Drake has taken to his Instagram to show off yet another multi-million dollar timepiece.

This year, the Toronto rapper has been incredibly successful with the release of the chart-topping album, Certified Lover Boy. When it comes to extravagant gifts for others or himself, the rapper is not one to shy away from expensive watches. Earlier this year, Drizzy gifted Future and Young Thug both custom Richard Mille watch for their respective birthdays. Some even speculated that the yellow-banded Richard Mille that Lil Durk received for his 29th birthday may have also come from The Boy himself.

Custom Richard Milles has become a norm for gifts amongst the hip-hop world, with artists like JAY-Z, MoneyBagg Yo, Offset and Nicki Minaj either receiving or giving away these luxury wrist pieces. After his 35th birthday bash, Drake took to Instagram to show off a new Richard Mille RM 56-02 Tourbillon with the caption “Easy Money Year,” perhaps giving a nod to Kevin Durant’s Instagram handle, “EasyMoneySniper.” The watch is reportedly worth $2.2 million USD and is displayed in a transparent sapphire case featuring navy-blue accents to show off the details of the watch. The RM 56-02 also includes a cable-suspension system. Only 10 of these watches are being made, with all 10 already sold.

Take a look at Drake’s new timepiece below.
