Feb 3, 2026
The Grammy Awards may celebrate music’s biggest achievements, but the red carpet has increasingly become a serious style and watch-spotting moment. At the 2026 Grammys, luxury watches, heritage icons, and hyper-complicated timepieces, including Cartier’s archival shapes and avant-garde mechanical theatre, shared space with couture gowns and custom tuxedos. Here are the 9 most expensive watches spotted at the 2026 Grammys.
Bad Bunny - Cartier Tortue
Bad Bunny stepped onto the carpet wearing a Cartier Tortue. Defined by its curved tonneau-shaped case, the Tortue is revered for its elegance and rarity, with high-end examples often crossing the $200,000 mark (Rs 16.6 crore) in the collectors’ market. He paired the Cartier with a custom Schiaparelli tuxedo featuring sculptural tailoring and couture-level detailing.
Shaboozey - Piaget Polo 79
Shaboozey chose the Piaget Polo 79, a modern revival of the brand’s iconic 1979 design. Crafted in a mix of yellow and white gold, the watch houses Piaget’s ultra-thin automatic calibre 1200P1 and features an integrated bracelet that remains central to the Polo’s identity. Priced at approximately $91,000 (Rs 75.5 lakh), it sat neatly beneath the cuff of his Ralph Lauren look, adding a layer of polish to a clean red-carpet appearance.
Skepta - Rolex Sky-Dweller Ref. 336938
Skepta’s wrist carried the unmistakable presence of the Rolex Sky-Dweller Ref. 336938 in solid yellow gold. Designed for frequent travellers, the 42mm model combines a dual time-zone display with an annual calendar, all operated via Rolex’s Ring Command bezel. Valued between $49,000 and $58,000 (Rs 40.7–48.1 lakh) depending on configuration, it complemented his tailored Casablanca Paris ensemble.
Jermaine Mitchell - Gerald Charles Maestro 2.0 Ultra Thin
Jermaine Mitchell opted for a collector’s favourite with the Gerald Charles Maestro 2.0 Ultra Thin. The watch’s asymmetric case and slim profile reflect the brand’s architectural approach to design, rooted in the legacy of Gérald Genta. While pricing is typically available on request, comparable models are estimated between €30,000 and €50,000 (Rs 27–45 lakh).
John Legend - Hublot Big Bang Original Gold Blue Diamonds
John Legend brought a dose of high-impact luxury to the Grammys with the Hublot Big Bang Original Gold Blue Diamonds. Crafted in 18k King Gold and finished with a diamond-set bezel, the watch balances a sporty case architecture with high jewellery detailing, heightened by a deep blue dial. While official pricing is undisclosed, comparable diamond-set Big Bang models enter six-figure territory (Rs 83 lakh+).
Jamie Foxx - Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon
Jamie Foxx delivered one of the night’s most dramatic watch statements with the Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon. Valued at approximately $445,500 (Rs 3.7 crore), the watch features a three-dimensional V16 engine automaton with moving pistons, a flying tourbillon, and a case inspired directly by the hypercar. Worn with a commanding red carpet look, it aligned seamlessly with Foxx’s larger-than-life presence.
Tyla - Jacob & Co. Boutique Watch
Tyla leaned into jewellery-first watchmaking with a bespoke Jacob & Co. boutique piece. Set with Ashoka-cut diamonds and pink sapphires, the watch functioned more as a high jewellery object than a traditional timepiece.
Kendrick Lamar - Cartier Tank Américaine in White Gold and Diamonds
Kendrick Lamar wore a Cartier Tank Américaine in white gold, set with diamonds across the case and bracelet. The Tank Américaine was introduced by Cartier in 1989 and is defined by its elongated, curved rectangular case. Diamond-set white-gold versions sit at the top of the Tank range, with comparable models valued above $80,000 (Rs 66.5 lakh+).
Jeff Goldblum - Blancpain Villeret Squelette 8 Jours
Jeff Goldblum wore the Blancpain Villeret Squelette 8 Jours. The watch is powered by the manually wound calibre 1333SQ and offers an eight-day power reserve. It features a skeletonised movement visible through a sapphire dial and is housed in a white-gold case. Retail pricing for the model is above $90,000 (Rs 74.5 lakh+).
