From Chris Pratt's Hublot to Dwayne Johnson's IWC, these watches are not just accessories but statements of style and status.
Stephen Graham: The Legendary Rolex Daytona
Stephen Graham's choice of a Rolex Daytona (Ref. 116520) is a testament to his legendary status. This model, produced between 2000 and 2016, is a true icon.

You can find pre-owned examples for around $25,000.
Chris Pratt: Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium
Chris Pratt, known for his love of Panerai and IWC, surprised everyone by wearing a Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium. This watch, released in 2018, is a smaller, 42 mm alternative to the original 44 mm model. It showcases a titanium case and a black skeleton dial, revealing the self-winding HUB1280 Unico movement. With a power reserve of 72 hours and a chronograph system, it's a powerful accessory. The price tag is $22,800.
