Who Wears Rolex Mother of Pearl Watches?

Rolex is world-renowned for their creative and exquisite dials, and mother of pearl models are some of the most sought-after. With its lustrous quality, it adds an immediate air of elegance and luxury to any timepiece. Made of naturally occurring material, and never artificially colored, every mother of pearl Rolex is unlike any other.

No wonder it’s the choice of many tastemakers and celebrities. Here’s how to wear a Rolex mother of pearl watch, as seen on David Beckham, Sofia Vergara, and more.

Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold Mother of Pearl 116518

This edition of the beloved Cosmograph Daytona takes the classic design of the Rolex chronograph and elevates it with precious metal and a shimmering Tahitian MOP dial. It is perfect for individuals who wish to make a bold statement while also adding serious value to their watch collection.

Like the rainbow, the nuances of Tahitian mother-of-pearl are almost endless. They are made of dark, silky gems from the South Seas that shift in color from purple to green. The dial’s dark colors shimmer and change with the light, giving this watch an air of mystery.

Sofia Vergara and Drake have been spotted with this dial on solid 18k yellow gold Daytonas. Drake ups the ante with his ref. 116568BR, adorned with 24 baguette-cut diamonds on the bezel, champagne sub-counters, and brilliant-cut diamonds as hour markers.

Rolex President Day-Date Yellow Gold MOP 118388

No other watch on the market exudes class and elegance quite the same way as a gold and diamond Rolex Day-Date. Add a mother of pearl dial and you have a truly exceptional watch that has what it takes to transcend time and fashion.

Eddie Murphy wears a number of Day-Date models, and his mother of pearl dial version is the most exquisite yet. His choice models are the ref. 128349RBR and ref. 128348RBR, which both have a generous helping of precious gems including those in 18-carat gold settings, baguette-cut diamonds at 6 and 9 o’clock, and pave diamonds on the bezel and center links.

For a more subtle look, the ref. 118388 places the diamonds on the lugs instead of the bracelet. You can also go for the ref. 118348 whose diamonds are concentrated on the dial and bezel.

David Beckham enjoys wearing his yellow gold model with a vintage bund strap or a basic NATO strap, which gives it a toned-down appearance. If you prefer a more understated appeal, a steel and yellow gold model with an Oyster bracelet is also a good choice. Photo from BBC Press Office on Twitter
