The 18 best watches spotted at the Emmys 2025
From Rolex Daytonas to elegant timepieces, we rounded up the best watches spotted on celebrities at the Emmys 2025
By 
TODAY, the question of “Who are you wearing?” (thank you, Joan Rivers) extends far beyond the shirt cuff. Exactly what kind of timepiece a celebrity sports on the red carpet is more telling of their supposed ‘style icon’ level taste than the suit they loaned fresh off the runway. So, with awards season finally off to the races with the 77th Primetime Emmys this week, TV’s night of nights pulled out several notable watches for the months ahead of one red carpet after another.
From the usual suspects of Rolex Daytonas to dainty diamond-encrusted timepieces, we rounded up the best watches spotted at the Emmys below.
All prices are listed in AUD.

The 18 best watches spotted at the Emmys 2025
Tramell Tillman – Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Perpetual Calendar
Material: 18-carat white gold | Case: 41 mm | Ref: 26494BC.OO.D350KB.01 | Price: $179,500
We got a winner! To mark his historic Supporting Actor in a Drama Series win for his role in Severance, Tillman wore this blue wonder from Audemars Piguet. In terms of watch trends, 2025 is the year timepieces turned blue.
Stephen Graham – Rolex Cosmograph Daytona
Material: steel | Case: 40 mm | Ref: 116520 | Price: $34,500 to $87,000 (est. market)
Taking home two Emmys for his role in a limited series and co-creating Adolescence, Graham flashed a watch guy’s holiest Rolex grail. The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is in just about every collector’s wishlist with its racing heritage and association with the driver and director Paul Newman. So, we have to ask: is Graham a closet watch guy?
Walton Goggins – Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin
Material: pink gold | Case: 41.5 mm | Ref: 4300V/220R-H144 | Price: $209,000
From what we saw of his character in The White Lotus, Rick is a humble and practical guy when it comes to his timepieces. IRL is a different story for the 53-year-old actor, who turned up to the Emmys in a six-figure Vacheron Constantin in a flashy pink gold. While the HBO show didn’t score any awards that night in the major categories, the Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin is a winner from the night.
Sterling K. Brown – Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar
Material: sand gold | Case: 41 mm | Ref: 26674SG.OO.1320SG.01 | Price: POA
If you’re reading through this list to gawk at some of these watches, ‘POA’ is luxury speak for ‘retail price too disgustingly high for public eyes’. A look around on the resale market, however, pitches Brown’s Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar at about $500,000, easily making it one of the most expensive from the evening.
Colman Domingo – Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Moonshine
Material: gold & steel | Case: 42 mm | Ref: 310.20.42.50.02.001 | Price: $32,200
Red carpet style all-rounder Colman Domingo is intentional about his watches. Here, the Sing-Sing actor paired his steel and gold Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch with his custom Valentino suit in light blue with embroidered jewel accents.
Brian Tyree Henry – Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph
Material: pink gold | Case: 49.4 x 29.9 mm | Ref: Q389256J | Price: POA
The full pink gold Jaeger-LeCoultre made waves when it was unveiled last year, achieving an overall visual consistency of 18-carat pink gold variation. Spotted here on Brian Tyree Henry, it’s considered a step above the more ubiquitous square-faced watch from a particular French jeweller-slash-watchmaker amongst collectors.
Jesse Williams – Blancpain Villeret Quantième Complet
Material: red gold | Case: 40 mm | Ref: 6654O036040A055B | Price: $48,400
Grey’s Anatomy actor Jesse Williams chose this piece from Blancpain to present the award for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series at this year’s Emmys. Featuring a complete calendar and moonphase complication, it’s an elegant round-face watch for the evening ceremony.
Ice-T – Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked
Material: black ceramic | Case: 41 mm | Ref: 15416CE.OO.1225CE.01 | Price: POA
One of the coldest fits from the night, actor and rapper Ice-T wore an all black suit to match his black ceramic skeleton AP Royal Oak.
James Marsden – IWC Portofino Complete Calendar
Material: steel | Case: 41 mm | Ref: IW359001 | Price: $17,950
If you’re going to pull up to a formal event in a white dinner jacket, keeping your timepiece simple and elegant is the way to go. Take it from Marsden, who paired a blue-strapped automatic moonphase IWC with his Ralph Lauren tux – dreamy.
Jason Bateman – Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ‘Paul Newman Red’
Material: steel | Case: 37 mm | Ref: 6263 | Price: $290,000 (est. market)
With all the success of Ozark, Jason Bateman probably had this Rolex ‘Paul Newman red’ Daytona saved in his wishlist when that cheque came in the mail. Again, like Graham’s, watch guy bait.
Sam Rockwell – Vacheron Constantin Historiques American 1921
Material: pink gold | Case: 40 x 40 mm | Ref: 82035/000R-9359 | Price: $71,000
One of my favourites from the evening, The White Lotus actor Sam Rockwell wore the Historiques American 1921 from Vacheron Constantin. It’s the kind of funky, askew timepiece that was a hit during its original release in the Roaring Twenties. But one that also makes sense for Rockwell’s equally askew character in the HBO show. (I also can’t help but imagine Rockwell adjusting his head slightly to tell the time.)
Tyler James Williams – Tiffany & Co. Tiffany Cocktail
Material: white gold with diamonds | Case: 21 x 34 mm | Ref: 60166302 | Price: $32,300
Right on the current watch trend for dainty timepieces, Abbott Elementary star Tyler James Williams took it up a notch with this diamond oval-shaped piece from American jeweller Tiffany & Co.
Nate Bargatze – Breguet Classique Souscription 2025
Material: gold | Case: 40 mm | Ref: 2025BH/28/9W6 | Price: $81,900
Sensible is all I have to say.
Jason Segel – Piaget Altiplano Origin
Material: white gold | Case: 40 mm | Ref: G0A45403 | Price: $64,500
Ditto.
Justin Hartley – Vacheron Constantin Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin Skeleton
Material: pink gold | Case: 41.5 mm | Ref: 4300V/220R-B642 | Price: POA
Wearing similar watches on a red carpet isn’t as much a faux pas as turning up in the same outfit. But between Justin Hartley’s and Walton Goggins’ Overseas Perpetual Calendar, I’m with Hartley on this one.
Brett Goldstein – Hublot Classic Fusion Racing Grey
Material: titanium | Case: 45 mm | Ref: 565.NX.7071.RX | Price: $12,400
Leave the Big Bang at home when you’re attending a black tie event. Ted Lasso actor Brett Goldstein wore the best of what the Swiss watchmaker had to offer in terms of ‘elegant’. In true Hublot fashion, it’s the biggest timepiece of the night at 45 mm.
Scott Evans – Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ‘Jumbo’ Extra-Thin
Material: yellow gold | Case: 39 mm | Ref: 126518LN-0014 | Price: POA
I enjoy how this yellow gold AP Royal Oak matches his hair.
Hiroyuki Sanada – IWC Portofino Automatic
Material: steel | Case: 40 mm | Ref: IW356517 | Price: $8,500
Another sensible timepiece, it’s the second year in a row Shogun star Hiroyuki Sanada wore IWC to the Emmys 2025. Featuring raised hour-markers in gold, it’s a subtle style move to make the uniform watch standout against a tux.
