Watches

Rolex Submariner 1680 Tiffany & Co.

Worn by Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa. As the now-wealthy champion, Balboa wears a solid 18k yellow-gold Rolex Submariner ref. 1680/8 with a dial co-signed by Tiffany & Co. It is Stallone's own watch: he has called it the piece he is most emotionally attached to, tracked down after seeing one on Gregg Allman in the mid-1970s, and its gold weight measures exactly the distance the character has traveled from the Philadelphia nobody of the first film. The Tiffany-stamped gold Submariner is documented and independently corroborated. (Time+Tide; SuperWatchman; spotting via Watchreel)
