Inside DDG's $1.8M Dollar Watch Collection

This is the rarest piece DDG owns and the one he talks about most. The RM 61-01 was built around Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake, with a tonneau case in black TZP ceramic and a skeletonized movement built to survive a 100m runner's wrist. The full production run is just 100 examples, and DDG's piece is numbered 16 of 100, which puts it in genuinely scarce territory. He wears it in a sharp suit setting more than once, leaning into the contrast between formal tailoring and a watch designed for the track.

The RM 030 is Richard Mille's automatic workhorse, built around a declutchable rotor that lets the wearer disengage the winding system to protect the mainspring from over-winding. DDG's example pairs a warm 18k rose gold case with a black rubber strap, the configuration that reads loudest on camera. The skeletonized dial shows off the function selector and oversized date at a glance. It is the kind of reference that signals a collector buying for the movement, not just the silhouette.

DDG owns the RM 030 in its murdered-out finish as well, a blackened titanium and ceramic execution that turns the tonneau case into one continuous shadow. The same declutchable rotor movement sits behind the smoked skeleton dial, with the red function indicator providing the only pop of color. Stacking a rose gold and a blacked-out version of the same reference is a classic deep-collector move, owning the platform you love in two opposite moods. It is one of the quieter heavyweights in his rotation.

The RM 029 is the brand's automatic with an oversized date, a cleaner and slightly more wearable entry point into the Mille world. DDG has been seen with both a titanium-on-black execution and a steel-cased version on a white rubber strap, the summer-ready look that photographs bright. The skeleton dial keeps that signature Richard Mille architecture visible while the big date adds everyday function. It is the most usable Mille in his lineup, and the one most likely to slip under a sleeve.

This is the Royal Oak DDG nearly rage-sold on stream, and it is the most valuable AP in his collection. The Double Balance Wheel Openworked fixes a second balance wheel and hairspring on the same axis, a patented bit of engineering that improves precision while putting the mechanism on full display through the skeleton dial. DDG's piece is the 41mm 18k rose gold execution with the slate grey openworked bridges, trading around the $200,000 mark on the secondary market. The reference is hard to source at retail, which is exactly why his threat to dump it set the watch internet off.

DDG also owns a fully iced rose gold Royal Oak, the case, bracelet, and dial all paved out so the only thing left untouched is the AP logo and the date window. Fully set Royal Oaks like this exist in two worlds, factory diamond pieces and aftermarket custom jobs, and the result here is pure red carpet wattage. It is the louder counterpart to his Double Balance Wheel, the one for the photo rather than the spec sheet. Together the two show he buys the Royal Oak for both reasons, the watchmaking and the shine.

The 5711/1A is the watch that defined a decade of demand, the discontinued stainless steel Nautilus with the sunburst blue dial and Gerald Genta's porthole case. Patek pulled the plug on it in 2021, which only sent secondary prices climbing further. DDG wears his on a fuel truck in front of a Rhude backdrop, treating a six-figure grail like everyday streetwear. It is the most quietly tasteful watch in his entire collection.

DDG's second Nautilus is the opposite of subtle, a fully iced execution with diamonds blanketing the case, bezel, bracelet, and dial. The familiar Nautilus shape stays recognizable under the pave, with only the date window and applied logo cutting through the sparkle. He pairs it poolside above a Los Angeles skyline, the watch doing the talking in an otherwise relaxed fit. Owning the clean 5711 and an iced version of the same icon is the kind of duality that runs through his whole collection.

The Day-Date is the original presidential power watch, and DDG's runs the warm route in full Everose gold with a chocolate dial. The 228235 is the 40mm modern reference, fluted bezel, President bracelet, day and date spelled out across the top and side. Brown dials on rose gold have become a quiet signature among collectors who want the gold without the obvious yellow flash. DDG points to it on camera, which tells you he rates this one higher than its price tag suggests.

The Sky-Dweller is Rolex's most complicated everyday watch, an annual calendar with a dual time zone that only needs one date correction a year. DDG's 336235 is the Everose gold model with a chocolate dial mounted on the sporty Oysterflex rubber strap, a combination that softens the watch's dressy reputation. It sits in the same warm color family as his Day-Date, reinforcing his preference for brown over black or silver. He wears it performing, where the rose gold catches stage light.

DDG's Datejust is a full aftermarket build, a fully iced case and bracelet wrapped around a deep red dial with diamond-set Roman numerals. The contrast of the crimson dial against all that white sparkle is what makes this one pop in a music video frame. Custom Datejusts like this start life as standard steel references before a jeweler takes over, so the value sits in the diamond work as much as the watch. It is the playful, color-forward piece in a collection that otherwise sticks to gold and skeleton tones.

The Santos is the watch that started aviation timekeeping, and the skeleton version turns its bridges into the Roman numerals themselves. DDG's is a fully iced rose gold custom build, the square case and exposed movement framed by rows of diamonds that play off his rose gold chains. He wears it overseas surrounded by fans, the kind of moment where a recognizable shape matters more than a deep spec. It is the outlier in his collection and a sign his taste is broader than the headline brands suggest.
