The Beckhams’ 5 most expensive watches, ranked: David’s collection is biggest, while Victoria and Brooklyn favour Patek Philippe, Cruz has a Rolex, Romeo a Richard Mille and Nicola Peltz has a Cartier
What better way to celebrate a big birthday than with some dazzling wrist bling?
That’s certainly how the Beckhams think, at least. Recently, for youngest son Cruz’s 18th birthday on February 20, the not-so-little Beckham showed off his shiny new gold Rolex, as seen in photos on his Instagram.
Clearly, Posh and Becks are not the only ones in the family to wear luxury watches, as their kids continue to flaunt their own stylish accessories.
But which Beckham has the most expensive watch?
6. Nicola Peltz – Cartier Panthère (US$24,800)
The sparkling pieces, both in yellow gold, feature the brand’s symbolic tank design, and are estimated to cost US$19,600 for the mini and US$24,800 for the medium model, according to Who What Wear.

5. Cruz – Rolex Submariner Date (nearly US$40,000)
Cruz flexed his eye-catching watch as he sipped beers with his dad, David, and brother Romeo on his 18th birthday in February.
Eagle-eyed fans were quick to label his new accessory as the Rolex Submariner Date, which retails for about US$40,000, according to the Evening Standard. The waterproof watch features a royal-blue dial with large luminescent hour markers and is set in an 18k yellow-gold case with a cerachrom bezel insert in blue ceramic.
Originally a divers’ watch when it was released in 1953, Rolex’s latest model pays tribute to its roots and is waterproof for up to 300 metres. The classic watch boasts a unidirectional rotatable bezel and solid-link Oyster bracelet.
It’s not the first time the Beckham heir has sported luxury watches, as he previously rocked a solid silver Submariner from the same brand two years before.
4. Victoria – Patek Philippe Nautilus “Jumbo” (US$160,000)
Introduced in 1976 from the brand’s sporty Nautilus family, the Reference 3700 was known as the “Jumbo” for its large 40mm size at that time and is remains a highly coveted watch.
It is made of 18k yellow gold with a black-blue ribbed dial and flat automatic movement calibre. Only about 1,500 pieces were made until its discontinuation in 2006, making it a rare and valuable watch, according to Superwatchman. The source estimates that its price is about US$160,000.

3. Romeo – Richard Mille RM010 (up to US$195,000)
Following its predecessor RM005, the brand’s first automatic model, the RM010 was launched in 2006 with a similar design and the winding calibre skeletonised automatic movement with hours, minutes, date and variable-geometry rotor, per its website.
But the 18k white-gold case represented an increase in size of 39.3mm, compared to the 37.8mm RM005. Its price varies in the second-hand market and can go up to US$195,000, according to Chrono24.
2. Brooklyn – Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1R (over US$350,000)
Just like his mum, Brooklyn has also shown his love for the Nautilus Jumbo. But his model is the brand’s next generation, the 5711/1R. He’s worn the timepiece while filming his show Cookin’ With Brooklyn as well as on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
Launched in 2006 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus, the 40mm piece also features the iconic octagonal case of the Jumbo, with a case and bracelet both made of 18k rose gold and with a chocolate-brown dial. The octagonal bezel features a brushed finish and high-polished edges. With around 1,200 examples produced, it is worth more than US$200,000, according to Christie’s.

1. David – Patek Philippe Grand Complications Celestial 6102P (US$375,000) and Rolex Daytona Rainbow (up to US$1 million)
The former captain of the England football team also leads his family when it comes to watch collection. Besides being an ambassador for Tudor and Breitling, David also owns watches from Rolex, Patek Philippe and Jacob & Co, according to Wrist Enthusiast.
His Patek Philippe Grand Complications Celestial 6102P has the highest price tag among them, listed at US$375,000. The 44mm case is made of platinum while the “Celestial” refers to its dark blue dial which depicts the night sky chart with stars and the Milky Way. It tracks the phases and orbit of the stars and moon, and also features a mechanical self-winding movement fitted with a 22k gold off-centre mini-rotor.
