In a heartwarming turn of events, actor Keanu Reeves has been reunited with his stolen Rolex Submariner, more than a year after it was taken during a burglary at his Los Angeles home. The timepiece, valued at $9,000, held deep sentimental value as part of a special gift Reeves gave to his John Wick stunt team in 2021.
A Meaningful Gesture Turned Target
Reeves originally commissioned multiple Rolex Submariners for his stunt crew, each engraved with “The John Wick Five,” the recipient’s name, and a personal thank-you message. His own watch bore the inscription: “Keanu, 2021, JW4, thank you, The John Wick Five.”
The burglary in December 2023 saw three watches stolen, including Reeves’ personalized piece. Authorities remained tight-lipped during the investigation, but the trail eventually led to Santiago, Chile, where local police uncovered the timepiece during an operation targeting a string of robberies.
Recovery and Relief
CNN confirmed the safe retrieval of the watch, marking the end of its unexpected journey across borders. No details have been released about potential arrests or the whereabouts of the other stolen items.
Fans and watch enthusiasts alike celebrated the news, praising the persistence of law enforcement and the emotional significance of the recovery. Reeves, known for his humility and generosity, has yet to publicly comment—but the return of his cherished Rolex closes a poignant chapter in the John Wick legacy.
