DaBaby — watch collection

About DaBaby’s watch collection

DaBaby, born Jonathan Lyndale Kirk in Cleveland, Ohio and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, broke into the mainstream rap scene around 2019 with his mixtape Baby on Baby and the chart-topping single Suge. His aggressive delivery, rapid-fire punchlines, and high-energy live performances quickly established him as one of the more commercially successful rappers of his generation. He has collaborated with artists including Post Malone, Roddy Ricch, and Dua Lipa, accumulating multiple platinum certifications and Grammy nominations along the way.

The DaBaby watch collection, as documented through public sightings, leans toward heavily personalized luxury pieces rather than off-the-shelf references. The standout entry in our database is a stainless steel Rolex Datejust II reference 116300 that has been significantly modified after leaving the factory. The watch features a red Roman numeral dial, an aftermarket diamond-set bezel, and a fully iced-out Oyster bracelet — a configuration that pushes the estimated value to around $35,000 once the cost of professional diamond setting is factored in on top of the base reference price.

The choice of the Rolex Datejust II ref. 116300 is worth noting in context. Introduced in 2009, the 116300 is a 41mm stainless steel model that sat between the classic 36mm Datejust and the more dressy Day-Date in Rolex's lineup. It was discontinued in 2016 when Rolex refreshed the Datejust line, making surviving examples increasingly sought after on the secondary market. DaBaby's decision to take a discontinued reference and push it through extensive aftermarket customization rather than purchasing a flashier base model reflects a particular approach to watch collecting — one that prioritizes personal expression over catalog prestige.
