Dwayne Johnson Wears Diamond-Covered Jacob & Co. Billionaire III at Met Gala

The ultra-rare piece highlights how stars use high-end watches as red-carpet calling cards.

Overview

  • Johnson arrived at the Met Gala with a Jacob & Co. Billionaire III, a rectangular skeleton watch in 18-carat white gold.
  • The watch carries 714 diamonds totaling about 129.6 carats, with stones set across the bracelet, case, inner ring, and movement bridges.
  • The case measures about 54 millimeters, a scale his longtime stylist said only he could pull off.
  • GQ reported a $3.3 million valuation, and Esquire said pricing is on request with only 18 pieces made.
  • Jacob & Co. called the Billionaire III its crown jewel, and previous Met Galas have showcased ruby and emerald versions on other stars.
