The white Bape G-Shock with multicolor writing from Bape’s Autumn/Winter 2004 collection is considered to be a holy grail Bape collectible from the apex of the brand and Nigo’s influence.
This Casio Bape G-Shock DW-6900 (white, 2004) customized by Jacob & Co. for Nigo in 2005-6 is encrusted with a total of 14.69 carats of diamonds in yellow, pink, blue, white, and black. Stored in the Jacob & Co. vault since its time of manufacture, the watch is pristine and functional.
The juxtaposition of the utilitarian watch and its playful diamond adornment brings together form and function in a novel way in the context of the trends of early 2000s hip hop, in which primarily luxury watches were being flooded with precious gems.
This watch presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of hip hop, streetwear, and design history.
