From Coachella to Milan Fashion Week, and from vintage glam to classic ladies’ timepieces, Bad Bunny’s watch game is as bold as his genre-challenging style – see why Puerto Rican superstar and “King of Latin Trap” Bad Bunny is in a league of his own when it comes to style. With nearly a decade of chart-topping hits under his belt, he’s not only become the face of Latin hip-hop and reggaeton – he’s looked the part every step of the way. He is known for his bold, genre-blurring style and his wardrobe reads like a visual mixtape: gender-fluid silhouettes, head-turning statement pieces and era-hopping references that span Y2K, 1970s glam and old Hollywood elegance.

Like his fashion sense, it’s not about the price tag or even exclusivity – though let’s be real, he has access to the rarest timepieces out there. No, for Bad Bunny, 31 – real name Benito Martínez Ocasio – it’s about the story, the unexpectedness, the cool factor.
He’s just as likely to wear a classic women’s watch , with numerous vintage Cartiers, Pateks and Audemars in his collection, as he is a flashy status symbol. Here are some of Bad Bunny’s most elegant and eclectic luxury-watch moments. Rolex Day-Date “Wood Dial” {"@context":"https://schema.

Photo: Handout Bad Bunny’s preference for the unusual over the obvious shines through with this unexpected Rolex.
Rather than opting for the flashiest model in the case, he chose a vintage Rolex Day-Date, a rare late-1970s reference with a wooden dial, reports GQ. It’s a throwback that speaks to the era of wood-panelled cars and shag-carpeted dens, and feels right at home for someone who has never shied away from retro aesthetics.
