Rewind: That Time We Talked Watches With Brooke Shields (Video)
We save the gold-est, and (definitively) heaviest watch in the collection for last. The Rolex Day-Date is the ultimate watch, and Shields chose a celebratory moment to pick hers up. After she landed the show Lipstick Jungle, she headed over to her AD, took one look at this watch, and made it her own. And it’s easy to see what attracted her to it. I mean, just look at that dial – it’s like tie-dye meets dial design with a crazy, almost purplish, sunburst effect beneath the gold Roman numerals. In a way, this watch is the bridge between two eras of her collecting life. You have the modern Rolex sport watch on one side, in a large-ish 36mm sizing, and on the other, the loud, gold, ’80s nature that we see in her early pieces.
