About Salmo’s watch collection
Salmo, born Maurizio Pisciottu, is one of Italy's most distinctive and influential rappers. Raised in Olbia, Sardinia, he broke into the mainstream Italian hip-hop scene in the early 2010s and has since built a reputation for raw lyricism, a sharp visual identity, and a willingness to push boundaries within the genre. His albums, including Hellvisback and Playlist, cemented his status as a leading voice in Italian rap, and his live performances — including a controversial drone show over Olbia that sparked national debate — reflect an artist who operates on his own terms. Beyond music, Salmo has cultivated a devoted following through his unfiltered persona and a strong presence across fashion and streetwear culture.
When it comes to watches, the Salmo watch collection leans toward prestige and performance, with Rolex being the brand most clearly associated with him. He has been photographed wearing a Rolex Daytona reference 116523, a two-tone model in stainless steel and 18k yellow gold featuring a silver dial. The ref. 116523 is a well-regarded variant of the Daytona lineup, equipped with the Rolex calibre 4130 movement and a Oysterflex or integrated bracelet depending on configuration. At a market price around €19,000, it sits firmly in collector territory without veering into the ultra-rare segment — a practical choice for someone who actually wears their watches rather than vaults them.
The choice of a Daytona — a watch rooted in motorsport chronograph heritage — fits naturally with Salmo's approach to personal style: functional, recognizable, and carrying genuine credibility in the circles that pay attention. It signals an awareness of watch culture without performing it.
