It seems like the art of sending paper invites is now outdated. Thanks to Facebook Events it is now easier than ever to invite someone to an event. Last weekend, Jay-Z held his Shawn Carter Foundation Gala. To invite guests to his gala, he sent out VIP invitations.

The invitations were in a form of a package which contained a bottle of Ace of Spades champagne and a rose-gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona with a chocolate dial. Yes, you’ve read that right, Jaz-Z sent $40,000 Rolex watches as VIP invites to all his guests.

So, here are the rarest and most covetable watches celebrities wear.
