Queen Latifah — watch collection

About Queen Latifah’s watch collection

Queen Latifah — born Dana Elaine Owens in Newark, New Jersey — is one of the most decorated and multi-hyphenate entertainers in American pop culture. She broke through in the late 1980s as a pioneering female rapper, releasing her debut album All Hail the Queen in 1989 and helping reshape what hip-hop could look and sound like for women. From there, her career expanded in every direction: Grammy wins, a Golden Globe win, an Academy Award nomination for Chicago, a long-running sitcom in Living Single, and a starring role in the CBS drama The Equalizer. She has been in the industry for well over three decades and continues to work across music, television, and film with consistent commercial and critical success.

When it comes to watches, Queen Latifah gravitates toward Rolex — which, given her career trajectory, makes a certain kind of sense. She has been spotted wearing the Submariner Date 116613LB, the two-tone reference known in collector circles as the 'Bluesy.' The watch combines a 40mm Oystersteel case with 18k yellow gold applied to the bezel, crown, and the center links of the Oyster bracelet — a construction Rolex calls Yellow Rolesor. The blue ceramic bezel and matching blue dial give the reference a cooler, more composed look than the warmer all-gold variants, while the two-tone build keeps it versatile enough for both casual and formal settings.

The Queen Latifah watch collection, as documented so far, reflects a preference for pieces with real collector credibility rather than outward flash for its own sake. The Submariner Date 116613LB is a reference with strong resale demand and a dedicated following among enthusiasts — not a watch chosen purely for its price tag or visibility, but one that has earned its reputation over time. For an artist who has built her own reputation on substance and range, it is a fitting choice.
