Let’s hope the Coldplay CEO gets to keep his $500k Richard Mille watch in the divorce
The internet is having some more fun with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, identifying the watch he wore to the Coldplay concert as a rare Richard Mille

THERE ISN’T MUCH to be said about the whole philanderous Astronomer CEO at a Coldplay concert fiasco that hasn’t already been said. The viral video has been blasted across the internet, the memes have crested and troughed, and the spoofs are everywhere. But the jokes keep coming.
The latest punchline involves the identification of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron’s watch. Byron can be seen wearing a black, titanium watch in the viral video which, according to Instagram account @vertigo1983, is a rare Richard Mille RM69 tourbillon in full titanium, of which there are only 30 pieces.
We can’t say for sure whether the watch in question is really a Richard Mille (although it has been widely reported as such). The video is quite blurry, and that really could be any silver and black watch. Plus, we have a hard time believing Andy Byron rocks a six-figure timepiece – even if he is a CEO. The kicker, though, is that the RM69 is an erotic watch.
The RM69 features a fast-rotating barrel. Contained inside a fully curved tripartite tonneau-shaped case, the complication displays an array of erotic messages from “Let me kiss you tonight” to “I’d love to devour your body”.
Wearing such a watch while on a covert date with your mistress would be a bold choice, and the RM69 is closer to the price range of someone like rapper Travis Scott (who has been seen wearing the model on multiple occasions). But then again, we can’t say for sure that this isn’t Andy Byron’s watch of choice.
