Spotlight On: Grammy winning singer songwriter
Bruno Mars, and his gold timepieces.
At just 34 years old, Bruno Mars is already
one of the most decorated artists in pop music.
With 27 Grammy nominations (and 11 wins),
plus 21 Hot 100 singles, and a massive 215
show tour for his latest album, Bruno Mars
isn’t holding anything back.
Bruno has a lot going on, and this spills
over to the style department. We see the singer-songwriter
don completely over the top looks — from
colorful tracksuits, to sequins and lots of
bold jewelry.
When it comes to watches, he’s loyal to
eye-catching solid yellow gold timepieces.
Check out the choice watches of Bruno Mars,
from Rolex and Audemars Piguet.
Bruno is a fan of Rolex’s flagship timepiece,
the Rolex President Day-Date. He almost always
has one on his wrist, whether he’s performing
or during days off.
For his Wall Street Journal cover, Bruno donned
a rare Rolex President Day-Date with a green
enamel center dial and Arabic numerals.
Enamel dials were first used in the Rolex
Day-Date “Stella” dials of the 1980s and
this model brings it back, this time with
a helping of diamonds.
This watch is a match for Bruno’s “more
is more” philosophy. It combines an 18k
yellow gold construction, a diamond bezel
and a pave (pavay) diamond dial with the enamel
details in Rolex’s signature green.
Among his watches, Bruno’s black diamond
dial Rolex Day-Date has received the most
exposure. He wore the said watch on his People
“Sexiest Man Alive” cover, his Rolling
Stone cover, and in various performances on
stage.
The Day-Date is always crafted from either
gold or platinum, and often with diamonds
thrown in. This model pairs a striking yellow
gold finish with a contrasting black dial,
while diamond hour markers add subtle sparkle.
Last but not the least is the Rolex President
Day-Date in its most iconic form – in solid
18k yellow gold, with a fluted bezel, champagne
dial and raised gold baton hour markers. When
one thinks of the Rolex Day-Date, it’s this
iconic style that immediately comes to mind.
Famously donned by world leaders and diplomats,
“The President’s Watch” is a highly
recognized symbol of success and makes a powerful
statement each time it’s worn.

The most understated among Bruno’s watches
is the classic edition of the Rolex Datejust.
His choice Datejust is in Rolesor steel and
yellow gold, with a champagne dial, baton
hour markers and a two-tone Jubilee bracelet.
This is the timepiece he wore most often earlier
in his career.
So versatile is this style that it can go
from casual looks but still look polished
enough for formal events. Despite its classic
styling, the yellow gold just jumps off the
wrist and demands attention.
When his 24K Magic World Tour wrapped up in
2017, Bruno gifted his band members and dancers
(also known as The Hooligans) with matching Audemars
Piguet Royal Oak reference 15202 (fifteen
two oh two) watches.
Of course, his crew also dons solid gold timepieces.
The watches also came in gold-plated boxes
that Audemars Piguet made especially for
the band.
With his success on the Billboards, and his
iconic collection of watches, Bruno Mars has
sure earned his star status.
