Introduction to Belly
Belly, born Ahmad Balshe in Ottawa, Ontario, to Palestinian parents, is one of the more distinctive voices to emerge from the rap world over the past decade. Signed to The Weeknd's XO Records label, he has built a reputation as both a solo artist and a sought-after collaborator, contributing to projects across hip-hop and R&B. His albums, including 2017's Immigrant and 2022's See You Next Wednesday, have cemented his standing as a serious writer and performer with a perspective shaped by his Palestinian-Canadian background — one that sets him apart in an industry that often rewards conformity.
The Belly watch collection, as documented through public sightings, leans toward pieces that carry clear material weight without veering into the purely decorative. The standout confirmed sighting places him in a full 18kt yellow gold Rolex Yacht-Master 40, reference 116688 — a 40mm sports-adjacent watch built entirely in Rolex's proprietary yellow gold across the Oyster case, five-link Oyster bracelet, and bidirectional rotatable bezel. That bezel, with its raised polished hour markers set against a matte surround, is a technical detail that separates the Yacht-Master from other gold Rolex references and signals a buyer who looked past the surface before purchasing.
Choosing the all-gold Yacht-Master ref. 116688 rather than the more commonly spotted two-tone or stainless Submariner or Datejust variants says something concrete about Belly's approach. The Yacht-Master occupies a specific position in the Rolex catalogue — originally conceived as a nautically inspired companion to the Submariner, but built here in a configuration that has nothing modest about it. With only one watch currently logged in our database, the full picture of his collection remains open, but the entry point alone suggests someone with a deliberate eye.
Belly Spotted Wearing an 18kt Yellow Gold Rolex Yacht-Master 40 Reference 116688
Inserted 30/11/2022
The Rolex Yacht-Master 116688 is one of the few references in the modern Rolex catalogue built entirely in 18kt yellow gold — case, bracelet, and signature bidirectional rotatable bezel included. First introduced in 1999, the 40mm nautical icon sits at the top of the Yacht-Master hierarchy and remains a discreet but unmistakable flex. Ottawa-born rapper Belly, known for collaborations with The Weeknd and Nav, was recently spotted wearing exactly this piece — a solid gold statement that aligns comfortably with his luxury-leaning aesthetic.
