Ed Sheeran’s Mathematics Tour has been nothing short of a global spectacle. Since kicking off in April 2022, the tour has taken him to stadiums across continents, marking a significant chapter in his career. Along the way, he’s made history—becoming the first international artist to perform in Bhutan in January 2025—and is now in India for a series of sold-out shows. As the tour winds down with a final European leg this summer, it’s a fitting time to reflect not just on Sheeran’s music, but on another of his great passions: watches.
For years, Sheeran has quietly built one of the most impressive collections in the industry, blending ultra-rare masterpieces with playful and sentimental picks. Whether he’s wearing a multi-million-dollar Patek on stage or a Casio on a coffee run, his wrist game is as eclectic as his setlists. Here’s a look at some of the standout timepieces from his collection:
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Mathematics Tour” Piece Unique
Ed’s love for watches goes beyond collecting—he’s even had a custom-made piece to mark his global Mathematics tour. This one-of-a-kind Audemars Piguet Royal Oak features hands in different colours, each representing one of his first six studio albums. The dial numbers highlight his daughters’ birthdays, while the rotor is engraved with mathematical symbols tied to his music. It’s a deeply personal piece, blending sentimental value with high horology—and made yet another appearance on his wrist during his concert in Pune this week.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar “John Mayer” Edition
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar “John Mayer” Edition is a stunning titanium timepiece with a unique baby blue sandblasted dial, a departure from AP’s usual Tapisserie pattern. Housing a perpetual calendar complication, it tracks the date, month, leap years, and a photorealistic moon phase. With a 41mm lightweight case, it’s both technical and wearable.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar “Spider-Man”
Taking the Royal Oak into superhero territory, this limited-edition piece features a hand-painted 3D Spider-Man figure on the dial. With only 250 pieces made, it’s a bold statement watch that adds a playful touch to Ed’s collection. It follows AP’s earlier Black Panther release, and while it’s not for everyone, it suits Sheeran’s mix of fun and high-end tastes.
Patek Philippe Nautilus “Tiffany” 5711/1A-018
Possibly the most famous modern Patek, this Tiffany-blue Nautilus was a cultural phenomenon when it dropped in 2021. Limited to just 170 pieces, it was initially priced at $52,500 but immediately skyrocketed at auction, with one piece fetching $6.5 million. Ed wore his during a performance at the 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, cementing his place among the few who managed to get their hands on one.
Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1300A
Another Nautilus, but this time with an olive green dial and a bezel set with 32 baguette diamonds. Released in 2021, this model combines the sporty appeal of the Nautilus with a touch of understated luxury. Despite the diamonds, it remains one of Ed’s more refined choices.
Patek Philippe Split-Second Chronograph 5370
The Patek Philippe Split-Seconds Chronograph 5370 is a masterpiece of haute horology, featuring a 41mm platinum case and a striking Grand Feu enamel black dial with Breguet numerals. Powered by the CHR 29-535 PS hand-wound movement, it boasts a split-seconds chronograph complication, allowing precise timing of multiple events. A true collector’s piece, it embodies Patek’s craftsmanship and technical prowess.
Patek Philippe World Timer 5130R
The Patek Philippe World Timer 5130R is one of Ed Sheeran’s most refined timepieces, blending travel functionality with classic elegance. Featuring a 39.5mm rose gold case and a silver guilloché dial displaying 24 world time zones, it’s powered by the Caliber 240 HU automatic movement, allowing seamless tracking of global time at the push of a button. Sheeran was spotted wearing this understated masterpiece while being awarded Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) at Buckingham Palace in 2017, making it a truly fitting watch for a momentous occasion.
Richard Mille RM26-02 “Evil Eye”
If the Lord of the Rings films had a watch, it would probably be this one. The Richard Mille RM26-02 “Evil Eye” is inspired by the Eye of Sauron, featuring an enamel-painted evil eye in the centre of the dial. Limited to just 25 pieces.
Richard Mille RM27-03 Rafael Nadal Edition
One of Richard Mille’s lightest and most shock-resistant models, the RM27-03 was originally designed for tennis star Rafael Nadal. Ed’s version has a striking red and yellow carbon case and can withstand shocks up to 10,000G—so, theoretically, he could wear it while smashing a guitar on stage.
Rolex Daytona “Rainbow” 116599RBOW
The Rolex Daytona Rainbow is one of the most extravagant Rolex models ever made, featuring a bezel set with gradient-coloured sapphires. Ed owns the white gold version, which adds an even more luxe touch to this already over-the-top design. It’s a watch that screams fun, and Ed isn’t shy about flexing it.
Rolex Daytona “Paul Newman” 6239
On the opposite end of the Rolex spectrum, Ed’s vintage Daytona “Paul Newman” 6239 is one of the most coveted vintage watches in the world. The original Paul Newman-owned version of this reference sold for a staggering $17.8 million at auction, making it the second-most expensive watch ever sold.
Rolex GMT-Master II “Sprite” 126720VTNR
A modern Rolex in Ed’s rotation, the GMT-Master II “Sprite” is the first Rolex GMT designed for left-handers. With a black and green Cerachrom bezel, it’s a playful yet functional choice for a globetrotting musician.
A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus 363.179
A surprising entry in Ed’s collection, the Odysseus is A. Lange & Söhne’s first true luxury sports watch. The stainless steel model with a blue dial offers a more refined, German alternative to the usual Swiss suspects in his lineup.
Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch “Mission to the Moon”
Not everything in Ed’s collection costs a fortune. He was spotted wearing the MoonSwatch “Mission to the Moon,” a $260 bioceramic homage to the legendary Omega Speedmaster. It’s proof that even serious collectors can appreciate the fun side of watch collecting.
Swatch x Blancpain Scuba Fifty Fathoms “Atlantic Ocean”
Adding to his affordable picks, Ed was one of the first celebrities spotted wearing the Swatch x Blancpain Scuba Fifty Fathoms collab. At just $400, it’s a playful take on Blancpain’s legendary dive watch.
Casio G-SHOCK DW6900 “Subtract” Edition
Not one to leave out his own creative input, Ed collaborated with G-SHOCK to release the Subtract edition. Featuring an abstract rendering of his face on the dial, it’s a fun, affordable watch that celebrates his music in a totally different way.
