Rick Ross is no stranger to iced-out timepieces but his latest one is sure to turn heads wherever he goes. Taking to his Instagram stories recently, the music mogul shared with fans a FaceTime call he had with “Jacob The Jeweler” of Jacob & Co. to reveal a watch that they have been working for over three years. Back in March, Hypebeast reported the watch, titled the Billionaire Timeless Treasure. At the time, it was unknown that the watch was for Rick Ross but it is considered one of the largest undertakings for the brand. The watch features a ring of tsavorites that frame the dial and 57 baguette-cut yellow diamonds. The watch uses 880 carats of rough yellow diamonds. The watch saw thousands and hours of labor to set each of 425 diamonds, which came out to be 216.89 carats of Asscher-cutting stone.

In the most recent addition to his lavish lifestyle, Rick Ross debuts a $20 million USD watch. The icy creation by Jacob & Co features diamonds and Tsavorite garnet stones and are set into the watch. In the Instagram Story, it was noted that it “cannot be duplicated.” Rozay tells his 18 milli Instagram followers, “This is the billionaire. From my perspective, it’s a beautiful thing. It’s a beautiful moment. This is an amazing timepiece. It took over three and a half years to collect the stones. These are not emerald green stones. These are Tsavorites.”

Tsavorites are an emerald-green colored grossular garnet that has become one of the most expensive and sought-after stones in the world, making it one of the rarest. The watch is one of many pieces Rozay has received from Jacob & Co. Earlier this year, Ross had a pinky ring hand-delivered to his home in an armored truck which took the Internet by storm after he refused to present the truck driver with the proper identification. Take a look at the moment on Instagram below.
