Do Kyungwan, a broadcaster-turned-TV personality, has drawn attention by revealing his wife, singer Jang Yoonjung's watch collection.


On September 26, several watches owned by Jang Yoonjung appeared on the YouTube channel 'DojangTV.' Among these, Do Kyungwan introduced one as an “overwhelmingly expensive watch,” which turned out to be a Rolex Day-Date 18K gold model.


Do Kyungwan was seen holding the watch carefully. He commented, “If I wore it, people would criticize me, but everyone agrees that 'Jang Yoonjung deserves to wear it.' It's so heavy just to hold it that I'm afraid I might drop it. Jang Yoonjung has worn it several times while serving as a judge on TV shows.”

This watch belongs to Rolex’s highest-end lineup and, when new, reportedly sells for around 70 million to 80 million won. Depending on details such as diamonds, the price can exceed 100 million won. However, the exact purchase price has not been disclosed.


The Day-Date garnered attention upon its launch in 1956 as the world’s first wristwatch to display not only the date but also the day of the week spelled out in full. A distinctive feature is that it is manufactured only in precious metals such as 18K gold or platinum, with no regular stainless steel models.


With its dedicated “President bracelet,” the watch became widely known as the so-called “President’s Watch,” as politicians and celebrities from around the world have worn it. Currently, it is available in 36mm and 40mm models.



Meanwhile, Rolex sales in Korea are showing a significant upward trend. Korea Rolex’s revenue last year was 426.86425 billion won, an increase of 24.6% from 342.56951 billion won the previous year.
