During a recent livestream with fellow KATSEYE members, fans couldn’t help but notice a striking accessory on Sophia Laforteza’s wrist: a gleaming Rolex Datejust. The luxury watch, featuring a white gold Jubilee bracelet and a signature aubergine dial, quickly became the focus of online buzz after a fan on X (formerly Twitter) identified the model. One user quipped, “She’s wearing somebody’s annual salary on her wrist,” underscoring the timepiece’s opulence.
While the spotlight has only recently fallen on the watch, it’s far from a one-time statement. Sophia has been seen wearing the Rolex Datejust on multiple occasions, pairing it effortlessly with casual outfits. In another livestream, she styled the watch with an all-black ensemble. She also sported it during a rehearsal, matched with oversized parachute pants and a ringer baby tee gifted by rapper Playboi Carti.
The watch has quietly become a staple in Sophia’s off-duty wardrobe, adding a touch of sophistication to her laid-back style.
A Closer Look at the Rolex Datejust 36 With Aubergine Dial
The Rolex Datejust is one of the brand’s most iconic timepieces, known for its timeless design and enduring popularity among collectors and newcomers alike. The model worn by Sophia is the 36mm Oyster Perpetual version, distinguished by its diamond-set aubergine dial and white gold Jubilee bracelet.
The dial features Roman numerals VI and IX in 18-carat gold, each adorned with 24 diamonds, adding a luxurious detail to the already striking face. The sunray finish gives the dial a unique depth and brilliance, achieved through an intricate brushing technique that radiates light from the center outward.
Built with Rolex’s hallmark Oyster case, the watch is waterproof and scratch-resistant, designed to endure the elements. Inside, the Perpetual movement offers self-winding functionality powered by the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist.
Currently listed at ₱692,500 on Rolex’s official website, the Datejust 36 with aubergine dial is a highly sought-after piece. Due to limited availability, buyers often face long waitlists, and resale prices typically surpass the retail tag.
Whether on stage or off-duty, Sophia Laforteza’s Rolex is more than just a fashion accessory—it’s a statement of style and status.
