Beyoncé wore a custom gown by Olivier Rousteing and adorned herself with “The Queen of Kalahari,” a 342-carat diamond necklace valued at $50 million, which became the event’s focal point.

Jay-Z complemented Beyoncé’s statement piece with a Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime wristwatch, initially valued at $2.2 million but reported as being worth $6 million in some sources, highlighting its rarity and complexity.

The Grandmaster Chime is considered Patek Philippe’s most complex timepiece, featuring 214 components, 20 complications, and taking eight years to craft.
