Jul — watch collection

About Jul’s watch collection

Jul, born Julien Mari in Marseille in 1986, is one of the most commercially dominant figures in French rap. Operating largely outside the Parisian industry machine, he built his following through relentless output — releasing multiple projects per year across a career spanning well over a decade. His album sales figures are among the highest in French music history, and he holds the rare distinction of having placed multiple simultaneous albums in the French charts. Despite this level of commercial success, Jul maintains an unusually low public profile, rarely giving interviews and staying largely off the traditional media circuit.

The Jul watch collection, as far as photographers and fans have been able to document, reflects that same understated approach. He has been spotted wearing a Rolex Datejust 41, reference 126333, in two-tone Rolesor — a configuration that combines an Oystersteel case with 18k yellow gold on the fluted bezel, winding crown, and alternating links of the Jubilee bracelet. The dial is champagne-colored, fitted with applied yellow gold index hour markers and Rolex's signature Cyclops lens magnifying the date at 3 o'clock. It is a well-known, widely worn reference rather than a limited or particularly rare piece — which feels consistent with a rapper who seems uninterested in performing wealth for its own sake.

What is notable about Jul's choice is that the Datejust 41 sits in the middle of the Rolex catalog — neither the entry-level Oyster Perpetual nor the high-complication Sky-Dweller favored by artists who lean into luxury signaling. For someone who has sold out arenas and moved millions of records, it reads less like a trophy and more like a considered personal preference.
