LeBron James is the kind of player who makes the positionless basketball that we play now conceivable. He is a celebrity with incredible versatility who does it all. James best understands the value of a well-rounded strategy; he shoots when it counts, completes chase-down stops when necessary, and throws the ball to the side when an unguarded guy is waiting. His timepiece selection also reflects this philosophical outlook. James has a collection of accessories for every event. Besides, he wears timepieces that are quite difficult to get, but emulating his style will work well.

Indeed, LeBron is a timepiece collector who owns a timepiece for every occasion. Here are thus some of the watches from the King’s collection:

1. Patek Philippe Nautilus’ Tiffany Dial’

Less than a year after the Geneva-based manufacturer withdrew the design that was regarded as the most renowned, the “Tiffany Blue” Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5711 was unveiled. The Tiffany & Co. 5711 was all the rage in December, and as was to be anticipated, it rapidly became a wrist favorite among celebrities. LeBron had to possess this highly sought-after Haute Horlogerie novelty; hence he did.

As part of the commemoration of Patek Philippe’s 170th anniversary, Thierry Stern, head of Patek Philippe, said this was the ultimate production for this piece. Hence, the version was limited to just 170 pieces.

2. 39mm Rolex Datejust Pearlmaster

Obviously, a significant day for Lebron James was the second Space Jam launch. Therefore, this would only be appropriate to dress in something spectacular. He rocked in an extremely uncommon Datejust Pearlmaster 39 in 18K Yellow Gold. It features a gradient of green, and yellow, with a blue-tinted sapphire bezel in addition to an olive green dial featuring brilliant-cut hourly markings. Undoubtedly, this is the favorite watch from LeBron James’ collection.

3. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept’ Black Panther’

A popular watch worn by celebrities is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept “Black Panther” Flying Tourbillon. The watch’s dial has a three-dimensional depiction of the Black Panther leaping at you, which is cool. It is carved by hand and fashioned of white gold. A 42-mm titanium casing with a black ceramic bezel completes the watch.

On the other hand, the purple rubber band complements one of the Lakers’ two signature hues. It goes well with the four-time NBA superstar’s purple and brown gameday attire. Of course, the Black Panther sculpture on the piece’s dial was what makes it stand out. It is made of white gold, is laser-carved, and painted by hand to resemble the adored figure played by the late Chadwick Boseman in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. It stands valiantly above the tourbillon placed at 6 o’clock. Overall, there are just 250 of these pieces in existence.

4. Richard Mille RM11-03 Automatic Flyback Chronograph ‘Jean Todt’

It is difficult to think of a stronger advertisement for Richard Mille. But the fact that almost every superstar who purchases one goes on to get another after another. LeBron switched to a new color scheme for the RM 11-03. This one bears Jean Todt’s moniker, a renowned racing driver as well as Ferrari CEO. To achieve the candy-shell effect on this sapphire timepiece, several hues can be inserted into the quartz TPT material that makes up the casing.

The Richard Mille RM 11-03 watch has several components made of Grade 5 Titanium as well as a flyback Chrono that automatically sets to zero. A flyback chronograph, an enlarged date, a month indication, and a rotor featuring changing geometry are all included on the skeletonized dial. It was designed for use on the racetrack, even though it also looks great on the wrist of the basketball player.

5. Rolex Day-Date Gold

LeBron James’ beautiful solid gold Rolex Day-Date is undoubtedly the most prominent timepiece he possesses outside of other brands. The piece is renowned for being one of the most individualized watches in Rolex’s impressive collection. You may select among pink gold or platinum dials and possess Arabic or conventional numerals on the face. For a complete Rolex feel, you may also have it studded with pricey diamonds.

7. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore

LeBron James became a brand ambassador for Audemars Piguet in 2011. He is undoubtedly the best for the position because he is an ardent timepiece collector. Right away, Audemars Piguet collaborated with LeBron to produce Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore, a $50,000 worth piece.

LeBron James’ LBJ logo is imprinted directly on the caseback sapphire crystal of this limited edition. In fact, this self-winding Chrono is much more than just that. It features a tiny seconds dial at 12 o’clock and three subdials. This Audemars Piguet, Royal Oak Offshore case is constructed from 18-carat pink gold, as well as the titanium bezel. The attached Arabic numerals and accentuated pink gold hands create a distinctive Méga Tapisserie motif on the dial.
