Drake has wowed the world buying a Roulette Table inspired piece from Jacob & Co that
cost more than your average condo in Toronto.
A whopping $620K dollars piece....
The dude has spent so much money on his watch collection he has good reason to be looking
over his shoulder.
His latest, The Jacob & Co Astronomia Casino piece is just one of the finer pieces in Drake's
epic watch collection which he's been investing in over the years.
He has exhibited unconditional love for timepieces, going very public with them in several posts
over his Instagram account.
The dude loves beautiful timepieces of every kind and make, and with money never being
an option, I mean the mans earnings were around 94 million dollars last year according to
Forbes he can put down any amount he desires and than gamble some more with his new watch.
In this video we are gonna be breaking down HIS COLLECTION OF RICHARD MILLE'S, ROLEX'S,
HUBLOT'S, AND PATEK'S just to name a few...
What's going on Fam?
It's your boy Michael McCrudden back at it again with another Top 5 video.
Last week we dropped one on Face Tattoos for 2020 and I'm gonna be real fam.
The views be looking slim, you heard?
I also noticed in the comments that you guys believe I have the worst Toronto accent in
the city...
I gotta be better than Debby.
If you like this video you are gonna wanna check out the one we made on Blueface & his
bandana chocker.
That or any of the other chain or grill vidoes we've posted in the past.
Aright, let's get into this one with Drake's Top 5 Watch Collection.
First up in the number 5 spot, we have his Richard Mille RM 69 Erotic Tourbillon which
set him back a cool $750K.
This watch is sexual, it's in the name.
We got 69 and they even slid in there the word erotic.
The piece features three multi-faceted rollers that show different statements which combined
form phrases like “Let Me Kiss You Tonight”, “I Lust To Caress Your Body” and plenty
other phrases which I can't mention or this video would end up getting demonetized.
If you had this watch what would you have it read?
Let me know in the comments down below.
The RM 69 is one hell of a timepiece, offering a case that is made of grade 5 titanium and
measuring 42mm x 50mm.
The movement is wind-up, with a tourbillon, retractable hours and minutes which when the
Erotic complication is activated, turn down to reveal the message written on the three
rollers.
And a power reserve indicator at 4 o’clock, so you can check how much of the 69-hour power
reserve is left.
Drake was seen wearing this piece during the series that brought the Toronto Raptors to
finish off the two-time defending champion Golden State Warriors.
What a time to be alive... you see what I did there.
Time and watch... anyway.
Let's move on.
Next up in the number 4 spot we got another Richard Mille, this one the RM 11 Last Edition
Baby Blue Felipe Massa Ceramic Chrono.
Try and say that three times fast.
One of only 50, designed as a tribute to Felipe Massa the Brazilian Formula One Race Driver,
the RM 011 FM features a flyback chronograph with a countdown function, along with the
hour, minute, and date second functions.
The movement, as in several RM timepieces, is skeletonized so to offer a glimpse of its
workings behind the black dial.
The watch is secured on the wrist with a blue rubber strap with titanium folding clasp but
Drizzy wears his on a green wristband.
I love that you can see the inner workings of this piece and it's one of my favs, it's
also more affordable having set him back only a cool 200K.
Drake has so many Richard Mille's watches I could make an entire video about those...
but the man likes diversity, like he rapped on Life Is Good with Future.
“Virgil got that Patek on my wrist goin' nuts”
So Let's look at some other brands.
Coming in at the number 3 spot: Patek Phillipe Nautilus 5726 which he customized.
One of the most iconic watch brands in the world, the Nautilus, and he does it in style,
with the Perpetual Calendar model which are some pretty smart technology on it's own.
It's like a small miracle in watchmaking.
It is the first Grand Complication in the Patek Philippe Nautilus collection, and it
represents the watchmakers thinnest calendar watch, with its 8.4 mm of thickness.
Its dial, case and bracelet feature a total of 1,343 diamonds, including 185 baguette-cut
diamonds.
The timepiece also boasts a self-winding mechanical movement with date and sweep seconds, a sapphire
crystal case back, a double deployment clasp and water resistance up to 394 feet.
The glitzy watch appears to be a custom-made version of the Swiss watchmaker’s Nautilus
5719/10G.
The official watch is extremely rare is typicall produced in white gold, but Drake's edition
is reportedly made of rose gold.
The watch typically retails for $453,609, but Drake’s custom job set him back a cool
$600K.
But he might be looking at a new upgrade.
After he dropped his track with Future Life Is Good he caught the attention of Fashion
Designer Virgil Abloh who hit up Drake with an even more custom piece fuly encustomed
with emerald diamons.
At number 2 we gotta include one of his first big ticket purchases from back in the day.
His Rolex Day Date II or at least one of them, he has a few.
It's hard to pick just one Rolex with Drake owning several Rolex Daytonas alone,
He's got an Everose gold model, a white gold one and a diamond one.
But there appears to be one Rolex design he seems to like even more, the Day-Date a.k.a.
the Rolex President originally released in 1956 and worn by President Johnson and Eisenhower.
JFK was also given one by Marilyn Monroe with an inscription on the back so this line is
historic and prestigious to say the least.
Costing anywhere from $50 to $150K or more Drake's got em in all different colours including
yellow gold, white gold, and Everose gold.
Plus, he also has a yellow gold Day-Date with a diamond bezel.
Even the hour markers have been fashioned from 18-carat gold to prevent tarnishing and
some baguette diamonds thrown in for good measure.
This particular Rolex President ref. 218348 made it to Drake’s covers on American GQ
and British GQ back in the day.
He has opted for some updated from the great American fathers of the past, Drake’s Day-Date
watches are from the larger 41mm Day-Date II collection, rather than the smaller, more
traditional Day-Date 36 one.
Drake matched his Day Date with his Toronto Raptor Championship ring which GQ sited as
being the perfect matching so good for him.
Finally, in the number 1 spot we gotta go back to his new piece – the one from Jacob
& Co.
The one in the Thumbnail.
Astronomia Casino.
On february 4th of 20202 Drake paid Jacob & Co a visit and posted about the meeting
to receive over 1 Million likes.
New York-based Jacob & Co. has built a reputation on imaginative designs inspired by anything
and everything.
Cruise their Instagram there are some ridiculous pieces, it's literaly watch porn.
There is outter space, Octopus, constuction machinery, oil rigs....
I wanna make a Top 5 on these alone.
After Drake posted his pic to the gram, we didn’t have to wait long to see the fruit
of shopping visit: tSoon enough the world was introduced to the Jacob & Co. Astronomia
Casino: a watch that contains a functional roulette wheel and a ceramic white ball that
skitters around it.
For the record, I always bet on 00.
Only 88 pieces of the limited-edition design will ever be produced.
The watch’s 50mm case has a framework forged from 18K rose gold with sapphire apertures
that allow for a largely clear body.
Every element works in perpetual motion thanks to the oscillator at the heart of the three-axis
tourbillon.
This creates a beautiful display with all of its striking inner workings in full view
fixed to a luxe, richly textured alligator strap.
The proprietary Jacob & Co. manually wound movement provides a hearty 60 hours of power
reserve to endure long stretches between windings.
Aright, we are gonna wrap this video up here.
My name is Michael McCrudden.
