Kanye West, aka Ye, celebrated his 49th birthday by adding an ultra-rare Audemars Piguet timepiece to his personal collection and releasing an eccentric new music video directed by his wife Bianca Censori, featuring her milking a cow while wearing lingerie.

Ye officially acquired a rare Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked to mark his birthday milestone. Valued at approximately $1.8 million, according to p.r. reps, the luxury watch was first previewed on Ye’s wrist via an image shared by Censori, an artist who is perhaps best known for her scantily attired public appearances.

The high-end collectible features a 37 mm case and a matching bracelet, both meticulously crafted from 18-carat white gold and entirely paved with baguette-cut diamonds. The watch is engineered with a glare-proofed sapphire crystal and caseback alongside a screw-locked crown, providing a water resistance of up to 20 meters.

Beyond the diamond construction, the visual focal point is its rhodium-toned openworked dial. The watch’s design showcases a specialized double balance wheel mechanism, and the dial is accented with pink gold applied hour markers and signature Royal Oak hands treated with a luminescent coating. An AP folding clasp secures the bracelet.
