The 7 Best Watches of the Week, From Mark Wahlberg’s Patek Philippe to Lucien Laviscount’s Audemars Piguet

One of the perks of being a celebrity surely must be gaining access to the hottest new wrist candy. We spotted three watches that were only released this year on the wrists of stars this week, with Mark Wahlberg rocking the fresh denim-strapped Patek Philippe World Time Date, Simu Liu sporting the new malachite-clad Jacob & Co. Palatial Classic, and Lucien Laviscount flexing the latest Audemars Piguet [Re]Master.

Other celebs wore older but certainly not obsolete timepieces on the red carpet. Nick Jonas was spotted in the coveted Rolex Yacht-Master “Popeye,” Paul Feig showed off a classic Rolex Daytona, Sam Asghari donned the iconic Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duoface, and Archie Renaux flaunted the Hublot Classic Fusion Black Magic.

Simu Liu: Jacob & Co. Palatial Classic

The Jacob & Co. timepiece that Simu Liu wore to the Los Angeles premiere of Jackpot was rocking—literally. The sizable 42 mm beauty is one of the three new Palatial Big Date models the Swiss watchmaker unveiled in March. Available in either stainless steel or rose gold, the trio showcases striking

made from blue Lapis Lazuli, green Malachite, and black Onyx, respectively. Each piece of stone features a unique pattern, so no two Palatial faces will be alike. Liu’s example has a malachite face with striking veins in green and black, a large date with a double disc at 12 o’clock, and a power reserve indicator at six o’clock. The price of each individually numbered piece is available upon request.

Lucien Laviscount: Audemars Piguet [RE]Master02

Lucien Laviscount wore a très chic Audemars Piguet during the premiere of the new season of Emily in Paris on Wednesday. Released in May, the [RE]Master02 is a modern reimaging of the asymmetrical models AP produced in scant quantities in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Crafted from Audemars Piguet’s proprietary sand gold, the angular 41 mm case shifts between white and pink hues while the caseback gives a clear view of the trusted time-only only Caliber 7129. The distinctive blue dial showcases a unique parallel brush finish and 12 gold-lined segments that allow you to help time telling without any markers. Limited to 250 pieces, the watch retails for $47,200.

Nick Jonas: Rolex Yacht-Master “Popeye”

The playful Rolex Nick Jonas wore to the Los Angeles premiere of The Good Half on Tuesday will likely appeal to cartoon lovers and watch buffs alike. Created as part of a collab between Bamford Watch Department and Dr. Romanelli in 2015, the limited edition features none other than Popeye on the dial. The sailor’s arms function as hands and point to the time, though the rest of the yacht functions as usual. The 40 mm case and bracelet have been finished in a military-grade titanium coating, creating a monochromatic that further accentuates the colorful character. Only 29 pieces priced at £20,500 (about $26,400) were released worldwide, rendering the Rolex Yachtmaster “Popeye” rather rare.

Mark Wahlberg: Patek Philippe World Time Date

Mark Wahlberg has once again proved he is one of the country’s most clued-in and well-connected collectors. The American actor showed off a newly released Patek Philippe World Time Date during the Los Angeles premiere of The Union on Monday. Unveiled for the second time at Watches & Wonders in April, the timepiece (Ref. 5330G) features a 40 mm white-gold case, a blue-gray opaline dial with a distinctive carbon pattern, and a funky denim-clad leather strap. Powered by the self-winding caliber 240 HU, the world timer offers 24-hour and a.m./p.m. indication for all 24 time zones. It retails for $76,594.

Sam Asghari: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Duoface

Iranian-American actor Sam Asghari sported a winning Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Duoface during the L.A. premiere of Jackpot on Tuesday. JLC released the first Reverso in 1931, before following up with the Duoface in 1994. The successor had all the Art Deco elegance of the 1930s original but was fitted with a second dial instead of the Reverso’s solid metal caseback. Priced at $25,000, this contemporary iteration (Ref. Q3842520) features a 28.3 mm steel case, a silver guilloché dial with black numerals, and a black guilloché dial with silver markers. The faces show two time zones and a small seconds display. A winning watch, indeed.

Archie Renaux: Hublot Classic Fusion Black Magic

Archie Renaux is starring in a dark and scary sci-fi. It is rather fitting, then, that the English actor wore a menacing, all-black Hublot Classic Fusion Black Magic to the Alien: Romulus premiere in L.A. on Monday. Released in 2019, the Classic Fusion Black Magic features a black ceramic case—it comes in four different sizes, but the Brit’s looks like the largest—a matching ceramic bezel, a matte black dial with silver-toned hands, and a black rubber strap. The monochromatic piece costs $9,800 a pop. You can also add a ceramic bracelet for a little extra dosh.

Paul Feig: Rolex Cosmograph Daytona

Paul Feig, famous for directing films like Bridesmaids and The Heat, wore the Rolex equivalent of a blockbuster at the L.A. premiere of Jackpot on Tuesday. The Cosmograph Daytona in question could either be the Ref. 126500LN the Crown released in 2023 to celebrate the model’s 60th anniversary or the Ref. 116500LN that the Swiss watchmaker debuted in 2016. It is impossible to say which reference it is without the help of calipers. Both feature 40 mm Oystersteel cases, black Cerachrom bezels, white dials, three chronograph counters, and Oyster bracelets, but the Ref. 126500LN has the new Caliber 4131 movement and refined aesthetic details. The latter retails for $15,100.
