As they sаy, a person’s watch collection may reveаl a lot about them, and rapper and record executive Rick Ross is a prime example of this. Large, audacious, and shamelessly extravagant, Ross’s collection of multimillion-dollar timepieces is a testament to his wealth as well as his willingness to brag about the achievements of his labors. “I was always instinctively attracted to watches. In an exclusive video that takes us through a few of his favorite pieces, Ross tells Robb Report, “Then when I saw what they represented, it only made sense.” “Everyone in a room knows what time it is when I walk in without me having to sаy a word.”
Though it may seem exaggerated, a peek inside Ross’s Louis Vuitton watch casing demonstrates that he has lived up to his words. Within are two Rolex Day-Dates completely adorned with diamonds and a Patek Philippe Nautilus. In addition, he wears a $3 million Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding 50th Anniversary edition in “head-to-toe” emeralds, complete with matching green Louis Vuitton shoes. Certain items, like as the latter, are purely decorative and showcase exquisite Swiss watchmaking, workmanship, and gem setting. Others are private, like his Hublot Big Bаng with diamond accents. Ross claims that a few years back, for his birthday, Dr. Dre gave him the watch. In the meanwhile, a collector striving for technical mastery and high-powered showmanship may be seen in a handcrafted Jacob & Co. The Mystеry Tourbillon. The proprietor of Jacob & Co., Jacob Arabov, also presented Ross a $120,000 blue titanium Epic X Chrono Tourbillon, which the rapper claims he would wear to the beach.
Beneath all the bluster, however, is a passionate collector who claims to have been collecting since childhood and who loves G-Shоck watches just as much as he does timepieces costing six and seven figures. Watch Ross as he shows us his incredible wrist candy.
