Jay-Z sported a rose-gold Grand Complication Celestial to watch his megawatt wife’s concert in H-Town.
It’s no secret that Jay-Z’s collection of Patek Philippes is otherworldly.
The billionaire rapper-turned-entrepreneur proved the point yet again this week, wearing a dazzling rose-gold Grand Complication Celestial (Ref. 6102R) to watch his wife, Beyoncé, perform in Houston. It comes just three years after Hov was spotted rocking a platinum version of the Celestial (Ref. 6102P) at Super Bowl LIV. He also stepped out in two rare Pateks (Ref. 5004 and Ref. 2499) in March and sported a Grandmaster Chime at the Grammys in February.
The “Hard Knock Life” singer can be seen flexing his $331,180 wrist candy in a series of pictures that were posted to Teyana Taylor’s Instagram two days ago. The American singer and actress captioned the post: “Renaissance in H-Town hit different! Bey did her fuckin big one!” Beyoncé performed for tens of thousands of fans in her hometown of Houston on Saturday and Sunday night as part of her Renaissance world tour. Jay-Z and Taylor appear to have posed for photos backstage at Houston’s NRG Stadium before heading out to watch the show.
Introduced in 2015, the Celestial has been named one of the most important Pateks of the 21st century by Robb Report. The model pays homage to the Swiss watchmaker’s long history of astronomical pocket watches in a decidedly lavish fashion.

This particular example is distinguished by a 44 mm rose-gold case and a black sapphire-crystal dial that shows a rotating chart of the heavenly bodies. At any given time, the wearer can look at the face and see an exact image of the night sky in the northern hemisphere. The dial also shows the orbital position and phase of the Moon. Two skeletonized hands point to the hours and minutes, while an additional white hand with a red crescent tip indicates the date on the periphery. The watch is powered by the 240 LU CL C caliber and is so complex that Patek actually has a spot on its website to show you how to set it.
In addition to the platinum and rose-gold Celestials, Patek also released a blingy version set with 120 baguette-cut diamonds (Ref. 6104R). If we’re lucky, maybe Jay-Z will don that iced-out number next.
