Nobu Matsuhisa Spotted Wearing Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar 5496P-015 in Platinum
Inserted 03/05/2023
The Patek Philippe 5496P-015 is one of the few perpetual calendars ever cased in platinum with rose gold hands and indices — a combination that creates a deliberate chromatic tension that sets it apart from the brand's more conventional offerings. Introduced at BaselWorld 2016 and now discontinued, this grand complication sits firmly in the territory of serious horological collecting. Legendary chef and restaurateur Nobu Matsuhisa — the man behind a global empire of Nobu restaurants — chose exactly this level of quiet, considered luxury for his wrist.
Nobu Matsuhisa Spotted Wearing Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pirelli Black DLC Titanium

The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pirelli is one of the most technically audacious collaborations in modern Swiss watchmaking — a fully skeletonized movement married to Pirelli's iconic motorsport rubber in a black DLC titanium case. The dial-side exposure of the RD505SQ caliber leaves virtually no metal hidden from view, making it as much sculpture as timepiece. Celebrity chef Nobu Matsuhisa, the Japanese-Peruvian culinary legend behind the global Nobu restaurant empire, clearly has taste that extends well beyond the kitchen.
Nobu Matsuhisa Spotted Wearing Hublot Spirit of Big Bang 'West Coast' Ceramic Ref. 641.CI.0112.VR.EWC17
Inserted 04/12/2022
The Spirit of Big Bang's tonneau case — a deliberate structural departure from the round Big Bang — houses a skeletonized manufacture movement that exposes Hublot's micromechanical architecture in full. Reference 641.CI.0112.VR.EWC17 renders that architecture in a striking black-and-white ceramic combination, a palette tied to the 'West Coast' limited edition. On the wrist of Nobu Matsuhisa, the Japanese chef and restaurateur behind one of the world's most recognizable culinary empires, the piece reads less as flash and more as considered design literacy.
