Drake has spent plenty of his career rapping about Rolexes, diamonds and the finer things in life, but his latest piece came directly from one of the brands he has shouted out for years. Rolex gifted the Toronto superstar a one-of-one “Ice Gradient Daytona,” a custom timepiece created to celebrate his record-breaking 2026. Drake unveiled the watch on Instagram, calling it “the most important thing” he has ever had the pleasure of owning and thanking Rolex for “blessing” him with the piece.
And this is not your standard Daytona with a few diamonds thrown on it. The watch features a fully pavé diamond dial, a sapphire-covered bezel and lugs, and a bracelet set with baguette-cut stones that gradually transition from white diamonds to blue sapphires. Flip it over and the caseback reads “Freeze the World,” a nod to Drake’s Iceman era. Watch experts have floated estimates as high as $5 million, which, if accurate, could make it one of the most valuable factory Rolex pieces ever produced.
The gift also makes plenty of sense considering Drake’s long-running relationship with Crown. He rapped about having 143 Rolexes in his collection on 2024’s “It’s Up,” and one of his most famous watches — the diamond-and-sapphire GMT-Master II he wore on the cover of Take Care — reportedly changed hands for $500,000 in 2026.
But watches are only one section of Drake’s jewelry box. Throughout his career, Drizzy has commissioned pieces from some of the biggest jewelers in the game, purchased jewelry that previously belonged to other cultural icons and turned everything from failed proposals to his hometown pride into diamonds. With the “Ice Gradient Daytona” giving him another ridiculous addition, here’s a peek at some of the wildest pieces we’ve seen in Drake’s collection.

We might as well start with the newest addition. Rolex created the one-of-one Daytona specifically to commemorate Drake’s 2026 run, covering the watch in diamonds and blue sapphires while working Iceman-related details into the design. Drake’s own post provides one of the best looks at the watch, its custom presentation box and the paperwork that came with it.
“Previous Engagements” Necklace
Only Drake could turn all the times he almost proposed into a multimillion-dollar chain. Designed by Alex Moss, the aptly named “Previous Engagements” necklace features 42 engagement ring diamonds totaling 351.38 carats, with the stones representing the times Drake supposedly considered popping the question but never went through with it. The project took more than a year to complete and has been widely estimated at $12.5 million to $13 million.
The Cogsworth Chain
Drake’s custom Cogsworth chain is extravagant, but there is real meaning behind it. Alex Moss created the life-sized Beauty and the Beast-inspired pendant as a tribute to Drake’s late friend Virgil Abloh, who famously owned his own diamond-covered Lumière pendant. Drake’s Cogsworth contains nearly 155 carats of diamonds, uses 18-karat rose, yellow, and white gold, and even has a functioning rotating pendulum.
“The Crown Jewel Of Toronto”
Drake has never been shy about representing Toronto, so Alex Moss essentially put the city around his neck in 2023. “The Crown Jewel of Toronto” includes the CN Tower surrounded by references to the Raptors, Blue Jays and Maple Leafs, with VVS white, blue and yellow diamonds, Burmese rubies and emerald-cut diamonds set in 18-karat white gold. There is even a hidden key incorporated into the Maple Leafs portion of the piece.
Frank Ocean’s Homer Necklace
Sometimes Drake does not even need to commission the crazy piece himself. In 2022, he purchased a one-of-one Homer Sphere Legs High Jewelry Necklace from Frank Ocean’s luxury brand, reportedly valued at approximately $1.9 million. The 18-karat white-gold necklace features 9,226 lab-grown diamonds totaling 127.5 carats and had previously been worn by Ocean at the 2021 Met Gala.
Pharrell’s N.E.R.D. Chain
One of the more fascinating sections of Drake’s collection is the jewelry he purchased that once belonged to Pharrell Williams. Most notably, Drake acquired Pharrell’s legendary N.E.R.D. pendant chain, originally made by Jacob & Co., for roughly $2.18 million through Pharrell’s Joopiter auction platform. Drake later put several pieces from Pharrell’s old collection front and center in his “Jumbotron Sh*t Poppin” video, turning another rapper’s Hip-Hop jewelry history into part of his own collection.
Tupac Shakur’s Crown Ring
This one is less about sheer diamond count and more about Hip-Hop history. Drake was revealed as the buyer of Tupac Shakur’s self-designed crown ring after it sold through Sotheby’s for $1.016 million in 2023. Made of gold, diamonds, and rubies, the ring was worn by Pac during his final public appearance at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards, making Drake’s purchase an actual piece of rap history rather than simply another custom flex.
The $120,000 OVO Owl Chain
Long before some of the eight-figure necklaces entered the picture, Drake was already putting serious money into his OVO pieces. In 2017, Ben Baller created an OVO owl pendant with a Hermès-style link chain, featuring roughly 40 carats of ice-blue, canary and white diamonds. The reported price was $120,000, and the back was engraved with “MORE” in honor of Drake’s More Life era.
The “ICEMAN” Icebox Chain
Before Rolex gave Drake an Iceman-themed watch, jeweler Eric “Mavani” was already helping him take the nickname literally. The custom diamond-covered “ICEMAN” chain resembles an actual icebox, complete with doors that appear to open so that pieces of ice can be placed inside. Exact pricing and full material specs were never publicly confirmed, but it is another perfect example of Drake turning an album era into a ridiculous one-of-one piece of jewelry.
