- Bruno Mars just gave each of his seven band members a watch so they could “bling together.”
- The singer gifted each musician an Audemars Piguet Extra-Thin “Jumbo” Royal Oak, which retails at $55,000.
- The luxury timepieces came in custom boxes that read, “Audemars Piguet: Bruno Mars 24K Magic World Tour Edition.”
It pays to be in Bruno Mars’ band, especially if you’re a watch fan.
The “Uptown Funk” singer recently shared a series of images on Instagram of him gifting each of his seven band members beautiful gold Audemars Piguet watches.

The singer captioned the photos: “My boys continue to show the world what time it is, and a band that sings together blings together! #AudeMARS #Hooligans #Squad 2019!”
This isn't just any bling, though. These are Audemars Piguet Extra-Thin "Jumbo" Royal Oaks, according to the experts at Hodinkee.
At full retail, these watches, which were launched in yellow gold back in 2017, will set you back $55,400 apiece.
The watch company seems to have made custom boxes for Mars and his band, reading, "Audemars Piguet: Bruno Mars 24K Magic World Tour Edition."
Ironically, the watches come in 18-carat gold, not 24. They are beset with glare-proofed sapphire crystal.
In any case, these are some seriously lavish gifts to ring in the new year. Where do we apply to join Mars' band?
