The collection of the singer Diamonds is diverse in designs and comes from many different brands.

She often chooses watches with iconic designs and high fashion applications. In particular, most of the watches she owns are designed for men, with dial sizes of more than 42 mm.

Jacob & Co.
Brilliant Flying Tourbillon

First is the Jacob & Co. The 47mm Brilliant Flying Tourbillon, retails for $670,000. But instead of wearing it on her wrist, she turned the watch into a choker around her neck.

The expensive accessory is decorated with 338 baguette-cut white diamonds, with a total weight of 30 carats on the dial, crown and 18K white gold case.

The founder of the Fenty brand wore this accessory for the first time at this year’s Paris Fashion Week, specifically the first fashion show of his friend Pharrell Williams, Creative Director of Louis Vuitton men’s fashion.

The diamond watch shines on Rihanna’s neck, a perfect highlight for the denim outfit.

Rolex
King Midas

Rolex King Midas is an antique watch model born in the 60s of the last century, designed by famous watchmaker Gérald Genta, the “father” of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus lines.

The watch is named after a king in Greek mythology who had the ability to turn everything he touched into gold.

Different from the usual designs of the Rolex brand, the watch has a square dial, combined with a flat strap, looking like a solid 18K gold bracelet.

The one worn by Rihanna is a customized version by famous Thai jeweler Patcharavipa Bodiratnangkura, which retails for approximately $42,000.

Bodiratnangkura, a GIA-certified designer, took special care to embellish this watch, keeping true to its “aesthetic boldness and delicate treatment of materials and textures.” .

Jacob & Co.
Brilliant Skeleton Northern Lights Red

Continuing a design from Jacob & Co.’s Brilliant collection, but the Northern Lights Red.

Rihanna wore this $72,000 watch at her performance at Super Bowl LVII this year. The red color of the watch matches the singer’s Loewe jumpsuit.

The 44 mm watch impresses with 251 round-cut diamonds, neatly arranged in pavé-set style on the bezel, along with another 30 covering the crown. The transparent red sapphire dial makes the watch more attractive.

Patek Philippe
Nautilus 5980/1R

One of Rihanna’s most impressive watches is the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980/1R, worth between $250,000 and $420,000 on the secondary market.

The classy accessory is highly sought after and has appeared on the wrists of many stars and celebrities such as Lionel Messi, Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham…

The watch is originally designed for men, with a case and strap made from 18K rose gold. The highlight of this sports watch is the flyback chronograph function, presented in a monochrome counter with thin white indexes located at the 6 o’clock position.

One of Rihanna’s appearances with a Patek Philippe watch was when she coordinated this accessory with a brown Gucci tracksuit, creating a unique highlight for her luxurious outfit.

Panthère de Cartier

The Diamonds singer reserved a place in her collection for the Panthère de Cartier, a signature design of the high-end jewelry brand Cartier.

Rihanna chose the gold version, which retails for $26,500. She has been spotted many times wearing this iconic Cartier design, from photo shoots to everyday life.

Panthère de Cartier is famous for its elegant, feminine and luxurious design. The dial is simple but sophisticated, with Roman numeral hour markers and thin hands.

Although not professionally waterproof, many versions of the watch have basic water resistance, enough to withstand light water exposure.
