Rapper wearing a Calatrava

I am not too familar with Travis Scott, but supposedly he is a well known rapper. He is on the cover of the most recent GQ magazine (US version) along with Kylie Jenner.

On one of the last pages of the magazine, he is photographed with a Calatrava on his wrist. Anyone else suprised he is not wearing a Nautilus, RO, Hublot or a RM instead?

Looks like a 5119J. That’s almost certainly a wardrobe piece for the GQ shoot. I accidentally read too far and they said Travis considers kid cudi to be on the same level musically as Michael Jackson

Looks more like a prop watch to go with the suit to me.... I highly doubt its his.

All you guys need to know is that rapper is loaded and uf he wanted too could easily afford a Patek and and more. No where in Patek marketing does it say that their watches are for the typical prim and proper rich guy. Praz gets crap too when he shares his stunning Patek collection to the world...he gets hate from ignorant people, but I am very sure that the Patek ADs and staff love the guy.

Hopefully that "rapper" brings in interest from a different crowd and provides Patek with additional clients. I'd say if you have a Patek on your wrist and Kyle in your arms that his life if better than most.

I'm guessing that Rappers prefer the YG Day date to PP.

The web says he is worth about 8Million and his GF Kylie is almost worth almost 1Billion...new money!

Not sure why he is refered to as a rapper in this post vs just being a successful person who can easily afford most Patek watches.

Found another article.
Said Kylie bought the Patek for him.
That seems to make more sense

He easily pulled in over 10 last year.
He’s probably pulling 20-30 this year.

Oh and his chick is a billionaire.

Calatrava is loose change to him.

Rapper wearing a Calatrava

Flogging for Dinero -

Also a Cartier...



And none may be his to begin with - it was a set piece to move products.

I feel that mfgs need to reach out to many people to make maintain a solid client list.

There are many ways to be rich and successful, let's be glad that guys like Travis will rock a Patek and that his GF Kylie sees it as a worthy present for him.

Kylie has such a huge following and could possibly impact Patek sales in a positive way.

Congrats to them on all their successes.

Rappers love Pateks, it works with their 'rhymes'. Quite a few wear Pateks, including Jay Z and others. Travis can wear whatever he wants, saw him open for Rhianna and.... thank God for the vocoder.

I don't see anything wrong with it, more and more people are wearing Calatravas without suits in a more dressed down fashion.

This is never his watch. He a young trapper. They don't know anything about horology. They just go for something iced out and expensive to show off.
