The 7 Best Watches of the Week, From Kevin Hart's Patek Philippe to Colman Domingo's Omega
Carlos Alcaraz and Coco Gauff weren't the only people showing off enviable wrist candy this week.
Comedian Kevin Hart delivered a punchy monologue at the BET Awards on Monday evening, wearing an equally punchy Patek Philippe Split Seconds Chronograph that typically commands around $400,000 on the secondary market. Actor Jonathan Daviss and singer Giveon also attended the ceremony, sporting timepieces by TAG Heuer and Cartier, respectively.

English footballer Trent Alexander-Arnold took a leaf out of Hart's book, rocking a dazzling Patek as he signed with Real Madrid on Thursday. At the slightly more subtle end of the watch-flexing spectrum, actors Colman Domingo and Kieran Culkin both showed off Omegas on the streets of New York City on Wednesday. We also spotted movie star Christian Slater wearing a Rolex Datejust as he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday.
Below are the best watch flexes of the week.

Trent Alexander-Arnold kicked off his career with Real Madrid in wonderful fashion. The British soccer star wore what appeared to be a Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5711 with an olive green dial and diamond-set bezel during his unveiling as a new player on Thursday. Released in April 2021, this limited edition was in production for about one year before Patek discontinued the model. The timepiece was reportedly only distributed to VIP clients, too. (Mark Wahlberg, Sylvester Stallone, Drake, and Ed Sheeran are a few of the A-listers in possession of the wrist candy.) As such, the reference is exceedingly difficult and extremely expensive to buy on the secondary market. Pre-owned examples on Chrono24 start at about $600,000, to give you an idea.
Kevin Hart likely won the hearts of horophiles wearing his Patek Philippe Split Seconds chronograph to the BET Awards on Monday. Produced for a scant period of 16 years (from 1996 to 2012), this holy grail timepiece houses a sophisticated split seconds chronograph and a perpetual calendar in a remarkably small 36.5 mm case. Even holier than the average Ref. 5004 is Hart's Ref. 5004G: It is estimated that only roughly 140 of these white-gold references were made, making them rarer than both yellow-gold and platinum examples. The white-gold grails go for around $400,000 on the secondary market.
Giveon channeled Keith Richards at the 2025 BET Awards, wearing a Panthère de Cartier watch like his fellow singer-songwriter famously did throughout his rock 'n' roll career. This particular Panthère watch (currently unavailable on the Cartier website) features a 23.6 mm yellow gold case set with 134 brilliant-cut diamonds and a panther head fitted with pear-shaped tsavorite eyes. The 'Chicago Freestyle' singer paired the small but striking timepiece with a Clash de Cartier necklace, Cartier Juste un Clou pin, and not one but two Trinity de Cartier rings. Now that's how you accessorize for a red carpet, gents.
Kieran Culkin might believe in good horological juju. The A Real Pain star is still rocking the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra he wore when he won the SAG award for Best Supporting Actor. The two-tone timepiece features a 38 mm case and bracelet in steel and the Swiss watchmaker's proprietary Moonshine gold, as well as a sun-brushed burgundy dial with a black gradient effect and gold accents. Culkin appears to be a fan of red dials: He wore a Seamaster Aqua Terra Shades with a terra-cotta dial to the Golden Globes earlier this year. He won then, too; maybe Omegas with red dials are good luck. The Seamaster with a burgundy dial will cost you $13,600.
Jonathan Daviss, famous for playing Pope Heyward in Netflix's Outer Banks, rocked a red carpet–worthy TAG Heuer Carrera Date at this year's BET Awards. A sleek, contemporary riff on the 1960s Carrera, the timepiece features a steel 39 mm case and a matching silver sunray dial. The iconic TAG Heuer shield occupies pride of place at 12 o'clock while a date window sits at 6. Flip it over, and the high-performance Calibre 5 automatic movement can be fully appreciated through the sapphire caseback. The entry-level model is priced at $3,300.
Could Colman Domingo be the new James Bond? He's certainly dressing his wrist like he is. The multihypenate wore the sleek 007 edition of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M on the streets of New York City on Wednesday. The dive watch is identical to the one worn by the world-famous spy (played by Daniel Craig) in No Time to Die, with a 42 mm titanium case, a brown tropical dial and bezel, and the in-house Co-Axial Master Chronometer 880. It also features the 'Broad Arrow' logo at six o'clock in homage to the military watches of the past. Released in 2019 in tandem with the film, the timepiece was originally priced at $9,200 but now costs $10,600.
Christian Slater wore a rather understated Rolex Datejust 36 as he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday. This modern iteration of the 1945 original was produced from 2004 to 2019. In that 15-year run, Ref. 116200 was issued with many different dial variations, from a two-tone 'tuxedo' design to a pink floral face. The Ref. 116200 was also given a new smooth bezel in place of the fluted original and finished in the newly introduced Oystersteel. Slater's example features a black dial with large indices and a President's bracelet. You can pick up a similar piece for under $10,000.
