About Robert Herjavec’s watch collection
Robert Herjavec is a Croatian-Canadian entrepreneur, author, and television personality best known as one of the recurring investors on the American version of Shark Tank and its Canadian counterpart, Dragons' Den. Born in Varaždin, Croatia, he immigrated to Canada as a child and built his fortune from the ground up, founding BRAK Systems, which he sold to AT&T Canada, and later establishing The Herjavec Group, one of North America's fastest-growing IT security firms. His business profile extends well beyond television — he has written multiple books on entrepreneurship and sales, and his company has appeared on the Deloitte Fast 50 list of Canada's fastest-growing tech companies. He is a licensed race car driver with genuine podium finishes, which adds a competitive, performance-oriented dimension to his public persona.
The Robert Herjavec watch collection, based on what has been captured on camera, leans toward the upper tier of the Rolex catalogue. The most significant sighting to date placed him wearing a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 116506 — the platinum Daytona — alongside television personality Kym Johnson. This is not a watch that turns up on many wrists. Unveiled at Baselworld 2013 to mark the Daytona's 50th anniversary, the 116506 is the only Daytona Rolex has ever produced in 950-grade platinum, featuring an ice-blue dial that is exclusive to Rolex's platinum pieces. It is produced in limited numbers and commands significant premiums on the secondary market.
The choice of a platinum Daytona is consistent with Herjavec's broader profile — a man with genuine ties to motorsport wearing a watch originally designed for racing drivers, but in the rarest metal configuration Rolex offers. It suggests a collector who buys with some knowledge of the catalogue rather than defaulting to the most visible options. With only one confirmed sighting in our database so far, there is likely more to this collection than what the cameras have caught.
