As one of Formula One’s hottest stars, Daniel Ricciardo is known for his daring moves on the racing track – and his infectious humour off it. But the Australian racing driver – who’s often referred to as “the Honey Badger” – is also known for never shying away from a bold (questionable?) fashion statement, whether that’s a cowboy hat or crop top.

Still, the ever-smiley driver is a little more discerning in his day-to-day dressing, and like most F1 pilots, has built quite a watch collection. With luxury watchmakers often sponsoring racing teams – or even the drivers themselves – Ricciardo has managed to snag high-end, ultra-rare luxury watches, and eagle-eyed fans often spot these on his wrist.

Given the shared values of precision and performance between high-end watch brands and motorsports, it’s not really surprising that Ricciardo has aligned himself so well with some of the world’s top luxury watch brands and F1 sponsors, including Richard Mille, Tag Heuer and Tudor.

But his love of luxury timepieces doesn’t stop there. He’s also been spotted wearing extravagant models from Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Rolex.

Over the course of his illustrious career – which includes eight Grand Prix victories – Ricciardo’s luxury watch collection has grown substantially, and is easily worth several millions of dollars today.

Here’s a look inside Danny Ric’s high-performance watch collection.

Ricciardo has long been a part of the Red Bull Racing family, having got his start in F1 at their junior team, Toro Rosso, in 2012, and graduated to the senior Red Bull team in 2014. It was during his time at Red Bull that Ricciardo was introduced to Tag Heuer, one of the team’s sponsors.
