Here's a super-class watch that came out of nowhere. The watch worn by Leonardo DiCaprio, who came to watch the NBA Lakers vs. Trail Blazers game, is the Patek Philippe Nautilus Tiffany (Ref. 5711/1A-018) . This ultra-rare model was released as a limited edition Tiffany Blue model to commemorate the 170th anniversary of the partnership between Patek Philippe and Tiffany. At the 2021 New York Watch Auction hosted by Phillips, it was sold for a whopping 735 million yen , causing a stir in the watch industry.
Come to think of it, Lakers star LeBron James is also known to own the same watch, so it's quite surprising to have two people with such an expensive timepiece in the same space.
Tag Heuer

Next up is the Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 1887 (Ref. CAR2012.FC6236) , one of the watches from the brand for which Leonardo DiCaprio was an ambassador . The Carrera was released in 1963 and has been the flagship model for Tag Heuer ever since. The anniversary model "Caliber 1887" was released in 2010, the 150th anniversary of Tag Heuer's founding, and is a modern reconstruction of the spirit of the first model. It features a dressy design that combines sportiness and elegance.
He became a TAG Heuer ambassador in 2009. You can see him wearing TAG Heuer watches in films he starred in around that time, such as " Inception " (2010) and " The Wolf of Wall Street " (2013), so be sure to check them out.

Next up is a watch from an emerging Swiss brand. The Circular S Sun ( Ref. 18760010) from IDGenève , a brand that was launched in 2020 with the claim that it is a "sustainable luxury watch" and raised over 30 million yen through crowdfunding. The watch is made from 100% recycled stainless steel, and the carbon dioxide emitted during manufacturing is reduced to 1/10 of that emitted by regular watchmaking. Another major feature is that it is designed to thoroughly reduce its environmental impact, such as using a movement based on the ETA2824 , which is known for its versatility, to make it easier to repair and overhaul.
Leonardo DiCaprio agreed with IDGenève's policy and decided to invest in the brand himself. "I am pleased to invest in IDGenève, a brand that is bringing change not only to the luxury industry but to other industries as well, through its consistent innovation and focus on the principles of the circular economy," he said.
Jaeger-LeCoultre

The next watch is also from this brand that is committed to environmental issues. The one he is wearing is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme Lab (Ref. 179T470) . Leonardo DiCaprio, who is passionate about environmental issues, launched a campaign to combat global warming, " Time to Care, " with Jaeger-LeCoultre in 2008, and donated the profits from limited edition watches to an environmental conservation fund. This is one of those limited edition watches.
This watch uses a new carbon-based material called " Edium " that Jaeger-LeCoultre developed independently, which has successfully made the movement oil-free. This overcomes the weaknesses of oil, such as poor accuracy caused by the deterioration of oil over time and changes in viscosity due to the outside temperature.
Reverso Septante Me [Ref. Q3002420 ]

Another watch from Jaeger-LeCoultre. This is the Reverso Teptanthième (Ref. Q3002420) . This is a limited edition of 500 pieces, created to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the brand's iconic watch, the Reverso , which was born in 1931.
Despite its elegant form, the "XGT case" (29mm) is larger than the Big Reverso (26mm), giving it an overwhelming presence. It is a multi-functional model with a long power reserve of 8 days, night & day , big date , and power reserve indicator .
Rolex
Daytona [Ref. 116519G ]

As you can see from the photos of Leonardo DiCaprio wearing watches that we have introduced this time, he wears bracelet watches with casual styles and leather strap watches with formal or jacket styles .
That's why he chose the Rolex Daytona (Ref. 116519G) with a leather bracelet, which is only available on solid gold models, as the Rolex to go with his suit. Daytona is a must-have for celebrities these days.
