Recently, basketball star LeBron James was accidentally caught by paparazzi when he appeared at the match between the Lakers and the Boston Celtics. However, the watch he was wearing on his wrist was what really attracted attention.
For basketball fans in general and LeBron James fans in particular, in addition to being a famous basketball player, he is also known as a classy watch player. With a huge fortune, it is not surprising that LeBron James owns an extremely valuable watch collection, and one of them appeared last weekend.
As one of the highest-paid NBA players, the “king’s” dream watch collection includes everything from top Swiss brands like Rolex, Richard Mille, to extremely rare and even one-of-a-kind Audemars Piguet. Indeed, LeBron James has worn quite a few unique watches when appearing in public.
Throughout the match, LeBron James had to stay on the bench to cheer on his teammates due to injury. His outfit was a combination of purple and gray tones, and he wore a pair of CLOT x Nike Air Max 1 “Kiss of Death – Cha”.
However, what caught the attention of Swiss watch enthusiasts when looking at the photo was the watch model that LeBron James wore on his wrist – the Audemars Piguet x Marvel Royal Oak Concept Black Panther Flying Tourbillon, a creation originating from the collaboration between Audemars Piguet and Marvel Studio. At the same time, this is also the premise for many more watches inspired by Marvel superheroes to continue to be launched in the future.
Overall, the Audemars Piguet x Marvel Royal Oak Concept Black Panther Flying Tourbillon has a rather futuristic design inspiration, with a 42mm titanium case that is sophisticated and sexy thanks to its rounded lines. In particular, the image of the superhero Black Panther in platinum is meticulously hand-engraved by a single craftsman, thereby bringing uniqueness to this timepiece.
The Audemars Piguet x Marvel Royal Oak Concept Black Panther Flying Tourbillon is priced at over $160,000. But since it is limited to just 250 pieces worldwide, customers may have to spend a lot more to own a watch that pays tribute to the late actor Chadwick Boseman, who played Black Panther in the film of the same name.
