Spotlight on: Kevin Hart, and his Rolex watch collection.
Comedian, actor, and producer Kevin Hart is known in watch circles as one of the most
prolific watch collectors in Hollywood.
He might be known for his self-deprecating humor, but when it comes to his career - and
watch collecting hobby - he means serious business.
Kevin favors Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and Richard Mille watches, and continues
to grow his collection for every career milestone.
We're putting the spotlight on Kevin Hart’s Rolex collection.

Kevin calls himself a "Daytona-head", with his vast collection of Rolex Cosmograph Daytona
watches.
He has stainless steel Daytonas, both vintage and ceramic on rotation, but he also loves
the precious metal versions.
Kevin has the Everose gold, ceramic bezel version of the Daytona launched in 2011.
This model was the first Daytona with a Cerachrom bezel, and the first to have a single piece
of ceramic holding the crystal in place, to ensure waterproofness.
Kevin also has the 50th anniversary Daytona, introduced in 2013.
To mark this milestone, Rolex introduced the very first Daytona to be made in the noblest
of all metals - platinum.
Of course, it also came with a glacier blue dial, which Rolex reserves for its platinum
watches.
A rich, chestnut brown tachymeter bezel beautifully completes the look.
Kevin also has the very vibrant 'Rainbow' Daytona, that all the A-list Hollywood stars
have been spotted with.
The Rainbow edition Daytona features a multi-coloured, baguette-cut sapphire bezel and hour markers,
whose gems form a glittering rainbow.
Kevin also has quite the fondness for solid yellow gold Rolex watches, which are very
apt for his go-big-or-go-home persona.
He has the 50th anniversary Rolex GMT-Master Two, whose dark green dial echoes the brand's
signature green logo.
This special edition model was also the very first Rolex, to feature the Cerachrom ceramic
bezel - a fitting tribute to the GMT-Master's half-century milestone.
Kevin's choice Rolex Day-Date is the Day-Date Two, launched in 2008 to meet the market's
demand for larger cases.
Measuring 41 millimeters, the Day-Date Two has thicker and wider proportions than the
traditional Day-Date, giving an unmistakable visual statement on the wrist.
Kevin's watch features baguette diamond hour markers, and rubies at 6 and 9 o'clock.
He also wears an all-gold variation of the Rolex Daytona, dubbed “the modern Paul Newman”.
This model recalls the signature tri-tone dial of Newman's personal Rolex Daytona, but
adds the size, substance, and style of the modern Cosmograph to the equation.
Kevin also has white gold Rolex models in his watch box.
Even with their monochromatic color schemes, his choice timepieces standout.
He wears the 18k white gold Rolex Sky-Dweller, featuring a black dial and white gold Arabic
numerals.
Launched in 2012, the Sky-Dweller is a step away from other Rolex watches, with its highly
complicated features.
It has date, annual calendar, and dual-time functionalities, which are perfect for globetrotters
like Kevin.
The Rolex Day-Date Two was discontinued in 2016 to make way for the Day-Date 40, whose
proportions are more refined and in line with the traditional Day-Date.
We can see why Kevin likes the Day-Date Two - the bulkier case exudes a somewhat sportier
feel.
He wears a white gold Day-Date Two with a grey dial and Arabic numerals.
Kevin may be partial to his Rolex sports watches, but he's also quite fond of Rolex's tuxedo
watch: the Cellini.
His choice model is the Cellini Moonphase -- the first Rolex to feature a moonphase
complication since the 1950s.
It brought back an old-school complication, but still in the modern-yet-classic look of
today’s Rolex Cellini.
Kevin Hart’s Rolex watch collection is bold and striking, much like the man himself.
