Worn by: Chris Noth as Mr. Big
Reference: Rolex Day-Date
Brand: Rolex
The gold Rolex Day-Date that Carrie gifts to Mr. Big in Sex and the City 2 is both olive branch and indictment. The “President” bracelet, long a symbol of male authority, becomes in her hands a gesture of reconciliation—time returned to a man who’s run out of it emotionally. The watch’s opulence mirrors Big himself: successful, self-contained, occasionally tone-deaf. Yet when he opens the box and smiles, the exchange feels tender rather than transactional. The Day-Date’s fluted bezel catches the Dubai light as if to suggest that love, like gold, can be reshaped but never simplified. It’s less a gift than a question: how do you measure commitment in carats or hours?
