LeBron James’ Watch Collection

LeBron James has been the sport’s best player for most of his career, but the NBA superstar has also showcased his depth through off-court endeavors. His impactful activism, successful business ventures, and inspiring family life have cemented his status as one of the most influential athletes of his generation.

James is also known for his versatile and unique personal style, frequently showcasing his fashion-forward choices both on and off the court. Of course, luxury timepieces are part of his fashion repertoire. A well-known watch connoisseur, his collection showcases his affinity for high-end timepieces and his discerning taste in luxury watches. Here are the most impressive pieces from LeBron James’ watch collection.

Rolex Day-Date 40 Everose Green Dial

LeBron was spotted wearing a superbly elegant Rolex Day-Date 40 as he cheered on Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami team in the first game of Leagues Cup 2023. The model in question is an Everose gold ref 228235, created to honor the Day-Date’s 60th anniversary.

Embodying luxury and style, the 40mm timepiece is also distinguished by its olive green sunburst dial that creates subtle light reflections. The faceted Roman numerals offer excellent depth to the watch’s face, while the signature fluted bezel, made sharper on this model, complements the hour markers. Inside runs the Caliber 3225, which guarantees seamless timekeeping and a 70-hour power reserve. Photo from GQ France on Twitter

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Turquoise and Coral Dials

The LA Lakers star is also a fan of Rolex’s most accessible timepiece – the Oyster Perpetual. He owns a couple of them including two colorful lacquer dial models from 2020 that echo the aesthetic of the “Stella” dials from the 1970s.

LeBron wore the coral red dial version during his son Bronny James’ sophomore game debut in 2021. One of the rarest novelties of the modern OP line, this watch is known for its vivid appearance, sleek profile, and substantial presence on the wrist.

In addition, LeBron has the turquoise blue dial edition, with a tint resembling the bright, robin egg blue made famous by Tiffany Co. Like the coral dial model, this edition features “double bars” at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock and painted black squares beside the indices for added legibility. Photo from Cassy Athena on Twitter

Patek Philippe Celestial Grand Complications

For occasions that call for tuxedos and dress shoes, LeBron likes to wear the Patek Philippe Celestial Grand Complications. This timepiece, which debuted at Baselworld 2015, exemplifies the Swiss brand’s long history of astronomical watches.

To put it simply, the Celestial Grand Complications tracks what happens in the night sky above us. The black face not only charts the pattern of the stars in the sky as seen from the northern hemisphere but also keeps track of the moon’s phases. The NBA sensation opted for the rose gold edition, accented with a black leather strap and a red crescent-tipped hand that indicates the date. Photo from GQ Magazine on Twitter

Audemars Piguet Millenary Rose Gold

Apart from his obvious adoration for Rolex and Patek Philippe, LeBron also has quite an array of Audemars Piguet watches in his collection. One of them is the Millenary – a horological masterpiece with a unique design. This timepiece debuted in 1995 and was named as such in honor of the impending third millennium.

We’ve seen the athlete rock a rose gold version with a complementing brown leather strap. The rest of the watch is classic Millenary from the oval-shaped body, decentralized silver dial with radial Roman numerals, and skeletonized in-house movement that showcases a Cotes de Geneve striping and a 60-hour power reserve. Photo from LeBron James on Twitter / X

Rolex Daytona John Mayer

LeBron’s Rolex collection consisted not only of fun pieces but also designs that have reached cult status. From the Daytona range, he has the ref 116508 from 2016, better known among collectors as the Daytona John Mayer. Its moniker came to be after the musician wore it in an interview.

The Daytona John Mayer is distinguished by an iridescent ‘British Racing Green’ dial that commands attention. This distinctive hue, paired with yellow gold, makes for a lustrous combination, making it a standout in the Daytona line. The hints of red in the “Daytona” text and the inner rings of the chronograph counters add a motorsport flair to the watch’s design. Photo from Front Office Sports on Twitter / X

Rolex Yacht-Master II Yellow Gold

The NBA’s all-time leading scorer is also a proud owner of Rolex’s most complicated sports watch – the Yacht-Master II. His choice model is one of the pioneer Yacht-Master II models with a solid yellow gold finish and a larger 44mm case.

Blending opulence and utility, the watch is also notable for its blue Cerachrom bezel – a material celebrated for its exceptional scratch resistance and enduring color. The white face displays a regatta timer, pivotal for yacht racing enthusiasts, as well as touches of blue and red. Under the hood is the 4161 movement, which offers improved resistance to magnetic fields and a 72-hour power reserve. Photo from Kelsey Mitchell on Twitter / X

Audemars Piguet Black Panther Flying Tourbillon

LeBron displays his penchant for statement-making timepieces with the Audemars Piguet Black Panther Flying Tourbillon. Hailing from the Royal Oak Concept line, this limited edition of 250 pieces was created as an homage to its namesake Marvel franchise.

Introduced in 2021, the Black Panther Flying Tourbillon exudes avant-garde elegance with its sandblasted titanium body surrounded by a black ceramic bezel. The dial showcases a hand-painted white gold 3D Black Panther character set against a purple inner bezel and a tourbillon cage that grants the movement a unique 3D effect. A purple rubber strap with a titanium folding clasp ties the futuristic look together. Photos from Audemars Piguet and GQ Magazine on Twitter

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 25th Anniversary Chronograph Tourbillon

Another intricately designed timepiece in LeBron’s collection is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 25th Anniversary Chronograph Tourbillon. Limited to 50 pieces, this watch honors the 25th anniversary of the Royal Oak Offshore collection.

Crafted from 18k pink gold, this timepiece boasts a hefty case with 45mm diameter and 16.3mm thickness, making a bold statement on the wrist. Its black dial reveals the cutting-edge architecture of the hand-wound Caliber 2947 and is accented with lume-filled pink gold hands. The pink gold bezel enhances the watch’s aesthetic appeal, while the black crown and rubber strap provide contrast to its warm exteriors. Photos from Audemars Piguet and GQ Magazine on Twitter

Audemars Piguet LeBron James Royal Oak Offshore

This list would not be complete without the NBA legend’s collaborative timepiece with Audemars Piguet – the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Limited Edition Lebron James. Only 600 of these watches were produced in 2013 following LeBron’s appointment as an ambassador for the Swiss brand.

Measuring 44mm in diameter, it is made of both titanium and gold – a combination not often seen on a watch. The eight screws on the bezel echoes the gray tones in the dial and strap, while the chronograph pusher is set with diamonds, reflecting LeBron’s sophisticated taste. Moreover, the timepiece omits any allusion to the athlete’s sport, opting for an off-court look that would be appropriate for any occasion. Video from Exclamation Events on YouTube
