![]() Also, from a travel perspective, with both artists having tours the Sky-Dweller is far more useful as a daily wearer. It does not need diamonds to grab more attention. Plus, in the blue dial variant it is far more versatile and less of a “pick me” Rolex than Drake’s Day-Date. Verdict: The Sky-Dweller is Rolex’s most complicated watch in their current catalogue. Considering Drake also goes by the nickname “Champagne Papi”, it makes sense one of his daily wearers is a Day-Date with a champagne dial. Rolex elected to only add diamonds to the bezel and indices of the champagne dial. 228398TBR is tastefully iced-out by Rolex at the factory. But, his common go-to Rolex Day-Date ref. ![]() 228398TBRĭrake is clearly no stranger to aftermarket customization. The Rolex Sky-Dweller is the most complicated Rolex in the current catalogue, and, upon its initial release, it was only third to the GMT Master II “Pepsi” and ceramic-bezeled Daytona in popularity. Sure he could have blinged it out like Megan The Stallion, but instead he has shown restraint. And, like Jack Harlow, he has opted to leave the watch untouched in its factory configuration. Probably the most normal watch in this entire matchup, 21 Savage has been seen wearing a Rolex Sky-Dweller ref. Battle of the Rolex (round 1) 21 Savage – Rolex Sky-Dweller ref. But, it is probably my favorite aftermarket customized Nautilus I have ever seen.

This of course led to the raging debate of sick modification? Or absolute blasphemy? The modified watch goes completely against what Patek is willing to make themselves. With its blackened case, and bezel, dial, and bracelet covered with emeralds, the Patek Philippe branding is literally no longer in view. Whether it draws disgust or admiration from you depends entirely on your outlook on watch design and factory purity. I typically prefer watches left in their factory configuration, but when Drake first flexed his Patek Philippe Nautilus Annual Calendar Ref.5726, customized by legendary American fashion designer Virgil Abloh, it caught the attention of watch aficionados around the world. Drake – Patek Philippe Nautilus Annual Calendar Ref. On its dial, which displays the power reserve, calendar date, moonphase, and running seconds, there are also diamonds in place of applied hour indices. It has a white gold case adorned with diamonds on the bezel and integrating link for the leather strap. ![]() ![]() He has also been spotted wearing a factory diamond-set Nautilus, the reference 5724G-001, in the Show Me Love (Remix) music video with Alicia Keys. It made news on various tabloids and news outlets after she shared the watches on social media exclaiming: “We like to spoil each other.”Īmazingly, in 2017, the Daily Mail alleges the watches each cost $55K, which seems like an absolute steal compared to the prices the Nautilus has achieved now five years later. 5711 gifted by then girlfriend Amber Roseīack in 2017, 21 Savage, and his then girlfriend Amber Rose, celebrated their relationship by purchasing each other a matching set of bussed down Patek Philippe Nautilus watches. With that in mind, let the Battle Royale begin! Battle of the Nautilus 21 Savage – Buss down Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. The one caveat here is that I cannot stress how many watches they have, so I had to leave some out to keep the head-to-head as apples-to-apples as possible.
