(credit: @nas)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Look Into Nas&#8217; Rolex Watch Collection<\/h2>\n<p>In Nas&#8217; lyrics and hip-hop culture at large, it&#8217;s easy to see that a Rolex watch is a clear symbol of having made it. While there are also lyrical mentions of other watch brands like Audemars Piguet, Panerai, and Hublot, Rolex is still king. Nas&#8217; love for Rolex is well documented\u2014his Instagram profile is one place to see them. Among his many luxury watches, we spotted a few Rolex pieces worth mentioning. Let&#8217;s take a closer look.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Rolex President<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Judging by pictures, Nas&#8217; has owned several Rolex President watches throughout his career. Given what he has said about Black Jay&#8217;s Rolex President, it comes as no surprise that Nas would want to own some Day-Date timepieces too. We have noted at least three different President models on Nas&#8217; wrist.\u00a0One of them is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex\/president-41mm-yellow_gold\">larger 41mm yellow gold Day-Date II<\/a> with a champagne dial. We can&#8217;t be certain, but another one of Nas&#8217; Rolex President watches looks to be a yellow gold Day-Date 36 with a black dial. But the one that really caught our eye is his vintage Rolex Day-Date with a rare coral Stella dial that was big in the 1970s.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14369\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14369\" style=\"width: 893px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14369 size-full\" title=\"A rare Day-Date like the Stella Coral Dial shows us that he truly values watches.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/nas1.jpg\" alt=\"Nas' Rolex Watches include a rare Day-Date.\" width=\"893\" height=\"893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/nas1.jpg 893w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/nas1-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/nas1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/nas1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/nas1-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/nas1-380x380.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 893px) 100vw, 893px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14369\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Rolex Day-Date with a rare Stella Coral Dial.\u00a0(credit: @nas)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Rolex Sky-Dweller<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Nas has at least <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/celebrity-rolex\/carmelo-anthonys-rolex-collection.html\">two Rolex Sky-Dweller watches<\/a> in his collection like many other celebrities.
