Despite the fact that we fly into space, and cars on the roads can do without us, many still believe the rumor that watches cannot be given as a gift. But foreign and American celebrities prove the opposite - they can and should be given, especially to your loved ones.

So, are expensive watches a sign of luxury or intimacy? You decide! But we know exactly how popular this gift is among celebrities.

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez
You probably know that quite recently the couple broke up, but still the entire period of their relationship was marked by expensive gifts. For example, on her 50th birthday, Jay Lo received a $14,000 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS from her fiancé. And Lopez, in turn, on Valentine's Day in 2019, pleased the athlete with an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch for 24.3 thousand dollars.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
The marriage of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, alas, also ceased to exist, but they just as well managed to please each other with good gifts. In 2014, before the wedding, Jolie gave her future husband a unique Patek Philippe Ref. 2458 from 1952 in a platinum 36mm case. Incidentally, it originally belonged to Joe Ben Champion Jr., a successful criminal lawyer, avid collector and one of Patek Philippe's most important mid-century clients. The dial is even engraved with his name.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z
In a more stable union, relative to the previous ones, again the woman was able to make her lover happy with an expensive gift. Beyoncé gave her husband, watch collector rapper Jay-Z, a $5 million Hublot Big Bang for his 43rd birthday in 2012. The Haute Joaillerie class model is a living embodiment of the word “brilliance”: it is entirely, from the case to the crown, studded with selected Top Wesselton diamonds of the same clarity and quality.

Robert Downey Jr and Ben Stiller
Expensive watches are given to each other not only by lovers, but also by old friends. In an interview with GQ, Iron Man talked about his watch collection and mentioned a gift to another successful actor, Ben Stiller, a Bell & Ross Titanium Orange watch.

“I gave this watch to Ben Stiller when we were filming Tropic Troopers together, but he said it was too big for him and gave it back to me. I haven't spoken to him since. Actually, I just lied to you. He gave me this watch.”

Victoria and David Beckham
In our selection, there was another long-lived union: Victoria and David have been together for more than 20 years, and in such a long and happy marriage, the gifts are appropriate. In honor of Victoria's 40th birthday, the famous husband presented her with a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona in pink gold with a personal engraving.

Anastasia Ivleeva and Eldzhey
Known for her funny videos and outrageous live antics, Nastya Ivleeva also makes interesting gifts. Perhaps, already to her ex-husband, but this is not certain, Nastya presented Eldzhey with an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch for his birthday, which the rapper's subscribers immediately learned about.
