Cardi B’s Diamond Watches: Inside Her Iced-Out Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Collection

When it comes to over-the-top luxury, Cardi B isn’t just competing — she’s leading. Over the past few years, her diamond watch collection has become one of the most talked-about in hip-hop, thanks to bold customizations, high-end Swiss brands, and yes — a lot of carats.

Two of her most iconic pieces are the fully iced Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and her diamond-encrusted Patek Philippe Nautilus, both customized by elite jewelers to her exact vision.

Why Cardi’s Watches Matter

Most celebrities choose one statement piece. Cardi wears them all — at once.

She’s helped shift the culture toward fully iced, fashion-forward timepieces that blur the line between jewelry and horology. Instead of safe investments, her watches are expressions — often worn with matching tennis chains, bustdown rings, and massive diamond nails.


Iced Watches in the Diamond District

Cardi’s looks have sparked a new wave of demand in the NYC Diamond District, where jewelers now specialize in:

  • Custom Audemars Piguet diamond settings

  • Aftermarket iced Nautilus builds

  • Matching watch + chain sets for women

  • Bustdown APs with sapphire or pink diamond accents

Whether buying pre-owned or starting from scratch, Cardi’s influence is shaping what luxury wristwear looks like — especially for women who want watches that shine as hard as their style.
