Canadian rapper and global icon Drake has done it again—bringing the heat not just in his music but also in his luxurious taste for timepieces. This time, he’s spotted with an eye-catching 36mm Rolex Day-Date in 18-carat white gold, a watch that effortlessly combines elegance with some serious sparkle. Known for its rich history as the “President’s Watch,” this Day-Date has been elevated to another level with a design and dial that’s fit for a music mogul.

At first glance, the watch’s standout feature is the mesmerizing pink opal diamond-set dial. The soft, blush-pink hue of the opal is a unique choice, breaking away from traditional monochromatic tones and giving the piece a softer, almost mystical vibe. This delicate backdrop is balanced with 32 diamonds set around the bezel, each glinting and gleaming, catching the light from every angle. It’s the kind of wristwear that demands attention, without ever feeling too flashy.

The attention to detail on this Rolex is something only a perfectionist could appreciate. Drake’s Day-Date has Roman numeral hour markers at six and nine o’clock, crafted with 24 diamonds. These markers add an opulent twist to the classic Roman style, giving a modern edge to the timeless aesthetic of the Day-Date. It’s as though Drake’s watch is making a statement: classic sophistication with a contemporary flair, much like his own evolving music style.

But Rolex didn’t stop at just the dial and bezel. The iconic presidential bracelet, a hallmark of the Day-Date line, is semi-set with diamonds along the center links. The diamonds subtly enhance the bracelet without overpowering it, creating a look that’s refined and cohesive. This semi-set diamond detail makes the bracelet sparkle like no other and adds to the watch’s character, ensuring it stands out in a world of lookalikes.
