Lauren Sanchez is a woman with refined taste. No, we are not referring to her choice of life partner, Amazon co-founder Jeff Bezos, who is also the world’s second-richest man with a net worth of $207 billion. It is about her taste in timepieces. As unique as the ship she sails on, the $500 million Koru megayacht, and as sought after as her friend circle, which includes celebrities like Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian, is the Rolex Oyster Perpetual in Tiffany Blue spotted on her wrist. This coveted 36mm luxury watch, inspired by the vintage Rolex Stella dials from the 1970s, earned the Tiffany Blue dial moniker owing to its resemblance to the iconic shade.
The “Lacquered Stella,” with its eye-catching oyster bracelet, is a true horological beauty that’s hard to come by on shelves, but not for the helicopter-flying Sanchez. The timepiece comprises Oyster Steel for its steel watch cases, making it corrosion-resistant and an ideal choice for Sanchez, who can sport this while flying her machines or hopping onto the tenders of the world’s largest sailing yacht, Koru.
The timepiece was seen on Sanchez’s delicate wrist in an Instagram video where she held her book, “The Fly Who Flew for the First Time.” She captioned the post, ‘Such a surreal feeling to hold this book in my hands for the first time!! @raleighstewart (the incredible talent behind the illustrations), and I can’t wait for you all to read @theflywhoflew!! (coming in September – link in bio to pre-order 😉)’ While the book certainly has us excited, it was her exclusive timepiece that caught our eye. With a price tag nearing $6,000, it remains one of the most striking watches available. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual with a turquoise dial, released in 2020, has seen its value soar over the years.
It closely resembles the coveted Patek Philippe Nautilus Tiffany timepiece and is almost as highly sought after. According to SCMP, celebrities such as Mark Wahlberg, LeBron James, and Tunku Ismail Idris, the crown prince of Johor, Malaysia, have been spotted wearing this watch.
Sanchez’s inclusion on this list is hardly surprising as she is a style icon in every way. From her sartorial choices to her baubles, everything is head-turning; why shouldn’t the timepiece on her wrist be so too?
In 2021, Jeff Bezos launched himself to space on the Blue Origin spacecraft.
