Tunku Ismail Idris is the Tunku Mahkota or Crown Prince of Johor, heir apparent and first in line of succession to the throne of Johor. Just so you know, Johor is a state in southern Malaysia linked to Singapore by causeways.


He is the eldest son of the current Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Ismail and his consort Permaisuri of Johor, Raja Zarith Sofiah.


Among the watch community, the Crown Prince is known as a very passionate watch lover, and his collection is just insane! Probably, he has all kind of watches in his collection, like from MoonSwatch, Rolex, Patek Philippe, and also customized watches such as those from Artisans de Geneve.


On his Instagram page, you can easily spot him wearing different watches. Trust me, his collection is super insane!

The glass construction, the "hidden" S integrated into the center of the glass, the fine, sophisticated circle pattern on the outer ring of the dial and the smaller dials, the sharp and flexible leg construction, the iconic "dot over 90" detail on the tachymeter scale bezel, and of course the unique element of Bioceramic is common to all models and shows a passionate love for details.

Watch Collection of The Crown Prince of Johor - Rolex Daytona Rainbow 116595RBOW​​

Considering one of the most colourful, funnest, and playful modern watches, the Rolex Daytona Rainbow comes in three different models: rose gold (116595RBOW), yellow gold (116598RBOW), and white gold (116599RBOW). The yellow gold and white gold Daytonas were released in 2012 before the rose gold reference in 2018.


The rose gold is set with 47 sapphires: 36 baguette-cut sapphires decorate the bezel in Rainbow colours, and 11 additional colourful sapphires serving as the hour markers. In the yellow gold and white gold version, there are only 36 baguette-cut sapphires on the bezel and eight brilliant-cut diamonds serving as hour markers. 

In all models, the fun doesn't stop here because there are still 56 brilliant-cut diamonds sitting on the lugs and crown guards. I also should mention the crystallization on the sub-dials giving them a shimmering finish; thus, we can see the white gold, rose gold, or yellow gold crystals.


The watch is currently selling between $500,000 to $700,000 (or probably more) on the secondary market, depending on which model. The rose gold reference has the highest market price.
