show the day, date, and months. Another noteworthy feature is a day-date window that is positioned on the hour marker at 12 o’clock. It also has a day/night indication and the brand’s name in the center.
In addition, Jay-Z’s watch has a self-winding mechanism with a maximum power reserve of 55 hours and a frequency of 28,800 volts per hour. The watch’s 21-karat gold central rotor, visible via the openwork caseback, allows him to see the CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H calibre. Meanwhile, the watch’s elegant appeal is enhanced with a hand-stitched matte-black alligator strap. Additionally, it has a blingy fold-over clasp that is encrusted with 22 baguette diamonds totaling 0.97 carats.
Nor is this the first time Hov has worn the unique watch. At the 2024 Grammy Awards, Beyoncé’s husband accepted the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award while sporting ref. 5961R. He wore a custom Givenchy ensemble to the event, which consisted of a chic floral brooch, matching wool slacks, and a black wool jacket with a satin lapel. It makes sense that Jay-Z would want to flash his wrist candy frequently given his huge Patek collection.
The watch is available on Chrono24 for a whopping $169,900, or you can purchase it via Patek dealers for $161,430. You can rock it, too.
