If there’s one thing Rick Ross is gonna do, it’s rock an iced-out timepiece.
On Sunday, the American rapper was photographed in Miami in an eye-catching street-style look that included a Louis Vuitton denim shirt, gray trousers, and multi-colored sneakers. He upped the ante by wearing sunglasses at night, a chain-link necklace set with colored stones, a pinky ring, and a Rolex Datejust set with dozens of carats of diamonds for extra oomph. Models like this, which are typically customized after being purchased from an authorized dealer, are coveted and can command up to $45,000.

A closer look at Ross’s eye-catching watch reveals its 41 mm case, which contains a dial that’s been pave-set with diamonds. Datejust signatures including dauphine hour markers, a date window at 3 o’clock, as well as the brand’s name and logo are also front and center. For a similar model offered at the beloved Atlanta jeweler Ice Box, the case and bracelet require over 19 carats of stones for full coverage, and the dial takes over 5 carats. It’s all tied together with a fully gem-set Jubilee bracelet.
If the flashy timepiece is anything like most Datejust 41 models, it runs on a calibre 3235. The self-winding movement was developed in-house by Rolex, and runs at a frequency of 28,800 vph. It also features 31 jewels and provides the “Hustlin’” rapper with a 70-hour power reserve. The watch may be the latest show-stopper we’ve seen on Ricky Rozay’s wrists, but it’s far from his only diamond-set piece of wrist candy.

Last month, the Atlanta-based mogul donned $10 million worth of Jacob & Co. watches and jewelry in a music video for his recent track with Meek Mill entitled “Shaq & Kobe.” In it, Ross rocks a limited-edition Mystery Tourbillion from the watchmaker that includes no less than 33.65 carat worth of diamonds. Limited to just 13 examples, the 50 mm watch with a white-gold case is priced at $1.3 million.
Ross also showcases his Billionaire III watch from the company in the video. Dripping in over 129 carats worth of stones, it debuted in 2022 mounted on a bracelet hand-set with 504 emerald-cut white diamonds. Limited to 18 pieces, the Billionaire III will set you back by $3 million. Another of Ross’s most insane pieces includes a $20 million Billionaire Timeless Treasure watch that Jacob & Co. claimed nearly dried up the market for yellow diamonds. One thing’s for certain—with a collection like this, Ross probably will be rich forever.
