Drake might have the world’s most over-the-top watch collection
The Canadian rapper's vast collection includes APs, Patek Philippes, Jacob & Cos and 143 Rolexes
By Cayle Reid
DRAKE IS A MAN WHO clearly understands the power of presentation. Those fur-lined coats, marble mansions and custom Boeing jet aren’t just for show, they’re stunts that make you covet his lavish lifestyle. Nowhere is that performance more noticeable than on Drake’s wrist.
For most people, watches are accessories. For Drake, they’re status symbols, and a reminder that he’s made it. The rapper’s collection is as varied as his discography. There’s everything from your Richard Milles and Audemars Piguets to the truly whack variety. Not least of which is his purported stash of 143 Rolexes – or so he claims.
In his 2024 track ‘It’s Up’, Drake raps the line “And just like the motherf**kin’ judge / the hammers come out for objections / A hundred-and-forty-three Rolexes in my collection”. We can’t confirm the exact number of Rolexes Drake owns, but he has been spotted wearing plenty of them. Drake isn’t the type of guy to wear the same watch often, which means he requires a large collection.
Scroll on for a closer look at his best timepieces.
Drake’s watch collection
Rolex Day-Date, ref. 228398TBR
Price: $135,000
One of the more casual pieces in Drake’s collection, this watch features two Rolex staples: a champagne dial and a presidential bracelet. Of course, the smattering of diamonds on the bezel set it apart from the usual Day-Date models.
Jacob and Co. Astronomia Casino
Price: $500,000+
The grown up in us wants to criticise this watch, but our inner child sees that it has a functional roulette wheel and recognises that that is cool. It boasts a four-arm design, a ceramic globe ball and a rotating one-carat white diamond. The ceramic ball can bounce around without effecting the functionality of the watch, so don’t pretend you don’t want one.
Jacob and Co. Five Time Zone
Price: $10,000
As you can likely gather from its name, this watch displays five distinct time zones. The four subdials show the time in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Paris, while the centre can be set to your current location. It’s a useful function for a globetrotter like Drake.
Patek Philippe Nautilus, customised by Virgil Abloh
Price: Unknown, but as it’s a piece unique and customised by Abloh, likely in the millions
A piece unique, designed by the legendary designer Virgil Abloh. It doesn’t get much better than that. With an annual calendar and moon phase complication, Drake had this Patek Philippe Nautilus set with emeralds from top to bottom.
Rolex Day-Date 36, ref. 128458TBR
Price: $180,000
It’s rare that a brand as conservative as Rolex produces a watch as playful of this. But if anyone is going to own a Rolex with a turquoise dial and fuchsia leather strap, it would be Drake, right?
Richard Mille 69 Tourbillon Erotic
Price: $1 million+
Everyone knows that Drake is a very tasteful man. That’s why he owns an understated, refined watch such as this, the Richard Mille 69. Unofficially known as the sex watch, the most prominent feature is the messaging within the sapphire crystal, which can be customised. As seen in the image above, the watch comes set with the message “I lust to caress your body”. Drake decided to rotate his to read “I’d love to kiss your p***y” when he wore it to the NBA Finals in 2019.
Rolex Sky-Dweller, ref. 326959TBR
Price: $1.5 million
Iced-out watches are a staple among rappers. Although Drake didn’t bother with any aftermarket stuff. He simply bought this Rolex with factory-set diamonds. This variant of the Sky-Dweller features a meteorite dial and white gold case, not that you can see it beneath all those diamonds.
Rolex Daytona Rainbow, ref. 116595RBOW-0002
Price: $900,000
If you know anything about watches, you’ll know that the Rolex Daytona is one of the most coveted models in the industry. Drake’s version comes in 18-carat, diamond-encrusted Everose gold, with rainbow-coloured jewels across the bezel and hour markers.
