Actress Kim Sung-eun revealed a luxury watch that her husband Jung Jo-guk bought for her.
On the 21st, a video titled "Kim Sung-eun Jung Jo-guk 15 Years Ago First Luxury Watch, How Much Is It Now? (Wedding Gift Watch Memory Journey)" was uploaded to the 'Happy Kim Sung-eun' channel.
That day, Kim Sung-eun and Jung Jo-guk visited the showroom of a watch transaction platform. Before their visit, the couple checked the luxury watches they had at home, and Kim Sung-eun said, "The first watch my husband bought me was a Christmas gift. We met in July, and he gave this to me in December. And Chanel. This looks like short sleeves, but it's great for casual wear in the summer. Luxury watches continue to release models, so these days, buying today is said to be the cheapest because the prices keep going up, so I don't even know how much this one is now."
Afterward, Kim Sung-eun took out a luxury watch with diamonds and said, "There are models without diamonds, models that only have diamonds on the dial, and models that have diamonds all over. The combi style is the most popular and the size is very popular. Isn't this a bit small? I liked a larger style back then because I was in my early 30s when I bought this. It has a somewhat more casual feel. This has diamonds all around," she said, adding, "This one was also bought by my husband. As I get older, I prefer classic styles. I used to like the white and silver vibe, but now I like gold."
They also checked Jung Jo-guk's watch. He said, "This is my second watch. I lost my first watch. If you like Cartier, you probably have one. I bought it as soon as it came out," he revealed. He also showed a gold Cartier watch, saying, "This was the more expensive one. I think it was around 1.3 to 1.4 million won." He introduced another meaningful Cartier watch, saying, "The most important one. This has a lot of meaning. It's so pretty that I've visited the store several times. People would ask why I was buying another watch, and then I subtly hinted to my wife until I suddenly retired and received it."
Kim Sung-eun said, "Did I buy this when I was feeling depressed? I felt like he was quite down after retiring," and Jung Jo-guk commented, "So retiring was a good thing. This is my last watch that has some meaning to me." He added, "Should I take all of these and trade them for something I want?" but corrected himself in response to Kim Sung-eun's gaze, saying, "How could I do that?" Kim Sung-eun also emphasized, "All the watches have meaning. They are watches with memories."
The two checked their watches and visited the showroom, where they had their watches assessed. Jung Jo-guk's Cartier watch was traded for 12.6 million won in 2025, and the average transaction price was 10.8 million won. Jung Jo-guk said, "I bought it before, so I must have bought it at a cheaper price," and the staff explained, "Just like cars, watches normally depreciate, but Rolex is uniquely attached to a premium price."
Then, Kim Sung-eun said, "Could you do this for me?" and handed over her approximately 15-year-old Rolex watch. The staff replied, "Your model may differ in age, but this one is gold. This is 28 million won. But since it's gold, if you think about a reduction of around 3 million here, we estimated a trading price of about 25 million won."
Kim Sung-eun exclaimed, "Wow, the price has really gone up!" and added, "I also have this. I have two." She took out another watch, and the staff responded, "The reason we don't have real transaction information is that it's discontinued. However, the price remains defended at around 10 million won for gold and with diamonds," she said. Kim Sung-eun asked, "Hasn't it appreciated? I didn't buy it for 10 million won, did I?" The staff replied, "I don't know when, but you probably bought it at a high price. If you bought it at an official Rolex store, a premium would be attached to it even if just a little."
Especially, the two confirmed the information of the watch they wanted and were astonished to hear that its price was 73 million won. Kim Sung-eun remarked, "It's because I can't buy it." The staff explained the reason for the high price, saying, "To buy this one watch, you would have to purchase a gold model watch or a high-priced functional watch first, and then you would get this one, so the premium price you get now isn't so expensive."
As they wrapped up their shopping, Kim Sung-eun said, "The consultation was so kind that if I had the money, I would have bought it..." feeling regret, and Jung Jo-guk added, "I have no money. I should have come when I was younger..." causing laughter.
