Sotheby's is set to host an auction featuring a selection of watches and memorabilia from renowned quarterback Tom Brady, known as "The GOAT" (Greatest of All Time). This collection includes Brady's personal timepieces and significant sports items, offering fans and collectors a unique opportunity to own a piece of his legacy.
Brady's passion for watches is well-documented, and his collection boasts an array of high-end timepieces. A standout piece is the custom Audemars Piguet Royal Oak flying tourbillon. This watch features a distinct salmon pattern and baguette-cut diamonds spelling out "T-O-M-V-I-I-B-R-A-D-Y" instead of numerals, adding a personalized touch. The rotor of the watch even bears Brady's signature, making it a truly exceptional piece.
In addition to the Royal Oak tourbillon, the auction will showcase four other watches from Brady's collection. These include a Richard Mille 35-03 "Baby Nadal," a Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980R, and a Rolex Day-Date "Puzzle Dial" and vintage Rolex Daytona "John Player Special." Each timepiece carries its own unique appeal and contributes to the overall allure of the collection.
Alongside the watches, the auction will also feature memorabilia from Brady's illustrious career. Fans can bid on items such as his NFL Combine shirt from his 40-yard dash, his final game-worn college jersey from Michigan, and a game-used helmet from his time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. These pieces offer a glimpse into Brady's journey to becoming one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.
Collectors and enthusiasts alike will have the opportunity to acquire these remarkable items at the Sotheby's auction taking place on December 10th in New York. The collection will be on exhibition in the week leading up to the sale, allowing visitors to appreciate the craftsmanship and significance of each item.
