But as far as customising a watch goes, I have to give them points for originality – even if I prefer to keep my own watches in their original configurations. It breaks the golden rule of never customising a Rolex watch, especially given the diminishing value that comes when you tamper with the original condition. Is it particularly my cup of tea? Not really. Between the pair, Drake’s custom creation makes Lil Baby’s look tame and I would probably wear the Lil Baby configuration before I’d attempt Drake’s yellow gold and diamond studded creation. In fact, he’s actually worn one himself – a yellow gold diamond bezel Rolex Day Date affixed to a Chrome Hearts created bracelet in a different style. This isn’t Drake’s first encounter with a Chrome Hearts Rolex.

Drake and Lil Baby have worked together in the past, their relationship clearly established by teaming up for prior projects. Image: isn’t any official reason as to why Drake gifted the Chrome Hearts Rolex to Lil Baby, but hip-hop news outlets are inferring it is to congratulate Lil Baby and collaborator Lil Durk’s latest project The Voice of Heroes that has reached number one in the charts. On paper the pairing really doesn’t make any sense, but hit musicians have the luxury of not following standard rules. What is less familiar is the style being affixed to a Rolex watch. The new aftermarket bracelet designed by Chrome Hearts is very in line with familiar charm and chain bracelets. Founded in 1988 and based in Los Angeles, the brand is known for its silver accessories, gold and diamond jewellry, eyewear, leather, clothing, and even furniture. Image: gifted Rolex is effectively a factory original Rolex Day Date case and dial (likely a vintage 36mm in white gold) affixed to a new custom bracelet created by high-end jeweler Chrome Hearts. Admittedly, a look often derives its strength from the confidence of the wearer, but it would take the swagger of a superstar rapper, in my humble opinion, to pull off such a look. So when I saw reports that Drake had gifted Lil Baby a Chrome Hearts Rolex watch I was immediately confounded by its aesthetic. Rolex is known for what I like to call robust elegance, designs built on the classic Oyster Perpetual format that manage to be both dressy and sporty at the same time. The rapper consistently wears a timepiece on each wrist, giving him ample opportunities to wear both pieces at once.I/trending 33394 A Chrome Hearts Rolex? What the hell did Drake just gift Lil Baby? Zach Blass Either way, no matter what Lil Baby-related occasion they’re celebrating, his friends are smart to get him watches. The educated guess is that it’s a gift celebrating The Voice of the Heroes, Lil Baby’s latest album with Lil Durk, debuting at number one. Since Lil Baby’s birthday won’t come until the end of the year, it’s not entirely clear what the gift is for. Lil Baby posted an image of the watch to Instagram with a thank you for Drake.

Drake, meanwhile, doesn’t even need a birthday to give his buddy a nice gift: a custom Rolex Day-Date outfitted with a Chrome Hearts bracelet. Together with designer Richard Starks Chrome Hearts, the fashion label favoured by a host of well-dressed stars, including Anwar and Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa and Jay-Z, Drake has unveiled a pimped. The reason, of course, is the presents! Last year, for Lil Baby’s birthday, the Brooklyn Nets’ one-hammy hero James Harden gave the rapper a heck of a gift: a “honeybun” (slang for $100,000) inside a Prada bag.along with a Richard Mille RM 030. Lil Baby is a prime example of why it’s so important to have great friends. Welcome to Watches of the Week, where we'll track the rarest, wildest, and most covetable watches spotted on celebrities.
