She’s also worn the same model during one of their recent rehearsals, styling it with oversized parachute pants and a ringer baby tee emblazoned with the word “Music”—shirts gifted to the KATSEYE girls by American rapper Playboi Carti.
Needless to say, this luxurious accessory has secured its place in Sophia’s rotation of casual looks.

About the Rolex Datejust 36 with an Aubergine Dial
For those unfamiliar, the Rolex Datejust is among the brand’s most enduring and recognizable creations. Renowned for its versatile design, it has remained a favored choice among collectors and first-time buyers alike for generations.
The exact model worn by Sophia is far from ordinary. It’s an Oyster Perpetual variant, outfitted with a white gold Jubilee bracelet and finished with a diamond-set aubergine dial—protected by Rolex’s signature waterproof and scratch-resistant Oyster case. Taking a closer look, the dial features the Roman numerals VI and IX in 18ct gold, embellished with 24 diamonds. Its sunray texture, created through intricate brushing techniques, radiates light in a way that gives the dial its signature depth and subtle brilliance.

Within the Rolex lexicon, an “Oyster Perpetual” represents a combination of two hallmark features: the waterproof Oyster case and the self-winding Perpetual movement. The former ensures durability and protection from water and dust, while the latter allows the watch to wind automatically by harnessing the motion of the wearer’s wrist.
Currently, the Rolex Datejust 36 with the aubergine dial—as seen on Sophia—retails for P692,500 on the brand’s official website. However, as with most coveted timepieces, availability is limited and waitlists are common. Hence, for those unwilling to wait, the resale market offers an alternative route, though expect prices to exceed the suggested retail value.
