Boity Thulo — watch collection

About Boity Thulo’s watch collection

Boity Thulo is one of South Africa's most recognisable public figures, building a career that spans television presenting, acting, and music. She rose to prominence as a presenter and personality on South African television before transitioning into music, releasing rap singles that charted locally and established her as a credible voice in the South African hip-hop scene. Beyond entertainment, she has developed a business portfolio that includes her own fragrance line, making her one of the more commercially active celebrities in the country's media landscape.

The Boity Thulo watch collection, as captured by our spotters, currently features a Rolex Datejust ref. 279161 — a 28mm two-tone model in oyster steel and Everose gold, worn on a jubilee bracelet. This is a mid-size Datejust configuration that sits at roughly $11,000 USD on the market. It is a considered choice: the 28mm case size and jubilee bracelet combination is a specific configuration within the Datejust range, leaning toward a refined, dressy wear rather than a sport aesthetic. It signals familiarity with the Rolex catalogue rather than a default grab for the most visible reference.

For a musician and public figure who is regularly photographed at events and industry functions across South Africa, a two-tone Rolex Datejust is a practical anchor piece — versatile enough to move from a press appearance to an evening event. Whether Thulo's collection extends beyond this single Rolex sighting into other references or brands remains to be documented, but the choice of a Datejust in this specific steel-and-gold configuration suggests someone who approaches watchmaking with some deliberate thought rather than impulse.
