Shortly after Drake helps Future secure his first number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 with their collaborative Certified Lover Boy track, “Way 2 Sexy,” the 6God gifts the Atlanta rapper a rare, one-of-one Richard Mille watch.

Future posted to his Instagram Story earlier this week to show off his new timepiece courtesy of The Boy. With the gift of the Richard Mille, it is even more evident that the bond between the two is strong. In 2015, both artists delivered their first and only collaborative album titled What A Time To Be Alive. The mixtape gave hip-hop fans some of the most memorable hits including “Jumpman,” “Digital Dash” and “Diamonds Dancing.” After the album, the pair worked together on a few more single-track projects that later led to “Way 2 Sexy” on Drake’s latest album.

Future’s Richard Mille post only confirmed that Drake and his friendship is on another level. Accompanying the video of the one-of-one Richard Mille, Future offered up a few words of gratitude writing, “Appreciate it @champagnepapi. Demon time 1 of 1 joint.” Take a look at Future’s generous gift from Drake below.
