About Sam Smith’s watch collection
Sam Smith is an English singer and songwriter who rose to global prominence with their debut studio album 'In the Lonely Hour' in 2014. The album produced the hit single 'Stay With Me,' which topped charts in multiple countries and earned Smith four Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year and Best New Artist. Since then, Smith has remained a fixture in popular music, collaborating with artists ranging from Disclosure to Kim Petras, with their 2022 collaboration 'Unholy' reaching number one in over 30 countries. Beyond their musical output, Smith has built a strong public profile as a fashion-forward figure, regularly appearing at major red carpet events and fashion weeks.
When it comes to watches, the Sam Smith watch collection currently documented here centers on a particularly bold Rolex choice. Smith has been spotted wearing the Rolex Day-Date II President in yellow gold, fitted with a diamond and ruby dial. The Day-Date II is a larger 41mm successor to the original Day-Date, powered by Rolex's in-house Calibre 3156 movement, and the yellow gold President bracelet has long been associated with heads of state and high-profile entertainers. The diamond and ruby dial configuration places this piece firmly at the top of the Day-Date's customisation options, making it one of the more personalized and high-value references Rolex produces.
Smith's lean toward the Day-Date in its most dressed-up configuration is consistent with their broader aesthetic — bold, unapologetic, and deliberately visible. A yellow gold Rolex President with gem-set dial is not a watch that blends into the background, and for an artist who has built a career on emotional directness and strong personal expression, that choice feels deliberate rather than incidental.
