LeBron James watch – The professional basketball player is well-known for his collection of fancy watches. On his Instagram account, @kingjames, he frequently posts images of himself sporting timepieces. While some people with the resources pursue a single brand or style of watch (or even a single model! ), James has an arsenal of pieces for any occasion.
Like Mark Wahlberg, John Mayer, Kevin Hart, etc., LeBron James is a model collector, the person who has a watch for every occasion.
I have compiled 10 of his watches that I found very interesting. Enjoy the read!

Attending the 2022 Super Bowl in February, James was spotted rocking the hype watch Patek Philiipe Nautilus that features the tiffany blue ‘double signed’ dial while the sapphire crystal caseback is printed with “Tiffany & Co – Patek Philippe 170th Anniversary 1851 – 2021”.
Released in December 2021, the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-018 was created to commemorate the long-lasting partnership between Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. This model with the typical style of Nautilus combined with the iconic blue turquoise (or should I say Tiffany?) colour for the dial is probably the most hyped and coveted luxury watch on earth nowadays.
This exclusive Patek Philippe watch was produced in only 170 units worldwide and is only available at Tiffany & Co. Also, it is worth mentioning that getting your hands on the model is super difficult because of its exclusiveness. You have to be super popular, rich, and have a strong watch buying history.
The first of the limited edition Patek Philippe Tiffany was sold at an auction for $6.5 million, 120 times more than its retail price of $52,000. Earlier this year, in January 2022, the watch was discontinued by Patek Philippe, which increased its value. Despite the skyrocketed market price increase, its popularity is still incomparable, with many high-profile celebrities having been spotted wearing it since its release.
Retail price: $52,000.Auction price: $6,500,000.
At the NBA game at the end of January 2023, the basketball player was seen flexing the Tiffany combo – Patek Philippe Nautilus ‘Tiffany’ watch with other items. He was debuting Nike x Tiffany & Co’s “Overhyped” $400 Nike Air Force 1 Shoes Along With a Varsity Jacket.

The Blue dial features “Grande Tapisserie” pattern with blue counters, white gold applied hour-markers and Royal Oak hands with luminescent coating with the blue inner bezel. Paired with a Blue ceramic bracelet with an AP folding clasp in blackened polished steel. The blue watch comes with a 41mm case and is 9.5mm in height.
