Brad Pitt's Nothing But Rolex Collection - Part 1

Brad Pitt wearing a Stainless Steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Reference 116520

Brad Pitt is one of the most recognizable Hollywood A - list actors who has made a tremendous and impressive range of movies in almost every genre, from thrillers like Seven and World War Z, historical movies like Troy and Legends of the Fall, to heist films like the Oceans trilogy, to romantic action comedy like Mr. and Mrs. Smith to Book remakes like Interview with the Vampire and more.  He is an actor, producer and has been involved in at least 32 Hollywood projects - most of which were blockbuster successes.

Pitt was named by People as the Sexiest Man Alive twice and he has appeared in countless magazines from Time to Forbes and more.  He is also well known for marrying two of the most prominent and beautiful Hollywood A-list actresses, including Jennifer Aniston from the hit TV Show Friends, and later, Angelina Jolie, who may be Hollywood's most well-known A-list actress.

Brad Pitt has been seen with a tremendous number of Rolex watches.  Pictured above he is wearing a Stainless Steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Reference 116520 with white dial and Chromalight luminescence.  This classic Daytona watch has a small seconds hand at 6 o'clock, a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and 12-hour counter at 9 o'clock. It also has a chronograph (centre hand) accurate to within 1/8 of a second. The Oyster 40 mm steel case is made of 904L steel and the Crystal is a scratch resistant sapphire.  It is waterproof to 330 feet.  The caliber 4130 movement gives a power reserve of approximately 72 hours.

Rolex Yacht-Master 16628

Part of his enormous Rolex collection is a gorgeous Rolex Yacht Master Reference 16628 with white dial and 18k Yellow Gold, manufactured around 1991.

This is a 40 mm watch with sapphire crystal with cyclops lens over the date, and a time lapse bezel.  

It uses a 3135 movement and has a date window at 3 o'clock.  The dial is white but has black surrounded by gold hour markers. 

The bracelet is an 18k gold Oysterlock with fliplock clasp.  The gold Yacht-Master is not as common as the blue face offered by Rolex today.  It is quite a stunning watch and increasingly collectible.

Chocolate Datejust with Silver band.

Although I could not find an exact match to this Rolex Datejust, Pitt owns an incredible Silver Banded Datejust with chocolate dial and roman numeral numbers. 

Although I doubt he is wearing a women's Rolex (as what I have pictured here), this is the closest picture I could find to match his choice in timepiece.  Please feel free to comment if you can identify the exact reference to this gorgeous watch.

The Datejust he is wearing is likely a 41 mm with 3235 movement. 

It has a center hour, minute and seconds hands.  It has a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and can be submerged to a depth of 330 feet. The folding Oysterclasp gives him added protection from losing this timepiece while swimming.

The crystal is scratch resistant sapphire with cyclops lens.  I love this watch for several reasons.  I am not a huge fan of the dual gold and silver watch band that is offered in the current Datejust model.  Also, I prefer the roman numerals to the more common hour markers found on the typical datejust models.  Also, the fluted bezel is a nice touch and is superior to the diamond studded bezel offered on some of the women's models. 

Although one might think adding gold or diamonds to a timepiece would add value to the resale of this wrist candy, that is most often not the case.  The 904L steel time pieces are often preferred by collectors for many reasons, including the idea that it is considered less overt and ostentatious to wear a steel Rolex to a Gold one.  Additionally, a timepiece of obvious gold or platinum build might be thought to be too precious for activities such as diving, driving or other athletic endeavors.
