DECLAN RICE has had a storming start to the season with Arsenal and England.
The midfielder, 27, has linked up with the Three Lions for their upcoming Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain this week.
And for the Gunners, he has led the charge to defend their Premier League title by helping Mikel Arteta’s side go five points clear at the top.
Away from the pitch, Rice has amassed a stunning set of watches.
From pricey Audemars Piquet timepieces to a plethora of Rollies, SunSport estimates his collection is worth a staggering £1.6million….
In 2022, when Rice was voted Hammer of the Year, he was spotted wearing “The Sprite”, as this timepiece is commonly nicknamed.
It is designed for left-handed wearers who wear their watch on their right wrist. The winding crown and crown guard are relocated to the left side of the case.
The date window is moved to the 9 o’clock position.
Rice also has a standard-sided version of this same watch.
Rice was spotted in the Le Mans special edition Daytona at the 2025 PFA Awards.
It’s a rare cosmograph that’s only available to Rolex VIPs.
His 100th Anniversary version is in 18ct yellow gold, and features a black face.
Because it was discontinued in 2025, it will rise in value through the years – meaning it’s a real collector’s item.
Continuing his love for Rolex, Rice’s everyday runner is a standard Land-Dweller.
This 40mm model is a tribute to the 1970s Oysterquartz models, and sits between the Datejust and Day-Date in price point.
It is powered by Rolex’s in-house Calibre 7135 high-frequency automatic mechanical movement, meaning it gives high-precision time measurement.
The impressive bezel comes in a striking 18ct white gold.
In 2024, Rice wore the Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222 at the London Football Awards, where he was crowned Premier League player of the year.
This model is a modern revival of the brand’s iconic 1977 jumbo sports model originally designed by Jörg Hysek.
It features a 37mm tonneau-shaped case with a distinct scalloped bezel, integrated tapering bracelet, and the signature gold Maltese Cross nestled on the corner of the case at 5 o’clock.
It is an 18ct yellow gold piece that’s very gentlemanly.
While on his travels for Arsenal, or on England duty, Rice has been spotted flashing a stunning Day-Date.
Another notable yellow-gold number, a colour detail Rice seems to be fond of, this features an orange carnelian dial and diamonds in the hour markers.
Incredibly, its price has more than doubled in value on the second-hand market.
Some sellers want as much as £260,000 for it.
Rice is believed to own a few of the Royal Oak models.
One of those is an extra thin 39mm model in platinum with a blended green dial.
At the Euros, he was seen with a black ceramic chronograph Royal Oak which can cost up to £120,000.
Again, they’re proper watch collector’s timepieces.
When Rice loves a specific watch, he tends to buy in bulk.
He’s believed to own two of Patek Philippe’s most popular and iconic range, the Nautilus.
They were discontinued in 2022, so they’ll only grow in value.
Rice is said to have the stainless steel Travel Time chronograph and the 5711/1A version with a blue dial.
The Aquanaut collection was first introduced by Patek in 1997.
It’s their luxury sports watch and features a distinctive rounded-octagonal case design.
The strap is made of an ultra-resistant composite material designed to withstand wear, salt water, and UV radiation.
It typically offers 120 metres of water resistance.
When Rice lifted the Premier League trophy in May, he needed a fancy watch on his wrist.
He went with Mille’s 67-01 model, that’s slim in design but features massively oversized Arabic numerals in an automatic skeleton face.
Made from titanium, it’s light and easy on the wrist.
Perfect for title trophy-lifting.
The second Richard Mille timepiece in Rice’s collection is his most expensive.
Valued at around half a million pounds, Rice clearly treated himself before the PFA Awards in August, where he was spotted wearing it.
It features a manually wound openworked skeletonized movement and a minimalist white quartz TPT case.
Premier League rival Erling Haaland has also been spotted wearing one this summer.
