Keanu Reeves’ “John Wick” Rolex to Be Returned After It Was Stolen in 2023 Jewelry Heist

Keanu Reeves, the renowned actor known for his iconic roles in movies such as ‘John Wick’, is set to have his stolen Rolex returned to him. The Rolex, valued at a minimum of $9,500, will be handed over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) after being recovered from a jewelry heist in 2023. Among the six stolen watches found in Santiago, Chile, is an engraved Rolex Submariner bearing sentimental markings related to the actor’s work.

Chilean authorities made the discovery during home raids in December 2024, as reported by the Associated Press. The total value of the watches amounts to $125,000. It was confirmed by Chilean prosecutors that Keanu Reeves had positively identified the timepieces as the ones taken from his residence in Los Angeles. The recovery of the watches led to the arrest of an individual linked to the violent crimes.

The engraved Rolex Submariner presented a poignant message ‘The John Wick Five’, combined with a reference to the movie ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ with the inscription, “Thank You — JW4 — 2021”, indicating the film’s production year. Keanu Reeves has been known for his generous nature, often surprising his stunt team with luxurious gifts like watches. The Rolex was found among a stash of stolen items, including cars, iPhones, and designer accessories, during the police raids in Santiago.

The investigation in Chile coincided with FBI-coordinated efforts to tackle organized crime groups from South America targeting affluent residences in the United States. Another case in February saw seven Chilean nationals charged for burglaries at the homes of NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Although investigations continue, the authorities have not established any direct connection between the stolen watches belonging to Keanu Reeves and these high-profile incidents.

This incident is not the first time Keanu Reeves’ property has been targeted. In 2014, a series of trespassing incidents occurred at his Los Angeles home, leading to heightened security measures. Despite the repeated violations of his privacy, Keanu Reeves remains a beloved figure in the entertainment industry, cherished not only for his talent on screen but also for his humility and generosity off-screen.

As fans eagerly await the return of Keanu Reeves’ beloved Rolex, the incident serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by public figures in protecting their personal belongings. The recovery of the stolen watches marks a victory for law enforcement in addressing cross-border crime and underlines the importance of international cooperation in combating such illicit activities. Keanu Reeves continues to captivate audiences with his performances, embodying resilience both on-screen and in real life.
