Okay, so, I’ve been diving deep into Tom Brady’s watch collection lately, especially after that crazy Netflix roast thing, and I gotta share what I found. It’s wild!
First, That Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
You know the one he wore during “The Roast”? Yeah, that’s the one I started with. I dug around and found out it’s called the “Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ‘The Roast’.” It’s got white gold and diamonds, a flying tourbillon, and a bracelet. It was pretty obvious it was going to be expensive. I found that it went for $720,000 at an auction. It was estimated to be between $400,000 and $800,000 so that’s within the range. Insane, right? I mean, the guy’s got style, but that’s a whole other level.
Then, I Stumbled Upon This Sotheby’s Auction
Turns out, Brady auctioned off a bunch of his watches, 21 to be exact. And it wasn’t just watches, he sold other stuff from his football career. I tried to see how much everything went for. I learned that the whole collection went for over $9 million! The watches alone pulled in $4.6 million. Can you believe that? I mean, it was cool to see all those other “treasures,” but I was really there for the watches.
Brady’s Got a Thing for Rolex
It was not all Audemars Piguet. Of course, I had to check if he had any Rolexes. And guess what? He does! I found that he’s been seen wearing a few different Rolex Daytonas. There’s this vintage one called the “John Player Special” and another one called the “Le Mans” edition. I found an auction of one of these and it was over a million! The condition of the watch is important for the price, but that’s still so much!
Back to That Audemars Piguet
I wanted to learn more about that special watch. I circled back to that Audemars Piguet from “The Roast.” There was a name and Roman numerals on it. I read that it has Brady’s name and the Roman numeral VII for his seven Super Bowl wins. They’re set in diamonds instead of the usual hour markers. That’s pretty cool, right? A unique touch for a unique watch. I just found that it went for 720 big ones!
The Whole Sotheby’s Auction Was a Big Deal
I wanted to learn more about the auction itself. It happened in New York. It was called “The GOAT Collection: Watches and Treasures from Tom Brady.” It made way more money than expected. All 41 items were sold. I’m sure all the rich collectors were fighting over them, especially for that custom-made Audemars Piguet. Finding out about all this stuff was a fun ride. It’s like a little peek into the world of luxury watches and celebrity auctions. It’s wild to see how much these things go for and how much people love Tom Brady’s stuff!
