LeBron James is one enigmatic figure whose influence extends beyond boundaries and territories. This time around, he himself flew across continents to pay a shocking visit to Saudi Arabia. The billionaire’s arrival in the largest Middle-East country was unexpected as the NBA superstar went to flaunt his collection over there.
What did LeBron James flaunt?.
During the recent visit, the Los Angeles Lakers talisman met the Egyptian singer Ahmed Saad in Riyadh. They shared a laugh with each other as LeBron’s wristwatch caught everyone’s attention. It turned out to be Rolex’s new out-of-catalogue collection, which put the NBA superstar’s fondness for watches fully on display.
The model named Day-Date 36 ‘Puzzle’ 128238 with a mesmerizing puzzle turquoise dial was customized in 18k yellow gold. On a single-colored background, a jigsaw puzzle-inspired motif was visible. The puzzles contained a total of six colors, namely red, fuchsia, turquoise blue, yellow, orange, and green.
Interestingly, each of these represented one key moment in life. This was not all, as there was a small window at 3 o’clock built within the watch. It displayed one of the thirty-one emojis on a daily basis, signifying the detailing of the asset. The model had a five-figure retail price of $61,500, further proving the 4-time NBA champion’s love for rare collections.
