\nAs one of the richest pop stars in the world, with a net worth of around US$200 million, you might expect Ed Sheeran to splurge on lavish properties, private jets and fancy cars. But did you know that the notoriously dressed-down British singer \u2013 who has also written two mega-hits for K-pop\u2019s BTS (2019\u2019s Make It Right and 2021\u2019s Permission to Dance) \u2013 has a serious penchant for exquisite timepieces? In fact, it\u2019s estimated that the Grammy winner\u2019s luxury watch collection is worth over US$6 million.

\nIn 2019, the 31-year-old revealed that he had been collecting watches since he was 20 and that he got hooked on timepieces partly because of notable watch freak (and fellow pop star) John Mayer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have bought watches for big occasions or momentous things that have happened in my life and career. I can pinpoint each watch to a special moment in my life. An IWC Big Pilot for my 22nd birthday, or a Patek Philippe<\/a> 5004 for being nominated for my first Grammy (in 2012). Many memories and many watches, but they are all just as special and hold just as much meaning,\u201d he shared with the Hodinkee community of watch lovers and enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s take a closer look at some of most prized pieces from the singer\u2019s timepiece collection.<\/p>\n

\nPatek Philippe 2499<\/strong>
\nDuring the UK premiere of Yesterday in 2019, Sheeran was snapped wearing an extremely rare and vintage Patek Philippe 2499 perpetual calendar chronograph with moon phases. Only 349 pieces of the model were ever produced between 1950 and 1985, and at Sotheby\u2019s auction in 2018, one of the most remarkable wristwatches that Patek Philippe ever designed was sold for US$3.9 million.<\/p>\n
