Cardi B is celebrating her 34th birthday in a big way. The Bronx rapper just added a $3 million Rolex Daytona "Barbie" watch to her collection.
She showed off the watch in an Instagram video on Thursday, October 22nd. Eric the Jeweler of Mavani & Co. presented it to her in the clip.
The Daytona "Barbie" is not a standard Rolex. It is an off-catalog piece made from 18-karat yellow gold, with a pink sapphire bezel and a pink dial.
Eric said only 10 exist in the world, which makes it one of the most exclusive watches around. Cardi said Rolex authenticated the piece after Mavani searched globally for it.
She also showed a custom ring from Pristine Jewelers. It has seven carats of natural diamonds, and she said it was made specially for her.
Cardi framed the post as a gift from Belcalis to Cardi B, using her birth name. The watch comes after a big birthday week. Earlier this week, she said on X Spaces that she spent about $4 million celebrating her October 11th birthday. Overall, it is a very big flex, even by her standards.
Cardi B's $3 Million Rolex Daytona Barbie
The Rolex Daytona "Barbie" has become one of the most talked-about watches among celebrities. Drake, Lionel Messi, and Mark Wahlberg have all been linked to versions of it.
The reference is 126538TRO, and it is known for its bright pink look. Rolex does not sell it in its regular catalog, which is why it is so hard to find.
The price is also a topic of debate. Cardi's jeweler put the value at $3 million, while market estimates for the watch are often much lower, from about $1 million to $2 million.
Whatever the number is, the watch fits Cardi's style. She has always loved big, flashy jewelry, and this one is hard to miss.
Cardi is also busy in music. She made her Tiny Desk debut this week and has said she plans to release a new album in 2027. It is shaping up to be a huge year for her. We will see if she wears the watch on stage soon.
