Badshah’s most expensive watch: Indian rapper and Indian Idol judge Badshah recently became the first Indian to flaunt a rare Rolex timepiece – the Barbie Daytona. Worth nearly Rs 18 crore, it is made in 18-carat yellow gold with a hot pink sapphire bezel. There are less than 10 pieces of this watch in the entire world. Known for his love for brands, labels, and couture, the ‘Kala Chashma’ singer’s entire luxury watch collection is valued at over Rs 25 crore.
Seen studded in logos, Badshah flashes several couture brands in public appearances. From Balenciaga to Gucci, he is also one of the richest rappers in India with a net worth well over Rs 120 crore, as per several reports. Apart from being on the panel of Indian Idol judges, Badshah also appeared as himself in Aryan Khan‘s viral OTT debut series Ba***ds of Bollywood.
Badshah’s rare Rolex Daytona ‘Barbie’
One of the ten owners of the Rolex ‘Barbie’ Daytona, Badshah, joined the list alongside Argentinian star footballer Messi. Flaunting his Rolex, Messi stepped out with this ultra-rare blinged watch at an Inter Miami match earlier his year.
The 18-carat yellow gold is accentuated by nearly 40 pink cut sapphires on the bezel, with 12 others on the dial as hour markers. The blinged-up timepiece is an off-catalogue creation, with no listing on any retail website. This Rolex watch is not advertised anywhere and is reportedly worth £700,000 or Rs 18 crore. Part of the Daytona collection, it was launched in 1963, one of the world’s most legendary chronographs.
Badshah’s Luxury watch collection
Along with this exquisitely unique Rolex timepiece, he also owns a Richard Mille RM 65-01 Automatic Split-Seconds Chronograph. Unboxed in 2025, it is reportedly priced at nearly Rs 4 crore, and he was seen wearing it at a launch event. The limited edition model is a white Quartz TPT case and a keletonised dial. The RMAC4 calibre gives it its record-breaking features. With a titanium baseplate, the watch beats at a 36,000 vph – making it a technical marvel.
Badshah doesn’t shy away from showing off his timeless icon, the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-014 in an olive green dial. Embossed with the Aquanaut chronograph, this luxurious watch is worth more than Rs 1 crore. It is made in an octagonal bezel shape, making the dial pop. With Arabic numerals on the dial, the case has a luxurious satin finish. Complete with a composite strap, it is resistant to saltwater and UV rays.
The titanium red strap of the Greubel Forsey GMT Balancier Convexe screams Badshah. One of the crown jewels of his collection, this timepiece has a titanium case which sits on a silver strap. The technical finesse is a testament to its craftsmanship. Flush with the sapphire crystal, it has a three-dimensional bezel with only 22 pieces in the entire world. The machinery is nothing but a piece of art and contains nearly 500 parts and is worth nearly Rs 4 crore.
The Hublot Big Bang Original Gold Ceramic is another notable piece in Badshah’s collection and retails at more than Rs 34 lakh. Made with 18-carat gold, the satin texture exudes a lush finish. Secured by signature Hublot H-shaped screws, the dial is matte with chequered patterns. The case material is made of rose gold and ceramic and flaunts a see-through back.
