Investing in a luxury wallet or card holder is a simple and sleek accessory you can add to your everyday look and an investment that’ll last. No matter what your style is, there are plenty of luxury wallets that’ll speak to you. Coming from some iconic brands like Gucci and Coach, these are the ideal small luxury pieces to start you on your designer brand journey.

Gucci ​​GG Marmont Leather Bi-Fold Wallet

Although Gucci is known for its out-of-the-box colors and prints, this GG Marmont Leather Bi-Fold Wallet is sleek and minimal.

This wallet also gives you two options: a double GG logo in gold or black, depending on how subtle you want the logo to appear. With gentle care, this wallet will stay in style for years. Although its $540 price tag might seem steep, it’s certainly a fair price if you consider how long it will likely hold up.

Jay-Z’s incredible watch collection includes a Hublot worth $5 million
The Jay-Z watch collection is incredibly expensive
Jay-Z performing

When most people think of Jay-Z, they think of, well, Beyoncé first and foremost, but they then think of his chart-topping hits and, lastly, his blinding watch collection. The man is not just a fan of watches; he's a collector of some of the most expensive and complicated timepieces in existence that are quite literally worth more than all of our houses, cars, and dogs collectively.

Jay-Z's watch collection is comprised of brands like Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, and Patek Philippe, but the one brand that sits at the very top of his shelf, like the sock that is a toddler's most prized possession, is Hublot. He's made it quite clear that Hublot holds the biggest space in his heart, and made sure to proclaim it to the world in his 2011 song Otis, in which he sang, "New watch alert: Hublot."

After the postponement of the prestigious Only Watch 2023, now rescheduled for May 10, 2024, anticipation for the event is palpable. For smaller watch brands, Only Watch is the perfect setting for them to test the waters with newer concepts, but after the delay, several dropped out, while some, like Patek Philippe, saw an opportunity amidst the chaos. Instead of succumbing to delays, the brand unveiled its reference 1938 Minute Repeater Alarm last November, which was limited to just 30 watches.
Only Watch 2024: Patek Philippe reference 6301A

Now, Patek Philippe has unveiled its newest Only Watch entry, reference 6301A, consisting of a grande et petite sonnerie and minute repeater, which is surprisingly encased in steel, a rare choice for the brand. At the moment, the ref. 6301A is the sole new addition to Only Watch 2024, while the rest of the watches have been taken from last year's canceled event. While the only visual distinction between the new Patek Philippe and last year's entry is the dial, it's a departure from a more formal look.
