LeBron James was spotted wearing a Rolex “Eye of the Tiger” Cosmograph Daytona while going to a Lakers game. His most recent accessory selection is no different. The basketball player was observed last Friday during a Lakers game sporting the brand’s most outrageous and distinctive watch, the Rolex “Eye of the Tiger” Cosmograph Daytona, together with a stylish black-and-white Aimé Leon Dore jacket and black-and-white Air Jordans.

Released in 2019, the “Eye of the Tiger” Daytona features a gold 40 mm case and a black tiger-print dial set with yellow gold and diamonds. The timepiece is also adorned with diamond hour markers, yellow-gold hands, and a bezel set with 36 trapeze-cut diamonds. While the watch is designed to look like big-cat stripes (hence the nickname), it has also been referred to as the “Rorschach Test Daytona” due to its unique pattern.

A few years ago, Rolex released the yellow-gold Ref. 116588TBR off-catalog for as much as $214,900 on websites like Chrono24. Two years later, the 18-karat white-gold Ref. 116589TBR was released. Because of the watchmaker’s reputation for releasing high-end designs—such as these Eye of the Tiger timepieces—off-catalog, James’s selection is even more exceptional and valuable.

However, James is not the only famous person to be seen donning the “Eye of the Tiger” Daytona. In addition, DJ Khaled has a Daytona known as the “Eye of the Tiger,” which he recently wore to the 2023 Grammy Awards, the Miami BOSS runway show, and a New Year’s celebration. Like James, the “I’m the One” singer has the yellow-gold design finished with a black rubber bracelet, a surprisingly sporty touch on an otherwise maximally-luxe timepiece.

For James, the “Eye of the Tiger” Daytona is just another example of his impeccable taste in fashion and accessories. As one of the most recognizable athletes in the world, James has always been a trendsetter, and his latest watch choice is no exception. Rolex has always been a favorite brand among top athletes and artists alike, and James and Khaled both wearing this watch in quick succession may point to the watchmaker’s more outrageous designs enjoying a moment in the spotlight.
