Kanye West’s watch collection comprises an assortment of unique horology products in addition to traditional Rolex timepieces. In public and while performing, Kanye West relishes donning timepieces, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, and other ostentatious jewelry.

Kanye has amassed 24 Grammy Awards, sоld mоre than 160 milliоn recоrdings, and achieved 133 Billbоard Hоt 100 entries, making him оne оf the mоst successful musicians оf all time. It is estimated that he is wоrth mоre than $2 billiоn, making him the wealthiest musician in the wоrld.

Kanye West enjoys wearing his gold Rolex Daytona on a strap. This Rolex comes with the Rolex leather strap.

The Kanye West Watch Collection

The aforementioned image showcases Kanye West endorsing a Rolex Daytona model 116515LN adorned with a black leather strap and 18k rose gold.  This exquisite timepiece showcases the caliber 4130, which boasts a power reserve of 72 hours. Adorned with a chocolate dial adorned with black Arabic numerals serving as hour indicators.

This exquisite timepiece is nоt аmоng the mоre frequently аdvertised Rоlex timepieces.  аlthоugh this Rоlex Dаytоnа is exceedingly stylish, it remаins in high demаnd.  аlthоugh nоt currently аvаilаble fоr purchаse аt Rоlex, this timepiece is аvаilаble аfter mаrket fоr mоre thаn $50,000.  Kаnye West аccessоrizes his Rоlex with аn аdditiоnаl substаntiаl yellоw-gоld brаcelet thаt cооrdinаtes with the wаtch.  

Kanye West is frequently spotted adorning a leather strap to a yellow-gold Rolex Daytona.  The watch is characterized by a white dial, a yellow gold case, and a black leather strap. Evidently, he pairs this Daytona suit jacket, an oversized black t-shirt, and leather trousers well with it.

   

Distinguishing whether the Rolex Kanye owns features Arabic numerals or an older model adorned with gold-encircled diamond jewels presents a minor challenge.  However, it is probable that Kanye selected the more recent model depicted above featuring Arabic numerals as opposed to the older reference 16518.  Leather was discontinued by Rolex in 2020; therefore, his purchases must have occurred between 2010 and 2019.  Presently, an analogous Rolex Daytona, such as the one referenced 116518LN, would feature an Oysterflex band, a black bezel as opposed to gold, and luminescent hour indicators as opposed to Arabic numerals.  

Kanye West is frequently spotted meandering down the street while donning his Rolex Daytona and casual attire, much like how he would accessorize a suit.  It appears that he appreciates the Rolex’s design and the gold fastener on the comfort-fit leather band.  

Richard Mille RM010 Skeleton Dial

Considered one of the most influential people by Time Magazine, in the picture, Kanye is seen wearing an underrated Richard Mille RM010 Automatic in rose gold.

This skeletonized movement is truly stunning. The bottom plate and bridges are angled and polished by hand before they are sandblasted and PVD-treated.

This watch has been introduced in 2006 with a retail price of $85,000. 

Patek Philippe Nautilus Champagne Diamond Dial 3800/1J

The watch on his wrist is the vintage yellow gold Patek Philippe Nautilus 3800/001J with a champagne diamond dial. 

Retail price: ~$45,000.

Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph 49150

Back then, at the 2009 Grammy Awards, Kanye appeared wearing a gold Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph 49150 in rose gold.

The watch comes with a silver dial, luminous hands, and hour markers, a large double window date at 12 o’clock. 

Rolex Daytona Black Tahitian MOP Dial 116518

His next timepiece is the 40 mm Rolex Daytona Cosmograph 116518-0073 in yellow gold featuring the black Tahitian ‘Mother of Pearl’ dial with applied gold Roman numerals on a black alligator strap.

I personally think that this watch has a beautiful and colorful dial. It matches the yellow-gold case. The combo really fits the rapper!

Rolex Submariner Blue Dial 116618

A couple of days after he released his new album ‘Donda,’ he was seen wearing one of Rolex’s signature models, the Submariner. 

The timepiece seen on his wrist is the Rolex Submariner 116618 in yellow gold, featuring a 40 mm yellow gold case and blue bezel made in blue ceramic with a matching blue dial. This model is no longer in production.

Retail price: $34,250.

Rolex Yacht-Master II 116688

Like Conor McGregor, Kanye West also has the beautiful Rolex Yacht-Master II.

The watch features a white baton dial, housing a regatta chronograph function surrounded by a 10-minute countdown with a blue ceramic bezel on a yellow gold Rolex Oyster bracelet. 

With a new dial and hands distinctive from Rolex Professional models, the Yacht-Master II improves legibility and sharpens its aesthetic appeal. 

The dial now has a triangular hour marker at 12 o’clock for easier reading of the watch and a rectangular hour marker at 6 o’clock. The hour hand can be easily distinguished from the minute hand thanks to a luminescent disc. 

The countdown on the Yacht-Master II can be set for a time between one and ten minutes. The mechanism memorizes the programming so that it can reset itself and go back to the initial setting. Once it has begun, the countdown can be instantly adjusted to coincide with the official race countdown.

The Yacht-Master II is the epitome of elegance and distinction, oh, and expensiveness, with a stunning white dial and a regatta chronograph watch made specifically for yachting competition. 

Market price: ~$44,000.

Rolex Daytona Chocolate Dial 116515

Next timepiece in Kanye West watch collection is, as we can see in the picture, the Rolex Daytona. It is the Daytona 116515LN in rose gold on a black leather strap. his gorgeous timepiece features the calibre 4130 with a 72 hour power reserve, and a chocolate dial with black colored Arabic numerals as hour markers.

Market price on the secondary market: ~$33,000.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 25829OR

Next is Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Openworked Perpetual Calendar 25829OR in rose gold. The transparent sapphire dial with white indicators and blackened gold hands, indicates the day, date, moon phases, month and leap years. 

I must sаy this timepiece is one of the most stunning timepieces in Kanye West watch collection.

The French football player Karim Benzema owns a similar timepiece, but his model is not openworked. Still, both of the watches feature a perpetual calendar.

Watches with a perpetual calendar display the day, date, month, and leap year. It means, a perpetual calendar corrects the date and year cycle (and subsequently day, month, and moon phase too) in perpetuity. If another question is raised, ‘What is a leap year?’ A leap year is a calendar year with an additional day added to synchronise the calendar year with the astronomical year. This additional day is added to the end of the shortest month, February (now you know why February has 29 days once every four years). Scienctific speaking, Earth takes approximately 365.25 days to orbit the sun. So, it needs 366 days to orbit every four years. Therefore, to make up for the missing day, we add one day to our calendar approximately every four years. Any year evenly divisible by 4 is a leap year, for example, 2000, 2004, 2008, etc. Market price: ~330,000.

BAPE G-Shоck DW6900

The last timepiece in the Kanye West Watch Collection I want to feature is the beefy tough Japanese G-Shоck which is well-known for its durability.

The G-Shоck we can see in the picture is a collaboration between A Bathing Ape and G-Shоck – BAPE G-Shоck DW-6900.

His fellow musician Pharrell Williams also owns this white G-Shоck.

Unfortunately, I could not find any information regarding the price. I wonder how much did it cost back then.
