A Rolex on DiCaprio's Wrist, an Unusual Sight

These pages don’t typically chronicle the wrist-wearing habits of celebrities, but seeing Leonardo DiCaprio wear a Rolex is worth a write-up. Since 2023, the actor is an investor in the eco-friendly micro-brand ID Genève, as highlighted in Coronet’s Future of Milgauss long read.

Pictures of DiCaprio wearing a Rolex are extremely hard to come by. But last week, the actor sat court-side at a Lakers game, a white-gold Daytona in full view. The Rolex Daytona reference 116509, with its distinctive Arabic-numeral “Racing” dial, has been discontinued by the brand.

While the Daytona doesn't need more Hollywood stardust, its presence on the wrist of one of the biggest high-profile environmental advocates — also known to be selective in his wrist-wear choices — is an undeniable win for Rolex.
