Aubrey Drake Graham, better recognized as Drake, is one of the top-paid musicians. He has acquired $250 million in wealth through his music labels, endorsement deals, and sold-out concert tours. The rapper lives a wealthy lifestyle, enjoying everything from boats and private jets to luxurious jewelry, vehicles, and homes. He is also renowned for purchasing some of the world’s most expensive and unique watches. Some of his creations have pushed the limits of timepieces’ findings and produced something original that has never been seen before. The majority of the watches in Drake’s collection are uncommon and cannot be bought on the open market.

Drake brazenly modifies a watch to fit his taste by adorning the bezel with diamonds making it sparkle, and replacing the strap with a diamond bracelet. Here are some of the valuable watches in his collection:

1. Patek Philippe Nautilus 5740/1G-001

Drake, a watch enthusiast, couldn’t resist the allure of the Patek Philippe Nautilus. It is one of the most recognizable timepieces in the world. Besides, he wears it in style with the Perpetual Calendar version.

This reference in question is comparable to a minor watchmaking wonder. With a diameter of 8.4 mm, it is the tiniest calendar piece ever made by a watchmaker. It is also the first Grand Complication of the Patek Philippe Nautilus line.

The self-winding caliber 240 Q movement that drives this gorgeous white-gold watch can be seen through the sapphire-crystal back. Additionally, this superb watch’s value is very reasonable at about $200,000.

2. Richard Mille RM-69 ‘Erotic Tourbillon’

Drake wore a serious NSFW wristwear to the 2019 NBA Finals to promote his favorite club, the Toronto Raptors, Richard Mille RM-69 ‘Erotic Tourbillon’. Richard Mille is well known for being among the most radical watch companies in the industry. However, this specific model may symbolize one of the most severe expressions in this specific area.

The piece is loaded with sexual allusions, starting with the reference number, which is 69. The “Erotic” complexity, known as Oracle, has three multifaceted rollers that display various comments that, when combined, create user-generated sentences such as “Let Me Kiss You Tonight,” “I Lust To Caress Your Body,” and others. You can blend and choose among the 18 incredibly erotic texts.

3. Richard Mille RM035 “Rafael Nadal”

Drake also owns the RM035 Rafael Nadal Americas Edition timepiece by Richard Mille. The RM 035 Americas is a limited edition wristwatch that is only accessible in the Americas and is produced in 50 pieces. It was designed for one of the top tennis players of all time.

Richard Mille RM035 “Rafael Nadal” is powered by an automated mechanical caliber that weighs only 4.3 grams. It is also housed in a casing made of high-tech materials with vibrant accents. The front and back bezels are constructed of matte-finish black TZP porcelain that has been blasted. The bracelet is made of NTPT carbon, woven into many layers to create a solid and lightweight fabric.

4. Richard Mille RM 055 “Bubba Watson”

The Richard Mille RM55 Bubba Watson is another stunning wristwatch in Drake’s collection. The watch was created just for pro golfer Bubba Watson and had a white titanium body and a light but incredibly durable movement. Its manual winding RMUL2 caliber has a 55-hour power reserve and provides hours, minutes, and seconds.

The completely skeletonized movement practically floats within the casing. Supported only by 4 shock absorbers, it’s a technological feat that makes the watch virtually impervious to impacts of any type.

Generally, this Richard Mille RM 055 “Bubba Watson” looks great and feels fantastic on the wrist, thanks to its transparency.

5. Jacob and Co. Astronomia “Casino”

Drake spent a lot of money on the Astronomia Casino in 2020, a handcrafted timepiece with a functional roulette wheel in the red and black hue. The intricately made Jacob & Co. version features a four-arm configuration, a ceramic ball in the shape of the world, and a one-carat white diamond that rotates after 30 seconds.

Although the Astronomia Casino is easy to use, the technological solutions to make it function took over a year to design. The roulette wheel inside the dial enables the users to play their favorite game of chance everywhere.

The ceramic ball could bounce wildly without worrying that it would interfere with the watch’s ability to keep time because the movement is shielded from it by a sapphire crystal.

6. ‘Chrome Hearts’ 40mm Rolex Day-Date

The personalized Rolex Day-Date worn by Drake has a refined yellow gold casing and finishing, making it among the blingiest timepieces in his collection. One of the most intriguing aspects of the ‘Chrome Hearts’ 40mm Rolex Day-Date is the bracelet, adorned with shimmering baguette-cut diamonds on the bezel. According to Robb News, the rapper removed the standard strap and replaced it with a gold bracelet from the LA-based jewelry and accessory company Chrome Hearts.

7. Jacob and Co. 5 Time Zone in stainless steel

The Five Time Zone timepiece is a classic watch in the Jacob & Co. line with a distinctive design and vibrant appeal that Drake owns. With New York, LA, Tokyo, Paris, and real-time in the center, it shows five different time zones. It features a sapphire band bracelet and a 5-carat diamond bezel, as stated by Jacob & Co.
