Introduction to Marius Borg Høiby



Marius Borg Høiby is the son of Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit, born in 1997 from her relationship before her marriage to Crown Prince Haakon. Though he holds no formal royal title and carries no position in the Norwegian line of succession, he has grown up in close proximity to the Royal House of Norway, occasionally appearing at public engagements and in the Norwegian press. His adult life has largely been kept out of the spotlight, with few formal professional affiliations publicly confirmed, though his family connections place him in a world where a certain level of public interest is unavoidable.

The Marius Borg Høiby watch collection, as tracked by our sightings to date, centers on a single but well-chosen piece: a stainless steel Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116520 with a black dial. The ref. 116520 is a significant choice within the Rolex catalog. Produced from 2000 to 2016, it was the first Daytona to run on Rolex's fully in-house calibre 4130, a column-wheel chronograph movement with a vertical clutch that replaced the previously used Zenith El Primero architecture. On the secondary market, the 116520 in steel with a black dial is a consistently sought-after reference, valued for both its movement credentials and its relatively clean, legible design.

With only one confirmed sighting in our database, it is too early to draw broad conclusions about his collecting habits. What can be said is that the Daytona 116520 is not a casual or accidental purchase — it is a watch that rewards some degree of knowledge about what sits inside the case. Whether this represents the beginning of a broader collection or a single considered acquisition remains to be seen as further sightings emerge.

The Rolex Daytona ref. 116520 was the first Daytona powered entirely in-house, housing Rolex's calibre 4130 — a movement that rendered the legendary Zenith El Primero donor obsolete overnight when it debuted in 2000. The steel case with black dial remains one of the most coveted configurations in modern sports-watch collecting, consistently trading above retail on the secondary market. Marius Borg Høiby, son of Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit, was spotted wearing this understated but unmistakable piece.
