Jay-Z Spotted Wearing the Unique Rolex Perpetual Calendar Modified by Franck Muller
In the middle of this very ritual over the past weekend, I came across a rather peculiar looking timepiece. Clicking through, on said watch, I realized what I was looking at was a very recent picture of a very fabled watch that’s been missing from the light of existence for quite some time now. What I was looking at was the piecé unique, 16238 Rolex Perpetual Calendar that was created as a modified watch by none other than the master of complications, Franck Muller — set on a bark finished President’s bracelet.
Now, Jay-Z appeared earlier in the weekend on the debut of CNN’s new show hosted by news commentator, Van Jones. He was sporting his new grown out hair, a vest and rolled up sleeves, which then made it easy enough to recognize that he had a gold, Rolex Oyster cased watch on his wrist. The coin edge further suggesting that it was either a Datejust or Day-Date.
A quick bit of snooping around and before you know it, more and more blurry images of Jay-Z’s wrist turn up on wristwatch spotting Instagram accounts suggesting that he was, in fact, in possession of the Rolex Perpetual Calendar.
These days, though, it’s tough to believe anything you see on social media (#fakenews). But, of course, if you see a bit of information, repeated and verified several times, it becomes easier to believe.
Then today, at the Clive Davis and Recording Academy Pre-Grammy Gala and Grammy Salute to Industry Icons ceremony, honouring Jay-Z, when Jay-Z got up to receive his award it became unquestionable that the rap mogul was, in fact, sporting the Rolex Perpetual Calendar modified by Franck Muller.
