Kate Moss' belated birthday gift

Kate Moss' boyfriend bought her a £40,000 watch for her birthday.

The Kills rocker Jamie Hince presented the supermodel with the lavish 18 carat, rose gold piece of jewellery at a belated celebration he threw for her at London's Shoreditch House on Wednesday (20.01.10).

Kate - who celebrated turning 36 on January 16 with a sunshine break in Thailand - was joined at the trendy venue by Jamie's bandmate Alison Mosshart, Arctic Monkeys rocker Alex Turner, Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie and Kate's long-time friend Sadie Frost.

Kate arrived at the party wearing a pair of leather hotpants, a white tuxedo jacket and high heels, and was later presented with a birthday cake which featured an iced image of her holding a microphone.

However, she was not wearing the engagement ring that Jamie, 40, was rumoured to have presented her with on her birthday, quashing speculation the pair are set to wed after more than two years together.

Instead, it has been claimed that Kate - who has a seven-year-old daughter Lila Grace from her relationship with publisher Jefferson Hack - has told the rocker she will only wed when she is ready to, despite numerous proposals from the musician.

A friend of Jamie's said: "He has asked Kate to marry him several times. Kate told him one day she will surprise him by turning around and asking him to elope, when she feels the time is right."
