LeBron James is not only a superstar basketball athlete, but someone who appreciates fashion and high-end menswear; subsequently it comes at no surprise that he has collaborated for the LeBron James Audemars Piguest 'Royal Oak Offshore' chronograph watch.
This watch is limited to 600 pieces and features an 18-carat, pink gold encasing. Glare-proofed sapphire crystal and a back engraved with the words "Royal Oak Offshore LImited Edition Lebron James" are printed on the back. The LBJ signature is printed on the sapphire crystal.
The dial itself is patterned with grey counters, Arabic numerals and an inner grey bezel. The bracelet is hand-stitched with crocodile and features an 18-carat, pink gold pin buckle to match the encasing.
This is the top player in the watch game -- much like LeBron is in the NBA.
