Everyone already knows that the musician and producer owns another Billionaire III that has over 129 carats of diamonds and 713 white diamonds set in it. It’s his most expensive watch and is worth an unbelievable $3 million.But this brand-new piece, which has a unique gold band and setting, doesn’t seem to be for sale to anyone else. This means it’s truly priceless.
