Ed Sheeran’s three most spectacular watches
Ed Sheeran is not only one of the world’s biggest pop stars – he is also a serious watch collector. We take a closer look at three of the most striking pieces in his collection.
British musician Ed Sheeran has built a reputation as a global superstar, but beyond the stage he has cultivated a remarkable watch collection. From classic icons to rare haute horlogerie pieces, Sheeran wears his watches both on stage and in private.
Richard Mille RM 26-02 Tourbillon Evil Eye
One of the most eye-catching watches in Sheeran’s collection is the Richard Mille RM 26-02 Evil Eye. The model is known for its artistic dial, featuring a hand-painted flaming eye motif. Equipped with a tourbillon movement and produced in extremely limited numbers, this watch showcases Richard Mille’s avant-garde watchmaking combined with miniature art.
Patek Philippe Nautilus 5726A
Sheeran owns several Patek Philippe Nautilus models, but the 5726A stands out. This reference combines Gérald Genta’s iconic 1976 design with an annual calendar and moonphase complication. Crafted in stainless steel, the Nautilus 5726A is highly sought after and often trades on the secondary market far above retail. Sheeran’s choice reflects his appreciation for timeless classics alongside more flamboyant pieces.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Skeleton
Another highlight in the collection is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Skeleton. The openworked dial reveals the perpetual calendar mechanism, combining technical mastery with the iconic Royal Oak design. For many collectors, it is a dream watch that unites complexity and status.
Pop star and collector
Ed Sheeran’s collection spans from colorful Richard Mille creations to classic Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet models. It demonstrates a passion for watchmaking that goes beyond casual interest. His choices illustrate how luxury watches have become a key element of modern pop culture
