With film festivals, fashion weeks, and multiple premieres all happening in tandem this week, we spotted some seriously beautiful dress watches on the wrists of celebrities. Brad Pitt flexed a coveted Patek Philippe Calatrava. Jennifer Lopez showed off a gorgeous gold Cartier Panthère. Manny Jacinto sported an otherworldly Chopard L.U.C. with a moon phase. And the perennially dapper Paul Anthony Kelly donned an elegant Vacheron Constantin Patrimony.
We clocked a few standout sport watches, too. Mark Zuckerberg rocked a newly released H. Moser & Cie. Lewis Hamilton strapped on a tourbillon that Richard Mille created with Ferrari. And Roger Federer wore a trusty steel Rolex Datejust.
Below are the best watch flexes of the week.

Paul Anthony Kelly: Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date
Image Credit: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images, Vacheron Constantin Paul Anthony Kelly has proven, once again, that he is one of the most dapper gents in the biz, wearing a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date at an event for American Horror Story: 13 in New York City. Unveiled in late 2016, the elegant dress watch features a 42.5 mm pink-gold case, a silvered opaline dial, and a blue alligator strap. As the name suggests, the watch also has a retrograde date display combined with a moon phase. It retails for $57,500.

Jennifer Lopez: Cartier Panthère

The Panthère in question, based on the ‘80s original, combines yellow gold and white diamonds. The case, bracelet, bezel, and crown are adorned with some 187 brilliant-cut diamonds, adding a touch of glitz and glamor to the traditional silvered dial with blued-steel hands. You can pick one up for $67,000.

Brad Pitt: Patek Philippe Calatrava
Image Credit: Juan Naharro Gimenez/WireImage/Getty, Sotheby’s Brad Pitt did a little high-low dressing, wearing a casual denim ensemble (a Canadian tuxedo) with an elegant Patek Philippe at the San Sebastián International Film Festival. This particular iteration (Ref. 2526) was introduced in 1953 and produced only up until 1960, making horological history as Patek’s first automatic watch thanks to the self-winding Caliber 12-600. It is estimated that only a few thousand were made. Pitt’s appears to be a yellow-gold example with a guilloché bracelet. You can expect to pay six figures for a similar piece on the secondary market.

Lewis Hamilton: Richard Mille RM 43-01 Ferrari Tourbillon
Image Credit: Altan Gocher / Hans Lucas / AFP via Getty Images, Richard Mille Lewis Hamilton is gearing up for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in very stylish fashion, wearing a Richard Mille watch at the Baku City Circuit ahead of the race. Released last year in two variations (titanium and Carbon TPT), the RM 43-01 Ferrari Tourbillon features a 42.9 mm case and a striking skeletonized dial that spotlights the complex inner workings of the manually wound RM43-01 movement within. The watch, designed in partnership with Prancing Horse, also nods to supercars. The bezel, for example, showcases grooves reminiscent of the hood of a Ferrari. Each reference is limited to 75 pieces, with the titanium priced at $1.3 million and the Carbon TPT (like Hamilton’s) at $1.5 million.

Manny Jacinto: Chopard L.U.C Lunar Twin
Image Credit: Savion Washington/Getty Images for DreamWorks Animation, Chopard Manny Jacinto wore an otherworldly Chopard to the premiere of Forgotten Island in Los Angeles this week. Released in 2014, the L.U.C Lunar Twin is distinguished by an unorthodox, asymmetrical layout with a moon phase at 1 o’clock on the silver sunburst dial. The complication shows the moon phases for both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, with a 135-tooth driving wheel that drastically enhances accuracy, deviating by just one day every 122 years. The white-gold beauty originally retailed for $26,550.

Mark Zuckerberg: H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Tourbillon Concept Ceramic
Image Credit: Andrej Sokolow/picture alliance via Getty Images/H. Moser & Cie. There was no missing the Moser on Mark Zuckerberg’s wrist at the Meta Connect developer conference this week. Released in February, the new Streamliner Tourbillon Concept Ceramic features a 40 mm cushion-shaped case and integrated bracelet in anthracite gray ceramic, with alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces. At the center, the eye-catching red fumé grand feu enamel dial is free of indices and logos, allowing the flying tourbillon (the trusty caliber HMC 805) at 6 o’clock to be the star. The watch is priced at 89,000 Swiss francs (about $115,000).

Roger Federer: Rolex Datejust
Image Credit: Clive Brunskill/Getty Images for Laver Cup, Rolex Roger Federer has no shortage of incredible Rolexes in his collection—the perks of being a long-time ambassador for the Crown, eh?—but he strapped on a relatively modest Datejust for a meet-and-greet ahead of the Laver Cup. Released in 2017, this particular example (Ref. 126334) pairs a 41 mm case in Oystersteel and white gold with a striking ombré green dial, a fluted bezel, and an Oyster bracelet. The watch retails for $11,650.
