Introduction to Simon Baker
Simon Baker is an Australian actor best known internationally for his lead role as Patrick Jane in the long-running CBS procedural drama The Mentalist, which ran from 2008 to 2015. Before that defining role, Baker built a steady career across both Australian and American productions, with notable turns in The Guardian, Land of the Lost, and the Devil Wears Prada. He has earned Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for his work on The Mentalist, and remains one of the more recognizable Australian exports in Hollywood. Away from television, Baker has appeared in a range of film projects and more recently stepped behind the camera, directing the Australian coming-of-age film Breath in 2017.
The Simon Baker watch collection, as captured in public sightings and on-screen appearances, points toward an understated appreciation for classic Swiss watchmaking — specifically Rolex. The clearest documented example comes from his role in J.C. Chandor's 2011 financial thriller Margin Call, where Baker's character Jared Cohen wears a Rolex Submariner ref. 16613 in two-tone steel and yellow gold, with a blue dial and matching blue aluminum bezel insert. Whether a deliberate costuming choice or drawn from Baker's own wardrobe, the watch fits the character precisely — a senior Wall Street figure whose authority is communicated through restraint rather than excess.
The Rolex Submariner ref. 16613 was manufactured between 1988 and 2010, placing it in the transitional era between Rolex's older aluminum bezel inserts and the later ceramic Cerachrom introduced with the ref. 116613. The two-tone configuration — combining an Oyster bracelet in steel and 18k yellow gold — occupies an interesting space in Rolex collecting. It reads as a watch for someone who has been around long enough not to need to prove anything, which made it a natural fit for the character Baker portrayed on screen.
Simon Baker Spotted Wearing Rolex Submariner Two-Tone Reference 16613
Inserted 30/12/2022
The Rolex Submariner ref. 16613 is one of the most enduring expressions of the two-tone sports watch, pairing 904L stainless steel with 18k yellow gold on case, bracelet, and crown guards — a combination Rolex calls 'Rolesor.' Powered by the in-house Calibre 3135, a movement widely regarded as one of the most reliable automatic movements ever produced, the 16613 remained in production from 1988 to 2010. Simon Baker wears one in character as financier Jared Cohen in the 2011 film Margin Call, where the watch reads precisely as the kind of understated flex a Wall Street operator would choose.
