Luxury Watches for American Athletes Hit St. Petersburg Auction

2025-03-14 // SuperPodium
Exclusive timepieces adored by NBA stars and celebrities go under the hammer in St. Petersburg.

In the heart of St. Petersburg, a rare auction is set to unfold, offering a glimpse into the world of luxury timepieces favored by American sports icons. Two exquisite watches, crafted with the precision of a master jeweler and the elegance of a Renaissance artist, are up for grabs. These aren’t just watches; they’re statements of success, wrapped in titanium and sapphire.

The Crown Jewels of Timekeeping

The first contender is the De Bethune DB28 Yellow Tones, priced at a cool 773,113 rubles. Its sibling, the De Bethune DB28, commands an even heftier sum of 841,856 rubles. Both models boast a titanium alloy body, sapphire crystal faces, and straps made from the finest snake leather. Encased in fabric pouches adorned with the brand’s emblem, these watches are as much a piece of art as they are a tool for telling time.

Auction Details

The bidding war is scheduled for April 4th, with applications accepted from March 4th to March 28th. De Bethune, the brand behind these masterpieces, produces only 150-250 watches annually, making each piece a rare treasure. Their popularity among athletes, including NBA stars Kyle Kuzma and Tyrese Maxey, as well as actor and former NFL player Michael Strahan, has only added to their allure.

Why These Watches?

These watches aren’t just accessories; they’re symbols of achievement, worn by those who’ve reached the pinnacle of their fields. Whether you’re a collector or an admirer of fine craftsmanship, this auction offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history.
