Ye showed up at ComplexCon wearing the $1.8 million Audemars Piguet he debuted for his 49th birthday in June. The piece is back in the spotlight, this time at one of the biggest urban culture events of the year.
Which watch is Ye wearing at ComplexCon
It’s an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked in 18-carat white gold set with baguette-cut diamonds, valued at around $1.8 million, according to Complex. Ye first wore it on June 8, 2026, his 49th birthday, in an image Bianca Censori shared on Instagram.
Why this Royal Oak is in a league of its own
The openworked design exposes the watch’s movement, and the baguette-cut diamonds set in white gold are what push it into seven-figure territory. It is one of the most expensive pieces Ye has shown in public, and after its June debut, ComplexCon gives it a second stage in front of a crowd of fashion, music and collecting fans.
What else happened at ComplexCon this weekend
The 2026 edition, marking the event’s 10th anniversary, closed with Playboi Carti’s set on Sunday at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Saturday, by contrast, was marked by the altercation that left LUCKI injured and that the LAPD is investigating as an attempted murder.
