Ed Sheeran has long been one of the most prodigious watch guys in the world with the “Shape of You” singer building a vast collection of Rolex’s, Richard Mille’s and Patek Phillippe’s.
He’s a particularly enthusiastic collector of Rolex, amounting tens of watches, including some rare pieces with an estimated value in the millions.
In a video posted by Friends star, Courtney Cox, on her Instagram, Sheeran can be seen rather messily making some pasta in her kitchen, while wearing the brand new Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 with a Jubilee motif.

Released earlier this year as part of Rolex’s 100th anniversary celebrations of the Oyster Perpetual, this new iteration features a multi-colour lacquered monogrammed dial, much in the same vein as pop art inspired Puzzle watch which found famous admirers in the forms of Harry Kane and Lionel Messi but has since been discontinued by the company.
These watches are a colourful new endeavour for the largely conservative Rolex, seemingly aimed at a younger crowd, and have quickly been embraced by the celebrity class, while some are of the belief that these new models stray too far from tradition.
Sheeran was most recently seen wearing a Rolex Daytona Panda when he attended the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final in New York. Joining comedian Trevor Noah on a livestream during the largely derided halftime show, Sheeran, beer in hand, was wearing the Panda that was famously gifted to him by John Mayer.
Otherwise, he has one of the most eclectic watch collections out there including a completely one-off Patek Philippe 5320G. Sheeran’s version is exactly the same as other 5320G’s except for one small detail – it includes his hometown of Framlingham on the dial instead of London. Sheeran asked Patek if they would customise the watch for him and they duly obliged with the pop star later spotted wearing it during a return to his hometown.
Sheeran also boasts a completely unique Audemars Piguet perpetual calendar (QP) made out of white ceramic. What makes this watch special is the panda dial featuring black subdials as well as six hands that are all different colours to represent each of his studio albums. The rotor is also customised with the mathematical symbols Sheeran names his albums after and the numbers printed in red on the dial highlight his children’s birthdays, making this an entirely personal one-off.
Sheeran also has a Patek Philippe 5726 that he had customised by George Bamford, who has worked on numerous watches for the singer. Sheeran’s 5726 features some subtle diversions from the catalogue including his initials on the dial, but is less customised than his series of Nautilus 5726 Annual Calendar’s, which he had modified to mark each of his albums up to that point.
