The value of Rolex Daytona by Jonah Hill is exploding

A funny thing happened with the reference 116508 of Rolex Daytona: the one with the gold case and the green dial They are after the misfortune. Well, at first, nothing happened. The watch debuted at Baselworld in 2016 and, unlike many Daytona models, or Rolex in general, there was not a group of men with big savings accounts that knocked on their shop door . Everything changed earlier this year, when John Mayer introduced this piece in a Hodinkee video. "That's all it took," said Paul Altieri, CEO of Rolex Bob's Watches Dealership, New York Times. The watch suddenly attracted all kinds of customers, including, it seems, Jonah Hill! Today, these watches are sold everywhere and while a few months ago, nobody wanted to pay the retail price of $ 34,650 for a 116,508, they are worth up to $ 70,000 now. on the secondary market. Nothing says how to appear on the wrist of another stylish celebrity will further increase the value of the coin. Father Time blessed us this week with a fine menagerie of wrist watches from Eddie Redmayne, James Harden and Rafael Nadal – all interesting things we will not discuss about Odell Beckham Jr. wearing a 200,000 watch $ during a match. (But you can read all about it here.)

Rolograph Cosmograph by Jonah Hill in Daytona

A nice addition to the Jonah Hill Fit 2K19 watch: Hill is wearing a Marilyn Manson t-shirt, black jeans, Adidas Superstars and a Rolex that is now worth double what it was a few months ago. The watches are hardly spared by the influence of a large amount of male clothing. Some watches even carry the name of the icon that wore them: think of the Paul Newman Rolex, the Steve McQueen Rolex Explorer II (although the actor never wore the watch!), And the Rolex Dato-Compax chronograph named after the French skier Jean-Claude Killy. We will shortly call the green gold watch on Hill's "John Mayer" arm.

Omega Speedmaster Edie Redmayne

This watch is the only one to have been tested and approved by NASA. It was worn by astronauts George Clooney and now Eddie Redmayne. It is precisely the 50th anniversary of the Speedmaster and Omega has not missed the opportunity – you can buy a commemorative version of the "lunar" gold watch with a small piece of meteorite (for real !!), or another with an image of Buzz Aldrin descending the ladder of his spaceship on the moon engraved in a sub-dial. Redmayne wears the classic Omega Speedmaster in a black dial and a stainless steel case. Hey, if it was good enough for Aldrin and Neil Armstrong …

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak by Russell Westbrook

Dressed in a sexy velvet suit to attend the parade of the always sexy Tom Ford, of course Russell Westbrook wore a very sexy watch. The Royal Oak, a watch that appears at least once a week on this list for whatever reason, is here redone in pink gold and gives up its image of tough stainless steel man for a perforated dial that runs flush. The watch is another reason why his teammate James Harden, Westbrook and the Houston Rockets (and old Oklahoma City Thunder), would rise to the occasion, boasting that GQ boasts of being "the team". the best dressed in the history of sport ". Harden …

Patek Philippe Nautilus by James Harden

If celebrities of the watch loved to tie their wrists more than the Royal Oak this year, it's the Patek Philippe Nautilus. Its origin now takes the tone of a familiar story: at sunset: designed on a napkin in five minutes by the prodigious watchmaker Gérald Genta, inspired by the porthole of the ship, presented as the most expensive steel sport watch of the history, and now impossible to obtain without incredible weight or patience. In this month's magazine …?????????The artist, Wes Lang, called the Nautilus "simply one of the most beautiful you can ever watch". It does not seem that Harden would disagree with him on this point.

Richard Mille of Rafeal Nadal RM-27-03

This is the reason why Richard Mille pays a lot of money to Rafael Nadal: for a kind of marketing as a photo of the tennis player chomping on his American Open trophy with the watch of your brand, striped with the colors of the Spanish flag, in front and in the center. Really a ridiculous week for the most ridiculous watch brand on the planet. After Nadal played and won the American Open with his Richard Mille, Odell Beckham Jr. wore his RM-11 on the pitch and spent the entire week claiming for his right to do it again. Even more crazy, Beckham is not even paid to do it! Nadal is the result of a partnership: the watch he wears bears his name.

Richard Mille RM-030 of the future

At the end of the song Future, "Temptation", off The magician, there is an exit during which an unidentified voice says, "And I can not lie, you … you probably had the first collapse of Richard Mille that I saw in this form." Looks like the quote goes back to a video of the jeweler of Future discussing a different iced Richard Mille. The future remained in the trend that he started with another brand watch: this time a RM-030 that he completely covered with diamonds. This is clearly one of those if it is not broken … situations.
