Ed Sheeran, the singer-songwriter and new minority shareholder of Ipswich Town FC, made a stylish entrance at the weekend’s match, but it wasn’t just his support for the team that turned heads. After Ipswich’s victory, Sheeran crashed a post-match interview with Manchester United’s new manager Ruben Amorim, but what caught more attention was the luxury watch on his wrist: a Patek Philippe Aquanaut Ref 5164A-001, valued at around £36,000.
Sporting a rugged yet refined look, the Aquanaut—famously associated with sports and elegance—was the perfect complement to Sheeran’s casual attire. Wearing cuffed Stone Island cargo pants, Nike Air Force 1 Ultra Flyknit sneakers, and an Ipswich Town training top, Sheeran made the high-end timepiece look effortlessly laid-back, even holding a pint of Guinness that matched the watch’s color palette.
The Patek Philippe Aquanaut is a popular choice among both football stars and celebrities, with players like Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka also owning versions. The model is known for its durable 12-bar water resistance, rubber strap, and semi-octagonal case, making it a versatile sports watch that also exudes luxury. While Sheeran is no stranger to wearing high-end watches, he’s equally comfortable sporting more affordable models like his limited-edition G-Shock or a Swatch x Omega collaboration, showing his broad appreciation for both casual and luxury timepieces.
For Sheeran, pairing a £30,000+ watch with a pint of beer might be unconventional, but it’s just another example of his ability to make luxury watch wearing look effortlessly cool—even at the football match.
