Given his unabashed love for “Jony Ives” (sic) and his status as the “next Steve Jobs,” it was only ever going to be a limited amount of time before Kanye West got his hands on a gold Apple Watch.

What may be slightly more of a surprise is that he didn’t just get the regular 18-karat Apple Watch Edition Apple has handed out to seemingly every celebrity who knocks on its doors, but rather the all-gold custom band unavailable to customers, which only Beyonce and Karl Lagerfeld have been spotted wearing so far.

West was spotted last week wearing the Watch at a Louis Vuitton cruise show in Palm Springs, and has also worn it for both an appearance at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and a performance during the Cavaliers vs. Bulls game four of the NBA Playoffs.
