That same strong-mindedness extends to his sense of style as well. His transition from an aspiring footballer to a Michelin-starred chef and restaurateur has seen him develop a distinct and sophisticated taste in watches. Throughout the years, Ramsay has been spotted on our screens wearing a variety of smart wrist pieces, and as his culinary empire and wealth have expanded, so has his luxury watch collection.
Here’s a closer look at some of the best high-end watches seen on chef Gordon Ramsay.

1. Rolex Submariner 5512
At Super Bowl LVII in 2023, Ramsay impressed watch aficionados when he wore a vintage Submariner 5512, a rare piece dating back to the 1970s or earlier. Ramsay’s choice featured a beautifully patinated matt dial paired with a rugged Nato strap that matched the competitive spirit of one of the US’s biggest sporting events.

4. Breitling Cockpit Chronograph with yellow dial
Fans who have been following Ramsay’s career from the start have likely noticed this vibrantly coloured pilot’s watch, a frequent accessory that he wore on shows like Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares. Its association with the celebrity chef has become so pronounced over the years – with reruns of those shows still airing to audiences around the world – that some collectors affectionately refer to this yellow-faced model as “the Gordon Ramsay”.
5. JS Watch Co. Reykjavik Sif Nart 1948
A fairly novel item in Ramsay’s inventory is this watch, according to the brand’s website, inspired by Iceland’s rich maritime legacy and the brand’s North Atlantic Rescue Timetable (Nart), a timepiece created for the Icelandic coastguard and waterproof to 1,000 metres. Crafted by JS Watch Co. Reykjavik, a respected yet under-the-radar watchmaker, this piece is probably part of a very exclusive production, given that the watchmaker is known for its small batches. Ramsay’s choice highlights his appreciation for not just mainstream luxury brands but also independent watchmakers and their unique, lesser-known creations.

6. IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII Edition ‘Tribute to Mark XI’
Ramsay brought his signature style of culinary critique to the popular YouTube series Hot Ones in January 2019 and made a return in December 2021, quickly becoming one of the show’s most unforgettable guests with his arsenal of spice-neutralising remedies, including peanut butter, Pepto Bismol and a lemon and lime milk cocktail.
7. Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 self-winding flying tourbillon
One of Ramsay’s latest purchases seems to be this stunning two-toned tourbillon from Audemars Piguet’s Code 11.59 collection, which he wore in Miami, Florida, in February. This piece is a masterpiece of quiet luxury, layering black on black, from its onyx dial to the black lacquered inner bezel, all encased in an 18k white gold outer bezel with pink gold hands for a touch of warmth.
This luxury timepiece strikes the perfect balance between refined elegance and a sporty flair, making it suitable for wear even in chef’s whites – though Ramsay is probably the only chef who can actually pull it off.
