According to AP James was heavily involved in the design process and I respect the fact that they have let this show through in the final product. Housed in a chunky 44mm replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph case (don’t forget, James is a hulking 6ft 8”) the watch is a study in simple contrasts, with gold and grey as the two key protagonists. The brushed titanium bezel stands out nicely against the pink gold of the case, drawing attention without being overly showy although I can appreciate that this style doesn’t suit all tastes.
The Mega Tapisserie patterned dial is a bit more in your face although still not overwhelming thanks to the monochromatic color scheme, complete with contrasting grey sub-registers and pink gold applied arabic numerals and hands. As a final touch the seconds hand has been done in blued-steel.
The reverse side reveals a sapphire exhibition caseback complete with James’ signature in blue, matching the color of the seconds hand of the dial. Underneath is the handsomely finished Calibre 3126/3840 movement, complete with anthracite galvanic treated 22k gold winding rotor. Again, nothing too showy, just well executed in classic AP style. Finishing the look is a grey crocodile strap with pink gold buckle and an additional grey rubber strap.The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph LeBron James is a limited edition of 600 pieces worldwide.
