Tom Brady’s watch collection is for sale at Sotheby’s: here are the highlights

Watch.

When Netflix screened Netflix’s Greatest Roast of All Time: The Roast of Tom Brady earlier in the year, his every word became gospel for the millions who watched, rewatched and watched it again, delighting in Kevin Hart’s epic takedown of the NFL legend. But, more importantly – did you see his watch? A unique white-gold and diamond-set flying tourbillon Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, it spelled out his name in calibré-cut and baguette diamonds, with the number 7 nodding to his Superbowl victories.

It is just one of Tom Brady’s personal possessions going under the hammer at Sotheby’s New York during December 2024, with a selection of jerseys and SuperBowl mementos joining his impressive collection of watches. As well as the personalised Royal Oak, highlights include the Richard Mille 35-03 ‘Baby Nadal’, in robust blue quartz TPT, a rose-gold Patek Philippe Nautilus owned by Brady since 2017 and since discontinued, and a platinum Rolex Reference 228396TBR with a meteorite dial.
