Brad Pitt’s impressive luxury watch collection as he turns 60: from classic Rolex and Cartier to Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe – but has Angelina Jolie reclaimed one of the rarest of all?
As one of the highest-paid actors globally, it’s not surprising that the superstar’s impressive inventory is reportedly worth at least US$30 million, showcasing prestigious brands such as Rolex, Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe.
From gems by Breitling (he’s been an ambassador of the Swiss luxury watchmaker since 2019) to iconic and rare masterpieces, Brad Pitt’s collection is as diverse as the roles he’s played over his decades-long career in Hollywood. Here are some highlights:
1. Vacheron Constantin 222
Pitt stole the spotlight in the UK back in July by wearing a stunning Vacheron Constantin 222 at two quintessential English sporting events: Wimbledon and the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
More than just a luxury watch, the 222 is a significant piece in the history of fine watchmaking. Originally released in 1977 to commemorate Vacheron Constantin’s 222nd anniversary, it was reissued last year and met with near-fanatical enthusiasm from watch aficionados.
Pitt’s love of the cult classic 222 is evident in his collection, which includes at least two variants, worth anywhere from US$95,000-US$100,000 each: a luxurious solid gold Historiques model worn at the grand prix and a vintage, more casual stainless steel version that complemented his Wimbledon appearance.
2. Cartier Tank à Guichet
Pitt’s arresting Cartier Tank à Guichet is testament to his exquisite taste in watches. The Tank à Guichet stands out for its unique design, featuring a “jump-hour” mechanism where the hour and minute indicators are displayed through two small windows on an otherwise solid gold dial.
3. Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711
The two-time Oscar winner also boasts the iconic and highly coveted stainless steel Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 in his collection, with a distinctive graduated blue dial. As with many Patek Philippe creations, this watch includes an annual calendar complication and moon phase display. The combination of the black alligator strap and the rose gold case creates a refined and eye-catching contrast.
4. Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Norton
Naturally, the Ocean’s Eleven star has an impressive array of Breitling watches in his collection. Among them, the Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Norton in stainless steel seems to be a favourite, judging by how frequently it is seen on his wrist in public.
This special edition timepiece, a result of the collaboration between Breitling and the iconic British motorcycle manufacturer Norton, is a subtle nod to the actor’s passion for motorcycles.
5. Rolex GMT Master II
No prestigious watch collection is complete without a Rolex, and Brad Pitt’s is no exception. He’s been a fan of the brand since the 2000s, and is often seen with a classic stainless steel Rolex Explorer.
Over the years, Pitt has added more luxurious Rolexes to his collection, including an 18k yellow gold Rolex GMT Master II. This watch even appeared on-screen with him in the 2007 film Ocean’s Thirteen. Notable for its special Rolex green dial, the GMT Master II, launched in 2005, is valued at around US$45,000.
