We know that rappers love their jewellery and their bling. Trust us when we say that among all of India’s hip-hop artists, Yo Yo Honey Singh stands on a different playing field.

Pick any music video featuring Honey Singh, and you’ll see that more than anything else, it is his quirky jewellery and bling that stands out.

Well, very recently, Honey Singh gave us yet another example of why people consider him to be the king of bling.

Honey Singh recently attended the launch of his new song with Nushrat Bharucha wearing a rather dope and rare timepiece. But first, let’s have a look at his outfit.

Honey Singh is wearing a rather dope looking pick coloured sweatshirt from the Indian streetwear maker, Natty Garb. The ‘Hype Kills’ sweatshirt that he is wearing is a part of their annual Christmas drop from 2020, and we had to admit it looks rather zany.

We also like the fact that he has paired it with a chunky looking pair of sneakers, and a pair of relaxed fit, black coloured denims. Such a pairing allows the sweatshirt to take the centre stage and be the highlight of the ensemble.

However, the watch that we see Honey Singh wearing is the real statement piece from the ensemble, if you ask us.

He is seen here wearing the Patek Philippe Nautilus in Rose Gold. For all the die-hard horologists reading this article, the reference number for the watch is 5711/1R-001.

All Patek Philippes, all over the world, enjoy a massive fan following and are in high demand, thanks to the cult status it has developed. Pick any new generation rapper, boxer, or movie star - basically with loads of cash -  and they will invariably have a Patek Philippe or two.

The end result is, that if you wish to buy the watch from Patek Philippe directly, you need to wait at least for three to seven years, depending on the region and any customisations that you want to go for. To put things in perspective Rolls Royce deliver their cars faster than that in India.

The upshot is that if you buy from authorised dealers, the watch costs about $51,000 or Rs 37,50,000 plus import duties and other taxes.

If you want to skip the waiting period altogether, and just want to get your hands on one of these, be prepared to shell out almost double of the original price.

The same piece that Honey Singh is wearing resells for about $100,000 to $115,000. That’s about 74 to 90 Lakhs, plus commissions to the reseller.

All in all, though, Honey Singh looks rather dope wearing such a cool timepiece.
