Santiago: Chilean authorities have recovered three valuable watches, including a $9,000 Rolex Submariner, belonging to Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves. The watches were said to have been taken from Keanu Reeves’ Los Angeles home toward the end of 2023. Among them was a Rolex engraved with “Keanu,” “2021, JW4,” and “Thank you, The John Wick Five,” which was found in Santiago during a police raid addressing a series of local thefts. This watch holds sentimental value as Reeves gifted similar engraved Submariners to the stunt crew of John Wick: Chapter 4 in 2021.
Details of the Recovery
The Rolex Submariner, priced at approximately $9,000 on Rolex’s website, was discovered alongside other jewelry and luxury items during raids on four homes in eastern Santiago. Chilean police confirmed that the recovered items were linked to the December 2023 burglary at Reeves’ residence.
Chilean officials have been collaborating with U.S. authorities to identify and connect the recovered watches to the theft. As part of the investigation, a 21-year-old suspect was arrested, and additional inquiries are ongoing.
Irony of the Situation
The discovery carries an ironic twist, as the John Wick film series begins with Reeves’ character—a retired hitman—seeking revenge after his home is invaded, his belongings stolen, and his dog killed.

This isn’t the first time Reeves has been targeted by burglars. In 2014, his Los Angeles home was invaded twice within three days, highlighting his unfortunate history with such incidents.
The recent recovery of the Rolex and other items marks a positive turn in the investigation, with fans and authorities hopeful that justice will prevail in this high-profile case.
