The numbers
Leonardo DiCaprio, aged 51, made a notable appearance at the 2026 Oscars held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. He wore a Rolex Perpetual 1908, a watch that has garnered attention since its launch at the Watches & Wonders trade fair in 2023.
DiCaprio was nominated for Best Actor for his role in the film One Battle After Another, which won a total of six Oscars, including Best Picture. Despite the accolades for his film, DiCaprio lost the Best Actor award to Michael B. Jordan.
His date for the evening was 27-year-old Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, who has been in a relationship with DiCaprio since 2023. Ceretti, who has graced the cover of Vogue and its international editions 24 times, made a striking impression at the Vanity Fair after-party in a burgundy Alaia gown.
DiCaprio’s choice of the Rolex Perpetual 1908 is significant as it features a sapphire case back, allowing the intricate movement to be seen. This model represents Rolex’s effort to reassert its presence in the classic dress watch category.
Reflecting on his career, DiCaprio has previously stated, “I was like, OK, how do I have a long career? Because I love what I do, and I feel like the best way to have a long career is to get out of people’s face.” This sentiment underscores his approach to managing fame and relationships.
Ceretti has also shared her perspective on being in a high-profile relationship, noting, “As soon as you’re in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become ‘girlfriend of’ — or ‘boyfriend of,’ for that matter.” She emphasized the importance of authenticity in their relationship, stating, “If what you’re experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there’s no reason to be alarmed.”
DiCaprio’s red carpet appearances with romantic partners have been rare since 2005, making this outing with Ceretti particularly noteworthy. Observers are keen to see how their relationship evolves in the public eye.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding future projects for DiCaprio or any upcoming collaborations with Ceretti, but both continue to be prominent figures in their respective fields.
