Nigerian-British artist Olaolu Slawn is making waves again in 2025—this time with a one-of-a-kind luxury watch. Known for his vibrant, graffiti-inspired art, Slawn has already made headlines this year with bold projects at Wembley Stadium, a Formula 1 car, and collaborations with top fashion labels like Marni and Nike. Now, he’s teasing a custom Rolex that merges street-style creativity with classic design.
The buzz started when Clint419, founder of Corteiz, shared a sneak peek of the watch on X (formerly Twitter), simply writing: “SLAWN ROLEX. COMING SOON.” Not long after, Slawn himself posted a video showing more detail of the piece.
The watch appears to be a modified Rolex Day-Date, also called the "President" watch—famous for its timeless gold style. But Slawn’s version is anything but traditional. It features his signature clown-face art on the dial, with warm peach and bold magenta tones. All of this is wrapped in luxurious gold, making the watch feel both playful and premium.
This isn’t Slawn’s first time working with Rolex. In 2024, he designed a limited run of 10 Datejust 41mm models, worn by celebrities like Stormzy, Lil Yachty, and Dave.
While Slawn’s Instagram hints at a release in August 2025, fans aren’t sure if this Day-Date is a limited release—or just a one-of-one masterpiece. Either way, it’s a bold reminder that fine art and fashion are blending more than ever.
To see more, keep an eye on Slawn’s Instagram for the latest updates.
