The platinum Rolex Day-Date Ref. M228206-0025 with Arabic calendar dial and Eastern Arabic Numerals is one of the most sought after Day-Dates on the market.

DJ Khaled’s Patek Philippe Nautilus 5719/10G-010

DJ Khaled surely keeps up with the trends in the watch collecting market. Why else would he have multiple Patek Philippe Nautilus’ in his collection? One such Nautilus Khaled has been spotted wearing is the 5719/10G-10 which was released to commemorate the 40-year anniversary of the Nautilus. The watch, nicknamed “The Chandelier” is set with diamonds all over the dial, bezel and bracelet. You can find it on the secondary market for between $750,000 USD and $800,000 USD.

DJ Khaled’s Patek Philippe Nautilus Perpetual Celandar 5740/1G

The final Nautilus we are featuring from DJ Khaled’s collection is the most complicated as well.

DJ Khaled’s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted Gold 15412BA

The frosted finishing of the case and bracelet really differentiates the piece from anything else on the market. The Ref.15412BA currently sells on the secondary market for around $650,000 USD.

DJ Khaled’s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Black Panther Flying Tourbillon

DJ Khaled has also been seen wearing another, more divisive Royal Oak. This piece is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Black Panther Flying Tourbillon. The watch features a futuristic titanium case with a tourbillon at 6’clock and a sculpture of the MCU’s Black Panther on the dial. This watch was the result of a surprising collaboration between Marvel and AP and commands a high price even though it is somewhat unconventional. The Royal Oak Concept Black Panther Ref. 26620IO currently sells on the secondary market for between $350,000 USD and $400,000 USD.

DJ Khaled’s Jacob & Co. Brilliant Flying Tourbillon

DJ Khaled is clearly a big fan of Jacob and Co. watches. He has been spotted wearing a variety of different timepieces from the avant-garde brand. One thing is remains common between his Jacob & Co. watches, they all have lots of ice. For example, Khaled was seen in a 2022 music video wearing the limited edition 47mm Jacob & Co. Brilliant Flying Tourbillon with an 18 carat yellow gold case. Limited to just 18 pieces, this watch is set with 170 baguette-cut emeralds surrounding the flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock. The Jacob and Co. Brilliant Flying Tourbillon retails for $600,000 USD.

DJ Khaled’s Jacob & Co. Royal

The Jacob and Co. Royal has many visual similarities to the Brilliant featured above. The big difference is that the Royal does not have a tourbillon and is set with 379 baguette-cut diamonds (for 33.05 carats) instead of emeralds. The watch is a hefty 49 mm in diameter, but we think that DJ Khaled can pull it out. The Jacob & Co. Royal retails for $420,000 USD.

DJ Khaled’s Jacob & Co. Billionaire 3

DJ Khaled’s most expensive watch is probably the Jacob & Co. Billionaire 3. This piece is set with 713 diamonds. This includes 504 emerald-cut diamonds on the bracelet alone. All-in-all the watch has a total carat weight of 129. The Jacob & Co. Billionaire III retails for a whopping $3,000,000 USD.

DJ Khaled’s Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette in white gold

When you think of Jacob & Co. you probably think of the Astronomia Tourbillon. This space-themed watch has been a staple in Jacob & Co.’s collection since it was first introduced in 2014. And for good reason. The watch mixes high art/sculpture with watch design and complications. While the Astronomia Tourbillon is offered without much ice, Khaled’s Astronomia’s dial is adorned with133 triangle-cut white diamonds (about 16.80 ct.). The watch is truly out of this world. The Jacob & Co. Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette retails for $1,000,000 USD.

DJ Khaled’s Jacob & Co. Five Time Zone

The final Jacob & Co. in DJ Khaled’s collection might have been his first. The Jacob & Co. Five Time Zone might be said to be the watch that put Jacob Arabo and his watch brand on the map. In addition to displaying the home time, the watch has 4 subdials with times for New York, Los Angeles, Paris and Tokyo. While the watch may look a little dated, it is still popular in collectors’ circles due to its interesting complications and importance within the history of Jacob & Co. You can pick up a Jacob & Co. Five Time Zone on the secondary market for around $9,500 USD.
